But no matter what changes, the perpetual jealousy of DeMatha's superior sports programs is eternal in the WCAC. ;-)

In 1965 I managed to score tickets to the game at Cole Field House at UMD to witness DeMatha break the 71 game winning streak of NYC's Power Memorial Academy. DeMatha's ball handling and shooting held Lew Alcindor in check. Tremendous hype over Alcindor overlooked his still gawky moves. Heck of a game. Youtube has some footage. Big consistent winners always leave whiners in their wake.

You are a blessed man. That’s a little before my time, but I’ve seen the game ball, met some of the players, and of course, was taught World History by Morgan Wooten, himself.
