Bulkeley earned the right to play in the final game for the New England Championship. In spite of their size, Bulkeley defeated this team, with Bazzano’s methodical give and go offense, and their precision four-corners offense.
Bulkeley played Ridgefield Tech in the semifinals at the Boston Garden in 1962, with two players who were 6’7” and one who was 6’8”. This team played three games on the parquet floor of the legendary Boston Garden. Jim was a forward/guard on the 1962 Basketball team, which reached the Connecticut State Tournament Finals and the New England Tournament Finals.
The 1962 basketball team is considered one of the best, if not the best, basketball team ever to play for the Hall of Fame coach Bazzano. In basketball he was selected for the New Haven Register All State second team. Jim was co-captain of the baseball and basketball teams in his senior year, attaining second team All Conference in both sports. Jim Belfiore played varsity for two BHS Hall of Fame coaches, Lou Bazzano in basketball and Babe Allen in baseball, earning four letters.
