The Blue Jays hit the trifecta in 1955-56 winning the County Baseball championship in the fall, the County  Sectional, and Regional basketball championships in the winter, and County track championship in the spring.  They were led by Montgomery County's Outstanding senior athlete, Richard Haffner, pictured below.  Richard was the leading pitcher and leading hitter in baseball, the leading scorer and leading rebounder in basketball, and won the 880 in track.  He certainly was the best athlete in the County that year.

Max Barnett was the assistant to several varsity coaches and was an outstanding teacher of fundamentals to the younger players.
