NEW PHILADELPHIA - Hustle and good shooting provided big dividends for Coach Aaron Miller's Tuscarawas Broncos (9-10). Playing without the services of 6-2 regular Russ McGlothlin, an All-County selection this season, the Broncos got far fewer action shots than Joe Richards' Pirates (8-13), but made them count, hitting on 18 for a fine 41.8 percent. (McGlothlin received a sprained ankle in practice early in the week and will be out of action for the rest of the campaign.) Tuscarawas actually won at the foul lines, sinking 23 of 38 to only 13 of 31 for Garaway. The Pirates took 78 action flings, but made just 22 for a weak 28.2 percent. Garaway took a narrow 15-14 lead at the initial stop, but Tuscarawas went ahead 28-26 at the half and held on to a slim 38-37 advantage after 3 halts. After the 2 teams exchanged buckets for the first 4 minutes of the final frame, Garaway, with the score tied 44-all, racked up 2 quick baskets to take a 48-44 cushion. Tuscarawas wasn't to be outdone, using a clinging defense and a fast break to mark up 10 straight points to vault into a seemingly comfortable 54-48 cushion with only 1:56 left to be played. Bob Romig, Fred Burmich and Phil Caldwell led the surge. Geof Stevanus then took charge for Garaway, sinking a fielder and 2 free tosses to cut the deficit to 54-52. Substitute Bill Richardson then gave his club new life with a 2-pointer, sending the game into an extra 3 minutes of action. Caldwell hit twice from the foul line to start the overtime session and then Burmich connected on a field goal, giving Tuscarawas a 58-54 margin. Ed Mueller canned a free toss for Garaway and then, after Caldwell again popped in a foul try, Don Deetz drilled home a deuce to cut the deficit to 2 points, 59-57. Eight seconds were left when Deetz took the ball out of bounds after a timeout. After getting the ball back again, Deetz misssed from the corner. The gun sounded, but, a foul was called against the Broncos, Garaway's Mueller going to the line with a one-and-one situation. He missed. Phil Caldwell lead Tuscarawas and picked up game honors by dropping in 23 points. Fred Burmich followed with 15. For Garaway, Don Deetz fired in 15 points with Goef Stevanus and John Spear following with 12 and 10 respectiveley.
