Northern Division
12-16, .429, 4th place
Pottsville was optimistic to contend going into the season. Coached by Chink Crossin, basketball star from Luzerne, Pennsylvania, who played in the NBA for the Warriors for a few seasons, Crossin left the team after five games to play in the ABL (Crossin missed the December 16 loss to Sunbury; Packers' team executive Malcolm Reeves filled in as coach then.) After Crossin left, Allan Spehrley took over as coach and the team stumbled the rest of the season, finishing in last place in the Northern Division and out of the playoffs. Even a nearly complete team revamp in February did little to change their fortunes.
