Four veterans form the nucleus of the 1958-1959 edition of the Garaway High Pirates basketball team. Leading the returning group this season is Junior center Charley Stingel who scorched the baskets for 317 points to gain a berth on the Daily Reporter's All-County elite 10 as a Sophomore last Spring. Koran Zehnder, who was the second highest scorer on the team as a Sopohomore last season, also returns along with Seniors Larry Yakley and Dean Burrell. Zehnder swished the nets for 231 points last season, while Yakley totaled 199. Burrell was one of the lower point gatherers on the team last season when he ended with only 61. Zehnder, 5-10, and Yakley 5-6, are guards, while Burrell, 6-1, is currently holding down one of the forward posts on the team which dropped a 73-72 decision to Baltic last Friday night in the season's opener. Rounding out the top six on the 11-man squad are Senior John Sigrist, 6-1, and Junior Jim Gerber 5-10 1/2. Fritz Mueller is the other Senior on the squad and is 6-1, while the other six-footer on the team is Tom Dennis a Junior. The other Junior is Gene Stevanus 5-10 1/2, while also battling for varsity berths are Sophomores Tom Andress, 5-11 1/2 and Bud Yakley, 5-4. In view of all the changes in the county's coaching structure this season, Pirate mentor Jim Stull, in his fourth season at the helm, is a veteran and rates second only to Midvale's Pete Hilliard in length of stay at a county school. The Pirates will be seeking to gain the win trail for the first time this season when they go in their second game Friday night at Fresno.
