DOVER - Jeff Lammers and Denny Capozella sparked a 2nd half surge that carried Dover St. Joseph's to victory over Tuscarawas (6-6) Saturday night. Lammers came off the bench to toss in 14 points, 10 coming via the foul lines where the game was decided. Both teams made 22 field goals. Capozella ended with 16 points, 13 of them coming after the intermission. Pat Antonelli also came off the bench to pop in 7 key points.
St. Joseph's took a 17-14 lead at the 1st stop, but the 2 teams reversed point totals to go into the lockerrooms deadlocked 31-31. A rebound shot from the top of the key by Pat Antonelli at the buzzer enabled the Ramblers to pull even, 47-47, going into the final frame. Lammers then found the range for 2 field goals and 5 fouls and Capozella tossed in a pair of goals and a foul to lead the Ramblers "home."
Both teams were severely hampered by personal fouls, referees Bernie Cromi of Canton and Ray Kennedy of New Philadelphia calling 42 infractions, 23 against the Broncos. The Ramblers got in foul trouble early having 16 in the 1st half. The 2nd half found the Broncos picking up 15. St. Joseph's lost "quarterback" Mickey McCracken at 4:33 of the 3rd quarter when Tuscarawas was on top 37-33. He had 4 in the 2nd stanza. Teammate Dave Myers had 3 in the 2nd and picked up his 4th at 4:38 of the third. He didn't play from then on. Capozella was able to finish the game; although, being saddled with 4 personals in the 2nd period. Broncos John Bihari and Brent Lehigh both ended with 4, Bihari drawing his 4th at :05 of the 3rd quarter and Lehigh picking up his 4th at 6:55 of the fourth. Teammate Dave Paisley went out at 1:27 of the 4th after picking up his 4th at 3:11 of the third.
Paisley, who only Friday night tied the Tuscarawas single game point record with 42 in a 116-115 loss to Gnadenhutten, mustered just 11 points against the Ramblers. He made only 4 of 20 field goal tries. As a team, the Broncos were able to hit on 22 of 73 field goal attempts for a cool 30 percent. They sank 14 of 26 fouls. St. Joseph's also made 22 field goals, in 61 tries for a respectable 36 percent. It was 25 of 35 from the foul lines. Hustling Ray McWilliams paced the Bronco offensive, netting 17 points. Bihari got 15. Larry Smith rounded out the double figure performers for the Ramblers, tossing in 12 points, all but one coming before intermission. Smith was a big man under the boards, picking off 12 of St. Joseph's 36 rebounds. McWilliams got 16, Lehigh 11 and Bihari 10 as the Broncos grabbed a total of 49. St. Joseph's committed just 4 turnover, by far their best showing in this department all season. Tuscarawas lost the ball this way 13 times.
Art Teynor's Ramblers took a 5-2 lead after McWilliams opened the scoring off a rebound. It was back and forth until early in the 2nd stanza when the Ramblers hiked their advantage to 22-16. They still led, 27-21, when the Charles Etling-coached Broncos racked up 8 straight points to go in front 29-27 just before the end of the 1st half. Smith hit 2 quick buckets, but Paisley sneaked under for a goal with 7 seconds remaining to tie the count. That was his 1st field goal of the night. Paisley dropped in a 13-footer from the baseline early in the 3rd quarter and the Broncos opened up the pointy spread somewhat leading 39-34, 43-36 and 45-39 before the Ramblers began finding the range again. Lammers sank 2 fouls and after Butch Reed scored from the floor for Tuscarawas, Capozella cashed in on a 3-point play. Lammers made a foul and Antonelli came up with his shot at the buzzer to tie the score. Antonelli took a pass fom Capozella off the 4th quarter tip and drove in for 2 points to put St. Joseph's on top 49-47. After Paisley hit, Al Antonelli rebounded in a shot and then lmade it a 3-point play when he was fouled by Lehigh. St. Joseph's never trailed again, out scoring the visitors 13-3 to assume a 65-55 lead with 2:11 left in the game.St. Joseph's visits Zanesville Friday to tangle with Rosecrans. Tuscarawas visits Malvern Saturday.
