Jeff Recchiuti of Dover St. Joseph's may be getting in a little foul trouble here, leaning over Garaway's Don Richardson in a duel for possession of the basketball.
Garaway's Kim Sedwick (41) is attempting to get off a shot after grabbing a rebound in this action from last night's game against Dover St. Joseph's. Teammate Don Richardson tries to give a helping hand, while interested in stopping Sedwick's effort are Denny Capezella (30) and Mark Nelson (40) of St. Joseph. Rich Richardson (25) of Garaway and Jeff Recchiusti of the Ramblers are "spectators."
DOVER - A battling band of Dover St. Joseph's Ramblers (1-12) took Garaway's once...defeated Pirates(13-1) right down to the final seconds last night before succumbing 58-50. St. Joseph's sparked by Senior forward Denny Capozella, had the Bucs on the ropes throughout the entire 1st half. Capozella, who ended with 26 points, pumped in 16 of them during the opening 2 stanzas, including 10 in the 1st quarter.
Meanwhile, St. Joseph's defense was greeting the Bucs at midcourt. It caused the invaders a heap of trouble and as a result threw their offense off kilter. Garaway missed at least a half doen bunnies and made but 6 of 28 field goal attempts in those 2 quarters. That, plus Capozella's hot hand, led the Ramblers to spurt to leads of 9-2 and 13-4 at the outset before the initial canto ended 13-8, favor of St. Joseph. Garaway closed the gap to 13-12 in the 2nd as St. Joseph's didn't connect on its 1st goal of the quarter until 5:05 remained when Capozella swished a jumper.
St. Joseph's maintained the upper hand until 5:59 of the 3rd quarter. Pirate Don Richardson boosted the Bucs into the lead at 30-29 with a 3-point play, a goal and free throw, after being fouled by Rambler Dave Myers. It was the 1st time Garaway led. The score was knotted at 30-30 before Sophomore pivot man Kim Sedwick connected on both ends of a 2-shot foul, putting Garaway ahead for keeps. Despite forging to 5 and 6 point margins on several occasions Garaway couldn't wrap up the verdict until the last seconds. Behind 53-46 with slightly more than a minute to play, St. Joseph's trimmed the Garaway margin to 2 points, 52-50, as Capozella hit a jumper and followed it with a pair of free throws after Don Richardson incurred his 5th personal of the game. That came with 36 seconds left to play.
But with Garaway maintaining possession, St. Joseph was forced to foul in an attempt to get the ball. Ray Hisrich, a 5-5 Junior, started the foul line parade for Garaway, hitting the 1st of a one-and-one to put the Bucs up to all but ice the verdict. Just to assure it; however, Mike Gerber made both ends of a one-and-one and Hisrich duplicated the performance shortly thereafter. Leading Pirate scoring were Tim Miller and Kim Sedwick with 15 and 13 points.
St. Joseph's, which dropped in 20 of 25 free throws in defeating Kidron Christian last Friday night, had its troubles at the charity line this time, making but 10 of 24. Garaway, on the other hand, fired in 26 of 38 which accounted for its victory margin. It had only 16 goals, while the Ramblers made 20. The Ramblers fielders came in 60 attempts for 33.3 percent, while Garaway counted its total in 58 tries for 31.1 percent, a far cry from the 50-plus percentage it recorded in defeating Newcomerstown last Saturday night.
Garaway Reserves (11-2) dropped the Dover St. Joseph's Reserves 31-20.
