Crimson Eagles Gained Sole Possession of First Place in FCIAC East By Defeating Rams in New Canaan on This Date in 1964

Andrew Warde High School's boys' basketball team gained sole possession of first place in the FCIAC Eastern Division by defeating New Canaan, 64-57, on the Rams' court 48 years ago today, Friday, January 31, 1964.

Meanwhile, Staples bowed to Stamford Catholic's revenge-minded Crusaders, 67-59, in an upset. The Wreckers, who trounced Stamford Catholic in December, fell to 7-6 in league play, one game behind Warde in the Eastern Division standings.

Strong rebounding by Jim Bodnar, Marty Melson, and Hank Gellert, along with the double-figure scoring of four players, enabled coach Donald Feeley's Eagles to down New Canaan for the second time and lift their FCIAC record to 8-5.
