1956 Coach Gig Pariseau’s Tolman eleven will oppose the

Wizards of West Warwick at 2:00 pm. in a Class B clash of unbeatens in the second game of a Saturday doubleheader that will feature a 10:30 morning game between Saint Raphael Academy and De LaSalle at McCoy Stadium. The Tigers’ forward wall has Al Najjar and Art Messier at the ends, Henry Kinch and Henry Taylor at the tackles, Ken Gaucher and either Don Neill or Jim Goodman at the guards and Ron Douglas at center. The backfield will be comprised of Al Watters at QB, Ron Washington at fullback and with Curt Richards and Paul Tweedley manning the halfback slots.

1966 Rick McLaughlin of Cumberland proved beyond any

measure of doubt that he is the best cross-country runner in the state by romping to a 40-yard victory in the state meet held at the hilly 2.5-mile Our Lady of Providence Seminary course in near record time. McLaughlin over took unbeaten Class A champion Bobby Doyle of Hope on the second hill and quickly opened up a sizeable lead to coast to his 40-yard advantage over runner-up Henry Vierra of East Providence. McLaughlin finished in 12:25.3 just shy of Doyle’s course record of 12:24.4 set a week ago in the class championships.

1976 The Lincoln Middle School girls’ cross country team took

second place in a nine team invitational meet. Debbie Doucette’s fifth place finish paced the harriers.

The boys’ varsity squad placed fifth in the following order: Hank Sarazin 17th, Paul Welch 26th, John Brais 28th, Tom Brais 41st and Bob Baldwin 43rd.
