Others with HC connections to enter the NE Hoops Hall of Fame this year are Ed Siudut who will enter as a Mass HS player (Everett) and Kevin Stacom who will enter as Division I player from Providence. I've always wondered why he transferred.Was he also frustrated with Jack Donahue or were there other reasons?
Stacom's last year at HC was the year before I got to HC and, as I recall from my older brother's reports, he had not been getting a lot of playing time. Senior Jack Adams was the top guard that year along with Bruce Grentz and Buddy Venne. Those two started at guard for us the next year. My belief was that Dave Gavitt at PC was the best coach in New England. Perhaps Kevin's departure came due to a lack of court time at HC and Gavitt's promise of a bigger role at PC after the departure of Ernie DiGregorio.
