Solvay
High's 1948-49 basketball team, defending Section III champions in a
Syracuse Herald-American photo. The team would go for its 27th straight
win in a Monday night game at the State Fair Coliseum against North
Syracuse. Team
members (left to right): Gene Rabaglia, Bimby Smolinski, Joe Romano,
Mike Jerome, Angelo Fernandez, Joe Squillacioti, Joe Cristoforetti,
Hank Serafini. More times than not during the 1940s and '50s, Solvay's
varsity basketball teams carried just eight players.
