Several members of the 1945-46 Edward Little High School men’s basketball team, the last to capture a state championship, were honored Tuesday, Jan. 2, at the ELHS gymnasium prior to the regularly scheduled league game against Cheverus. Dan Driscoll, Bob St. Hilaire, Chester Ridley, Orvis Bonney, Norm Brackett and Bob Carpentier, were able to attend the event and received a standing ovation from the fans. The 1945-46 team was coached by Clyde Hatch, who led them to impressive wins over Biddeford, Portland and Deering in the Western A tournament. Team members who were unable to attend the event included William Freeman, Tom Auger, Don Macintosh, Stanley Bubier, Carlyle Coutts, John Hanlon, David Higgins and Don Robinson. All received a stadium blanket, a commemorative T shirt and other ELHS memorabilia.
