1976 Team

1976hoops/1976roster.jpg

The 1975-76 Portville Boys Basketball team had the highest winning percentage of any squad in Panther history with a 20-1 record.

They won 20 games in a row before falling to Maple Grove in the Section 6 Class CC championship. They were the first and only PCS team to be undefeated during the regular season.

The '76 hoopsters had the best offense in the Big 30 that year, averaging 75.3 points per game. They also had the top defense, giving up only 42.8 per game, an incredible 32.5 differential.

1976 Score Book

The'76 Panthers were led by senior center Jeff Nix, who averaged 23.8 points a game. He scored a school record 46 points against Ellicottville, which still stands. He finished his 4-year varsity career with 942 points (#5 PCS all-time) in 65 games.

Senior guard Tom Yanetsko averaged 15.7 points per game that season, scoring 31 against Cattaraugus. Tom finished his varsity career with 62 games and 649 points (#18 PCS all-time).

Senior shooting guard Tim Yanetsko averaged 11 per game, scoring a high of 23 against Ellicottville. Huge contributions came from seniors Tim Hinman, Fred Caya, and Dick Larson, as well as from junior C/F Ray Auman.

The Panthers perfected head coach Ray De Land's system and annihilated the opposition with their passing, rebounding, shooting, and shut-down defense.

Coach De Land installed base plays that went by names like "Villanova", "Bonas", and of course, "Portville". After mesmerizing the opponents with their precision passing, they would find a hole in the defense and strike with an open shot from any point on the court.

The home and away gyms were packed with fans, spectators, and media members from all over the region, who came to watch one of the greatest teams in Big 30 basketball history.

The 1976 seniors graduated with a 3-year varsity record of 54-10, second only to the 1999-2001 teams that went 59-9 under Ron McMahon.
