Both Championship seasons were led by the highest scorer in Nazareth History, Robert Phelps, along with some absolutely great and supportive teammates, which included, John Clarke, Marquis Scott, Warren Macintyre, David Palmer and John Sledge. These teams demonstrated unselfish play and tenacious defense. Wow! What great memories of school that overcame many obstacles behind the efforts of some determined and caring leadership in Ms. Terry Brody, Ron Sme, John Lorenzetti, Bobby Montgomery and my staff during those years, Idris Conry, Jamie Atkins, Phil Hayes, Sr., Lou Georgeanno, Keith Williams and Earl James.
