CLASS OF 1950
Coached by three Lowell High School Hall of Fame members, Brian
Reynolds obviously learned his lessons effectively, winning all-scholastic honors in
football (under Ray Riddick), track (under George "Mike" Haggerty), and baseball
(under Stan Stoklosa).
On the gridiron, Brian was a mainstay on the Ray Riddick powerhouses
from 1947-1949. As a senior fullback he totaled 102 points, including a memorable 3
touchdown performance against Lawrence in the famous 55-0 Thanksgiving Day victory over
the Lancers. Lowell later capped an undefeated Eastern Mass. Class A Championship with a
victory in the Gator Bowl.
As a member of the track team, Brian was a standout high jumper!
hurdler. His school record of 61" in the high jump stood for 39 years.
In the Spring Brian focused his talents on baseball, serving as Captain
of the Red & Gray nine as an outfielder/shortstop. He also hit over .400 as a member
of Lowells American Legion Baseball unit.
After graduation Brian attended Harvard University, graduating in the
Class of 1954. He continued an outstanding athletic career as a varsity letter winner in
both football and track.
