EASTERN BASKETBALL LEAGUE - CONNECTICUT
Finished: 11-9 .550, 3rd place
Semi-finals: Lost to Meriden, 2-0
The three-time defending champions saw a marked drop-off this season. Only a few players returned from the previous season, and owner / coach Larese went through a lot of different players to try and find a winning combination. They did qualify for the playoffs, but were swept by Meriden in the semi-finals.
