This Date in Andrew Warde High School History: Warde Wins; Ludlowe Loses

Let's take a look back at what happened on this date --- February 11, 1963 --- in Andrew Warde High School history.



The Crimson Eagles' boys basketball team defeated Stamford Catholic High School for its 11th win of the season. Warde trounced the Crusaders, 87-50, as co-captains Bob Ryan and Pete Jankovsky paced the winners.

The following day, the game made headlines in the sports section of The Bridgeport Telegram. Ironically, juxtaposed with the Warde summary was a story about the Roger Ludlowe High School boys basketball team's crushing defeat at New Canaan High School. The Flying Tigers were grounded by the Rams, 63-37.
