This Day in History: 1937-01-03
Despite a remarkable fourth quarter comeback Mahwah’s Holy Name basketball team was defeated by tThe Ramapo Athletic Club in a game at the Fire Hall in Hillburn. Holy Name was missing its star center, John Parlagi, and were overwhelmed in the first three quarters 32-9. In the final ten minutes, though, Holy Name scored twenty-two, a remarkable figure considering the time spent in jumping up the ball after each basket which was still the rule in those days. John Krupinski ended the game with 12 points, and Gene Kwonacki scored eight. Ormstead of the RACS scored fourteen for the winners. An average of a basket every thirty seconds. A crowd of 85 Mahwah fans cheered on their team in vain.
