1939-40 WEST HAVEN RED DEVILS
CONNECTICUT STATE BASKETBALL LEAGUE
1st Half: 3-5, .375, 7th place
2nd Half: 3-5, .375, t-6th place

Last year's runners-up to the title, to say this year was a disappointment for the famed Red Devils is a huge understatement. They finished both halves with a 3-5 record and a long way from the championship. Coach Herky Rubenstein's club started 1-4 and failed to score 40 points in four of those games. Ferrie and Collins were the high scorers, but the lack of depth spelled disaster for the Devils.
