A Powerhouse is Born

The 1991-92 team was a force to be reckoned with.

The 1992 Cougars began a remarkable run of hoop excellence in the 1990s when Conval qualified for four consecutive Final Four tournament appearances.

Coach Frank Davidson’s underclassmen-dominated team went 17-1 during the ’91-’92 regular season and rolled to the Class I (D2) championship game before being upset 58-51 in OT by Oyster River. The ’93 team also made it to the championship, the ’94 Cougars finally broke through and won it all, and the ’95 team lost a nail-biter in the semifinals to Oyster River.

In Conval’s great hoop history, 12 boys’ teams from 1974 to 2022 have reached the Final Four.
