In 1935 Warren High School’s
baseball team finished as Class B runners-up. And third baseman
Paul Sevigny received All Class B honors.

In football Paul was the single
wing signal caller for the then-Red Raiders, who captured the Class C Championship while
limiting their regular season opponents to only twelve points. The only "serious" blot
on Paul’s gridiron record came when Coach Jim McGeough announced that he had
“missed practice because he ran home to hear Jack Armstrong All American Boy on the
radio.”

During the following spring,
Paul, Duke Abbruzzi, and Donat Brochu led the high school to the Class
C Baseball Championship. They then downed Class B West Warwick
before losing to Cranston in the state finals.
With Paul homering in games
against Colt Memorial, Cumberland, and Providence Trade, he received a number of positive press
comments: “turned in a fine performance in the field”; “swung a potent
bat all afternoon”; “sensational
fielding”; “Paulie Sevigny at third has the makings of a really great player”; “sparkling play probably
saved the day”; and “starred at the hot corner.”
At the end of the season he was
named both second team All State and first team All Class C third baseman.
Following high school he played
on the Warren teams that won the 1936, 1938, and 1939 Little World
Series, served as the Lettermen’s
(W) Club vice president, and helped his Bristol Twilight League 1940
team finish as league runners-up.
Later in life Paul was active in
the St. Mary’s Golf League as both an officer and a player. |
