PHOTO: Garaway Pirates With A Nice Habit - Garaway's Saturday night co-captains, Bob Raber (left) and Tom Andreas, continue something that has become a habit for the Pirates this season -- that of winning trophies. They were presented the Sectional Co-Championship Trophy (with Hiland) by County Supt. W. E. Laws, tournament manager, following a 61-46 victory over Killbuck.*

Basketball Inc. - Garaway - a company headed by Jim Stull, with Koran Zehnder, Charles Stingel, Tom Andreas, Jim Gerber and Bob Raber as chief members of the board of directors, today carried the hopes of all Tuscarawas County into District Tournament play. The Pirates (21-1) put on a scoring rush in the final minutes of their game with Killbuck (16-7) Saturday night to defeat the Holmes County quintet. Wednesday night at 9 the "company" hopes to increase its assets one more notch. It meets Tiltonsville in the District Class "A" Tournament at Brilliant. Hiland earned the other District berth Friday night when it defeated Dennison St. Mary's 56-52. It will tangle with the rugged Jewell Wildcats Wednesday at 7:30. Victories by both the Pirates and Hawks would put them opposite each other for the third time this season. Hiland earned a 60-56 overtime decision in the first meeting, while the Pirates later avenged the defeat with a 57-52 triumph.

Saturday night Garaway was not impressive -- at least not as much as it had been during the regular season when it ran roughshod over 17 opponents. In increasing their season record to 21 victories as against the lone loss to Hiland, the Pirates connected only 23 times in 77 attempts from the field for a 29.9 percent mark. In all fairness it could undoubtedly be attributed to their week long layoff since winning the Tuscarawas County Class "A" Tournament title, and the small Memorial Hall floor. Used to the wide open spaces of their home court the Pirates never really got an opportunity to stretch their legs. They did; however, get their fast break moving in the final 4 minutes of the contest to turn a close game into something of a romp. Prior to that the score had been tied 3 times and 7 points had been the greatest lead by the Pirates. Killbuck led momentarily when it went on top 32-31 with 1:17 remaining in the third quarter. The score stood 45-44, with the Pirates ahead, when they finally turned on the steam. In the last 4 minutes they outscored the Bucks 16-2 to nab the title. Killbuck's scoring ace, Jerry Allison, injured his ankle with slightly more than a minute to play, but by that time the Pirates were out of reach. Turning in a splendid performance and playing the remainder of the game on the bum ankle. Allison poured in 29 points and was the only Buck in double figures. Tom Andreas was the "man of the hour" for Garaway. In the first period he scored 8 of the Bucs' 12 points and continued his fine play, despite being dealt his fourth personal early in the final quarter. He topped the Pirate scoring with 22 points. Center Charles Stingel came through with 14 and guard Bob Raber added 12. Koran Zehnder, the Pirates' leading pointman this season, and second in the county, was held to his low of the season when he scored only 9 points as the Bucks did a good job defensively. His previous low was 12 against Gnadenhutten in the second meeting of the 2 teams. Killbuck was worse off than Garaway in the percentage department. It made only 18 of 66 goal attempts for 27.2 percent. Garaway added 15 of 22 foul shots and the Bucks 10 of 16.
