MIGHTIES RACE...Two of the smallest men onthecourt at last night's Garaway-Dover St. Joseph's game stge a race and it's difficult to tell who was beating who at this point. With the ball is Garaway's Mike Gerber, while Rambler Mike Fragosse gives pursuit.
Battling for the ball during last night's Dover St. Joseph's-Garaway game were Jeff Recchiutti (35) of the Ramblers and Errol Miller (44) of the Pirates. Also in on the action were Jim Range (55) of St. Joseph's and Garaway's Kim Sedwick.
SUGARCREEK - The Garaway Pirates (2-0) put on a dazzling display of shooting last night and in the process spoiled Dover St. Joseph's (0-1) Head Coach Jim Antonelli's debut at the Rambler helm. The final score, after a close 1st half, turned out to be a rout. Antonelli's combine will try to get on the victory path tonight when it travels to Kidron Christian. Garaway will entertain Newcomerstown tonight.
At the game's outset it appeared that the contest was going to be a tight one. But, Garaway, led by Erroll Miller and small Sophomoe Mike Gerber, started popping the roundball through the hoop, while the Ramblers were hampered by fouls. Senior center Dave Myers and Sophomore Mike (Boots) Fragasse both got into real trouble, each having committed 3 fouls apiece in the 1st quarter. Junior Mark Nelson and Sophomore Jim Range were in trouble at halftime with 6 between them.
Actually, Garaway might have run away with the game early if it might had been able to cash in on its opportujnities at the foul line. The Pirates pulled out to a 12-point lead midway in the 2nd stanza, but Nelson got the Ramblers going again, coming within 5 of the Pirates at halftime. But, it was a different story in the 2nd half. Garaway came out a new ball club in the 2nd half, determined to run away with the game and did. With Sophomore center Kim Sedwick leading the parade, both scoring and rebounding, Garaway pulled out to a sizeable lead at the finish of the 3rd period.
Sedwick and Don Richardson controlled the boards throughout the game, with the final tally seeing Garaway pull down 36 caroms to St. Joe's 24. Don Richardson had 10 and Sedwick 9. Nelson led the Ramblers with seven. The Rams, obviously showing the jitters, committed 24 turnovers. Garaway potted 25 of 72 action shots for 34 percent, while the Ramblers could only find the range on 13 of 61 for a cold 22 percent. From the charity stripe, Garaway converted 18 of 34 and St. Joe 14 of 22.
The rout was started earlier when the Garaway Reserves (2-0) took control of the Dover St. Joseph Reserves (0-1) 57-21.
