Nick Tagliaferri Quotations

We won the West Branch League in 1956, 50 years ago. That's the only banner we've got. Up until this year, they said they didn't know basketball existed. Our boys wanted to do something to leave their mark, though.

Both teams kept going after each other. It was a game of little runs and we made the last one.

This is really good for the town of Hughesville. These kids want to leave their mark in the school and they did. I don't think anybody realizes the hard work and long hours these kids put in.

I told the guys at halftime that this was a game of little spurts. When we came out of the locker room and made that run to start the third, I thought we were asserting ourselves. But give Lewisburg credit, they came right back, answered and re-took the lead.

Hughesville has had a decent basketball team once every five, six, or seven years. I think some people didn't even know we had a basketball program when I first took over.
