BOWERSTON - Garaway (1-0) surprised a lot of people, including many of its most faithful followers, here Saturday night. Head Coach Glenn Bower, fielding a combination of 3 Sophomores, a Junior and a Senior, saw his charges turn in a romp over Conotton Valley (0-1) in the season opener for both clubs. Bower was pleased with the Pirate performance and commented, "Even though our boys are real young, I thought they gave a real good account of themselves". The Pirates, who had 3 players score in double figures, committed only 8 turnovers, 6 of them in the 2nd half, while the hosts miscued on 25 occasions.
