Boys Basketball Team - 1962

Led my Coach Stephen Cronin and co-captains Frank Eighme and Tad Welch, the basketball team dominated the league in 1962, finishing with a 15-1 record while winning the Eastern Division crown and Class C Championship. The team averaged 74 points that year, enjoying an impressive average scoring margin of +23. Sparked by the dominant interior play of Eighme, the long range shooting of Bill Reynolds (BHS HOF 3rd Class), the all around scoring talent of Jay Sarles (BHS HOF 2nd Class), the rebounding of Bob Schmid and the floor play of Mike Raffa, the team advanced to the State Tournament. Highlighting the team's run in the playoffs was a resounding 77-60 upset of LaSalle Academy in the quarterfinal game. Recognizing the teams success, Eighme was named Second Team All-State while Reynolds and Sarles were selected First Team All-Division.

Football Team - 1960

With a solid core of starters from the previous year, including co-captains Anthony Amaral, Steve Hess, Gordon Haas and Frank Vollaro (BHS HOF 1st Class), Coach Frank Murgo (BHS HOF 1st Class) led his football team to a 7-1 league record in 1960. On the morning of Thanksgiving, the Eagles were in a three-way tie for first place with Scituate and Bristol. Who would be named the Class C Champion would come down to the winner of the annual Barrington-Bristol classic as the Eagles trounced the Colts 26-13 to win its first football league crown in more than a decade and the first at Barrington High School for Coach Murgo. Thanks in large part to the defensive and offensive line play of All-Staters Hess, Haas and Vollaro, the team's stingy defense only allowed 8.5 points per game, including three shutouts, while the offense averaged a solid 21 points per game.
