File:1976-77 BHS State Basketball Championship Coaches.jpeg

Summary

A triumphant return to Brunswick from Cole Field House after BHS won its only Maryland State Basketball Championship during the 1976-77 school year. Head Coach Bill Kubat, proudly holds the trophy. Assistant coach Bill Turney is on the far right. Frank Strakonsky is in the middle. Frank was an announcer and scorekeeper for the team that year. 

Coach Kubat had been a standout point guard in the early 1960s on what was generally considered the best team Brunswick High School had ever fielded up to that point. That took place in what was known as "The Ol' Crackerbox on High School Hill".

Troy Kemp Good group of players and coaches for my first year at BHS. I had the 7th-8th grade team that year, and had the privilege to be with the team often. One Bill was wild and bouncy, and the other cool and calm. Great memories.

Frank Strakonsky If my memory is correct, this was when the team returned to the school from Cole Field House. Those two men there were fantastic role models for the youth of Brunswick. Lovethose guys.

Linda Moss I was blessed to be on the bus of supporters from BHS who got to go to Cole Field House to cheer them on! I still remember the excitement that night!
