1986

Curtis Moore of Davies Vocational, a talented 5-foot10 junior who powered the Patriots to a second straight Class C championship, finished the regular season with a best-ever Times-Area schoolboy single-season scoring average of 32.0 points per game, eclipsing the previous record of 29.1 set by Tom Beaucage of Davies in 1977-78. Rounding out the top five pointgetters are Tolman’s Dave Dalpe (18.0), Carlos Berrios of Central Falls (17.9), Bishop Feehan’s Brian Nelson (17.2) and in fifth place with a 16.9 mark is Dave Dargy of Tolman.

1996

Coach Nick Pagliaro’s Central Falls volleyball squad, which captured the R. I. Class C championship last year, began league play with virtually an all new team and whipped Our Lady of Fatima 15-2, 15-7, 15-8. Senior Angie Chirinos, who will be the focal point of the Warrior’s offense, served four aces and put away nine kills, sophomore Vanessa Espinosa also registered four kills and junior Lenis Guzman served a pair of aces. Pagliaro singled out the play of senior setter Angelina Rada who gave her teammates, Chirinos and Espinosa, the opportunity to score points.
