One look at the Walpole High boys’ basketball team’s 5-15 record this season would give the impression that this was not a very good team at all.
After losing at the end of the season to Norwood, following a loss to Framingham that gave the Flyers’ their only win of the season, the Rebels found themselves tied for last in the Bay State Herget, a position they hadn’t held since the beginning of the decade.
That’s just one look, however. Another look would reveal a lot more, including the reason why there’s hope not only of getting back into the postseason next winter, but of even challenging for the Herget title.
First of all, Walpole played in arguably the deepest league in the state, especially with the highly competitive Bay State Carey Division included.
Also, of the 20 games the Rebels played this year, 17 of them were against teams that made the state tourney, another testament to how tough the Bay State League, …

The Hunt is over in the Walpole Youth Basketball Association.
Not only has Jim Kelliher’s seventh and eighth grade Georgetown team won the town league championship after eight years of trying, but co-coach Hunt Bergen, whose son Tim is now in college, has finally decided to step down as a coach after his eighth year.
“No more coaching after this year,” says Bergen. “But it’s a great program, very well organized and the kids get equal playing time. I think Ed Barmakian runs a great league, and John Borden runs a great website. But it’s time for me to step down.”
The end of Bergen’s run, long after the last Bergen graduated from the program, came after his Georgetown team knocked off the UConn team coached by Robert Gay in Sunday’s title game, 50-39.
The championship was one of many displaying the parity and competitiveness of the town-wide basketball association, which features teams from grades three through 12.
In order to win, fourth-place Georgetown had to knock off the top two teams in the league and succeeded. At the …

Anyone else walking out of the Elm Street School after a hard-fought basketball game the evening of Saturday, January 23, probably would have been pretty frustrated.
That was the night that the Mavericks of the Walpole Youth Basketball Association dropped to 2-4 a third of the way through the season after losing a 59-53 decision to the Wizards.
Coach Bruce Cameron’s band of high school athletes, which include sons Brian and Nate, had just been barely beaten for the fourth time, and were buried in the bottom of the league. Making the season even more frustrating for the Mavericks was that the four losses came by a combined 12 points, making an earlier 81-57 victory seem almost pointless in a way.
The coaches in the league have an uncanny ability to draft for parity, though, something Cameron realized when he told his 11 players not to give up, anything could happen in the WYBA.
Anything could, and did. The team went from the …
