1938-39 Waterbury Ashleys (CSL)

1938-39 WATERBURY ASHLEYS / SPEEDBOYS
Paddy Damelio

CONNECTICUT STATE BASKETBALL LEAGUE
1st Half: 3-5, .375, t-5th place
2nd Half: 0-7, .000, 9th place


Waterbury was represented by the Ashleys and despite poor offensive output, managed to split their first four games. At this point, however, the Ashleys were replaced with the West Side Speedboys, a local semi-pro club lead by Henny Carrington. Despite what was thought to be a boost to Waterbury's fortunes, the Speedboys would only win one league game, finishing the first half with a 3-5 record and then getting swept out in the second half, failing to win a single contest. Bobby Ray was the only Ashley who was kept on when the clubs changed personnel.
