  With seven victories in its 14 East Penn League games included in its over-all record of 15 wins and 7 defeats, Pottsville High enjoyed its first winning basketball season since 1956-1957. In his third season, Coach "Larry" Haberle had the Crimson Tide finished in a two-way third-place tie in the first half league race. 4-3 and another two-way fifth-place tie, 3-4 in the second half. The best previous league record was also in the 1956-57 campaign, when there was an even split in a ten-game schedule. Before its initial loss to Dieruff, the Crimson Tide ran up a string of nine successive victories, the longest in the school's history. Single wins were posted over Tamaqua, newest entry to the East Penn League; Dieruff, Allentown Central Catholic, and William Allen, while Hazleton was defeated in two games.
