THE CURTAIN WILL close on the regular basketball season for most Class A teams in the county this week. Thus a check of season statistics is in order. Looking at the Class A figures we find Stone Creek's Rod Reinhart may be on his way to snaring the scoring championship of the county. "Hot Rod," although sometimes guarded by two or three foes, has hit the nets for 189 goals and 63 free throws for 441 points and an average of 24.5. Two other Class A players are over the 20-points-per-game mark. They are Gary Caviness of Tuscarawas and Russ Hobart of Midvale. Caviness has 132 goals and 42 fouls for 306 points and a mark of 20.4, while Hobart, who is a returnee from the Midvale team which made the trip to the state championship semi-finals last year, has a 20.2 average. He has tallied 142 times from the field and 56 times from the foul line. Representing Baltic in the top 10 is John Rice, who has scored 352 points for 18.8 per tilt. Ben Price, Tuscarawas Valley's star center, follows Rice with 239 points on 107 goals and 35 free throws for 17.7 per game. Tuscarawas, which along with Midvale are the only teams to have two representatives in the first 10. Tom Vesco (Tuscarawas) has a 16.9 average, while Ron Bradley of Gnadenhutten concludes the scoring race with 16.5.
