The 1951-52 version of Nyack's basketball team had a great chance at the
county title. led by Coach Frank Nelson, 1951 Coach of the Year, the team had a
number of returning lettermen .
The squad was hit hard by the loss of All-County star Ira Howard to the eighth
term eligibility rule. However back from last year were four first-stringers, Carl
Brooks, Jimmy Brown, Skeets Kelly, and Russ Sisco.
Nyack's league opener wasn't very encouragmg to Indian supporters as the
Haverstraw Raiders edged out the local squad in a very thnlling contest . The team
soon found itself, ri nging up four big wins in a row.
At the end of the first half of the season Nyack was in a first place tie with
Haverstraw and Suffern.
