1953-54 BERWICK CARBUILDERS

EASTERN BASKETBALL LEAGUE - PENNSYLVANIA
15-15, .500, t-3rd

Berwick added NBA veterans Red Meinhold and Bucky McConnell in hopes of finally making a run in the League. After a 6-6 start, they ran six games in a row to improve to 12-6 and were knocking at the door of the league lead 

but then went ice cold, losing 7 of their last 8 and finishing 15-15 and tied for third. However, They were the odd team out as Lancaster and Hazleton, both with identical 15-15 records, gained the two remaining playoff spots.
