GARAWAY - The Daily Reporter learned today that Garaway's board of educaton, in an "unofficial" 3 to 2 vote at a closed "executive session" during its regular meeting Monday night, called for the resignation of Head Basketball Coach Glen Bower.
Bower reportedly was given until June 8 to resign. The 1949 Dover High School graduate has held 2 coaching stints at Garaway, the 1st covering the 1960-61 and 1961-62 seasons. In 1961, Bower's teams had a 21-5 record, losing in the District finals. Bower left Garaway for a 2-year stint (1962-1964) at Dennison St. Mary's where he served as head basketball and football coach. In 1962 the Blue Waves were 21-0 in basketball before losing in the District. He returned to Garaway in 1964 and was named athletic director last year.
Reports that Bower would leave the Garaway system have persisted since the conclusion of the basketball season. Bower would not make any comitment this morning.
