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 49 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.
