Barry McGrath (1998) - Varsity Club Hall of Fame

Barry McGrath

After years of regional success, McGrath was an integral part of taking BC to national prominence on a team that was the first to participate in the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
Was also part of an outstanding freshman team that compiled an 18-1 record in 1955-56.
Was a scholarship player from St. John's High School in Worcester; as a 6-6 center on a small club, the rebounding responsibility was his, as well as most tough defensive assignments.
Team members credit him for making the entire team better with his hard work ethic, his sincerity, and his dedication to teamwork.
Inducted into the Boston College Varsity Club Athletic Hall of Fame in 1998.
