1947-48 Stamford Celtics (EBL-Ct)

1947-48 STAMFORD CELTICS
EASTERN BASKETBALL LEAGUE - CONNECTICUT

Finished: 8-6 .571, T-2nd place

Semi-finals: Lost to Wallingford, 2-1

Stamford was represented by the Pros last year, but the team dropped out before the season ended. This year, the Stamford entry was known as the Celtics but carried a couple of players from the previous season. A five-game winning streak mid-way through the season brought the team back into the race, and they finished in a tie for second place, but were bounced out of the playoffs by Wallingford.
