The 1975-76 Tiger basketball team, developing their own identity as an unselfish team, continued the win– ning tradition at UE by winning the STAC championship game over Binghamton North by a score of 52-50. The Tigers were 18-0 going into the Section IV playoffs. The Tigers' success was the result of dedication, hus– tle, and determination by all who wore the Orange and Black. Led by two returning veterans, Tom Buiocchi and Mark Hover, and inspired by the exceptional devel– opment of John Snyder, Bob Crane and Mark Patrick, the entire Tiger team jelled into a unit which brought outstanding success to a deserving group of Fine ath– letes. Time after time the Tigers helped each other and took up any slack that might have developed. Fifteen players played as one unit and brought pride and success to their team and their school. This is teamwork--and Teamwork was the trademark of the Tigers this year.
