Eagles Swept Season Series From Ludlowe; Posted 10th Straight Home Victory 47 Years Ago Today

Andrew Warde High School's boys basketball team completed a sweep of its intra-town season series with Roger Ludlowe by trouncing the Tigers, 87-62, at the Crimson Eagles' gymnasium, Tuesday, February 5, 1963.

Pete Jankovsky turned in an outstanding 34-point performance to equal the all-time Warde scoring record at the time, originally established by Joe Magdon. The Eagles' co-captain, who connected on 13 field goals and eight free throws, helped the winners qualify for the CIAC state Class A tournament.

Head Coach Don Feeley's cagers also climbed into a tie for second place in the FCIAC Eastern Division with New Canaan. Both teams sported 9-5 conference ledgers. Warde, which improved to 10-6 overall, won its 10th straight home game.

Ludlowe, meanwhile, fell to 2-12 in conference play and 2-13 overall. The Tigers, last in the FCIAC East, were one game back of McMahon (3-11). The Eagles, four games behind division-leading Staples, prepared to face the 13-1 Wreckers three nights later.
