Gale Sauser, Stone Creek's high-scoring star drives under the basket for 2 more points.  Teammate Larry Stephan (right) watches in anticipation of grabbing the rebound.  Needless to say, Sauser didn't miss.

DENNISON - It was evident from the beginning that Garaway (17-4) had only to name its final score and then go get it.  Stone Creek (5-16) simply did not have the manpower to cope with the powerful Pirate attack.  The Panthers put on a strong show in the first period and were behind only 15-13 late in the stanza.  But that was the closest they ever got to Garaway.  Dan Bleininger cashed in on 2 free throws for the Bucs.  Bob Raber followed with 2 of the same, and Jarret Gray got a tip in  to give Garaway a 21-13 lead at the first stop.  From then on Garaway piled up the lead, posting a 44-30 margin at halftime.  Buc Coach Glenn Bower began substituting in the third quarter, but it didn't stem the attack.  Garaway led 68-42 going into the final period.  Bob Raber and Tom Andreas, Senior veterans, provided the big punch.  Raber tallied 29 points, and Andreas, who fouled out with 5:51 remaining in the game, hit for 26.  Gray followed with 14.  Stone Creek's Gale Sauser ended his high school career by scoring 26 points.  He fouled out with 4:33 to play.  Sauser had been the leading scorer in the Class "A" League this season.  Cliff Endlich was the only other Panther in double figures, scoring  13 points.  "They all played a fine game.  There's not too much you can say when you win  by 30 points," Garaway Coach Bower said.  "Just too many "horses" for us" was remarked by Ken Lawhun, Panther Coach.  Garaway hit 33 goals in 76 tries for 43.4 percent, the best mark of the night among the 6 teams.  The Pirates added 28 foul shots in 41 attempts.  Stone Creek was limited to 46 field attempts, making 14 for 30.5 percent.  It meshed 34 of 41 foul shots.
