BASKET 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.
