Can't believe I forgot about Delbarton. My nephew started in the back court there with Raftery's son a while back. There is a lot of talent in Morristown but a lot of kids just don't have the grades.
Who is the 6-10 walk on?

You may know my dad then . He coached at the township right before the merger . I've been coaching with coach Erv for the last ten years . Great coach !
I coached at Hanover Park back in the early 80's. Back then Mo-town, Mendham and Mountain Lakes were very good. Also it was right after Tony Mack retired and both Chathams were horrible.
In the states in 83' we beat Shabazz by about 25 before losing in OT to P-Burg.
P-Burg won the states Group 2 that year beating Terrence Bailey's Ewing team in the final.
In the countys we lost to Mo-town in the finals. Trivia question: Who was Mo-town's head coach?
Answer: Charlie Weiss! Yes the same Charlie Weiss!!!
I actually played at Hanover from 95-99. We had some good teams but only made the semis once . In those years parsippany par hills and mendham were all unbelievable and were all ranked in the state . I think your year coaching Hanover was the only year they made the finals .
I actually was at HP for two tears. Wendy Wear was my JV coach.
I don't remember who we played in the first round but beat Par Hills in the quarters (we beat them 3 times that year), knocked off Mendham in the semis.
They had a real good team with George Dragonetti and Mackey Pendergast before losing to Morristown. They played well and I was a very young head coach (25)as was Weiss and I didn't make some adjustments I should have.
If we had beaten them we would have been ranked in the state. Finished the season 23-6.
Impressive . Wendy was the frosh coach when I played there but I never played for him . Was a great guy.
I believe it was him I lost to by a point in the MC JV Tournament when I was at Bailey Ellard.
Might have been his son. Wendy was a former minor leaguer in the Dodger chain. He was at HP forever.
My first year as a varsity coach at HP in 81-82 we lost to BE in the MCT second round.
They had two good players: Everton Byfield was one but I can't remmeber the other.
More likely his Dad. I looked up the name and came upon a Wendell Wear from West Orange born in 1919. .
A year or so before we beat St. Anthonys in the states with Byfield, Forster (great player) and Steve McGuire. SA had David Rivers. We beat them pretty bad and they didn't lose to another NJ team for about ten years.
I don't remember McGuire. Forster (first name) was the other kid I remember and we controlled him pretty well. I remember it was Byfield that killed us.
Was it Muzz Lindsey who was the coach??
