Newark Stories: Charles Tally

John O'Boyle

In honor of Newark, New Jersey​'s 350th Anniversary, we’re bringing you Newark Stories — voices from unheard Newarkers, from the Ironbound to Weequahic to University Heights.

Here we revisit the glory days at Weequahic High School​ in 1966 and 1967.

68-year old Charles Tally was on the boys’s basketball team that won back to back state championships, the first time ever for a Newark high school.
