| Title: | Class of 1989 |
George Albro, athletics have played a major role in your life
and you, in turn, have played a major role in the lives of many
young athletes as a coach. You were a fierce competitor as a
player, a trait which has not diminished throughout your coaching
career.
You were a team leader at point guard during your career at
Worcester State, handing out a record number of assists as well as
scoring 648 points from 1961 through 1965. You led the team in
assists for four straight years.
You were a key starter for the 1961-62 Worcester State team that
won the New England State College Championship and finished with a
16-7 record. Your leadership and determination resulted in you
being selected Co-Captain of the basketball team your senior year
and you also served as an officer in the Men's Athletic Association
for two years. In addition to your basketball achievements you also
earned two varsity letters in baseball.
You continue to serve Worcester State College as treasurer of the
Worcester State Alumni Board of Directors and a member of the
Athletic Hall of Fame selection committee. You served Worcester
State as assistant men's basketball coach for five years and as
head coach from 1979 through 1982.
You have coached baseball at Leicester High School and your team
has won the Southern Worcester County Championships in 1986 and
1987. You are currently coaching basketball at Leicester and your
team won the Southern Worcester County League championship in 1987,
and you were selected as the District E Coach of the Year.
You are currently a teacher in the Leicester School System and your
continued dedication to your College and your students serve as an
example for all of us.
George Albro, it is with great pride that we induct you into the
Worcester State College Athletic Hall of Fame.
