SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1976 THE DAILY COURIER, CONNELLSVILLE, PA. PAGE SEVEN Basketball Sweeps for Connellsville, Geibel CANS' Fourth Quarter Push Offsets Earlier Spurt by Churchill It was one of those nights when you didn't realize what was going on until it was all over, and you had a chance to sit back' and look at the figures. Connellsville was on its way to a 75-65 win over visiting Churchill, and both sides were having hot and cold streaks along the way. There were a few anxious moments in the third quarter when it looked like the Falcons might fritter away their big lead, and in fact they did see it drop down to six points at one stage. Again, in the fourth quarter, the Chargers made like their name and cut the home team lead down to seven points.

Then the Falcons moved out again, and finally came out on top by 10. The win left Coach Jim Sherbondy's charges with a 7-1 record, heading into three successive big tests for them, starting next Tuesday when they go to South Hills Catholic, followed by Section Six dates with Uniontown and laurel Highlands. This was also the third win in a row for the Falcons, who now have enjoyed spurts of four and three wins', around a solo loss to Latrobe. Ironically, the only win for Churchill, now 1-7, was over Latrobe, in overtime; on a last shot at the final buzzer. But the fact the Falcons- won the game wasn't as important as how they won it "Team effort" is an overworked cliche, one employed tc nauseum by the coaching fraternity.

But it has to be applied here. For instance, Dayne Kovack didn't score a point but he still had a hand in 22 of those the Falcons did score. He had 11 scoring assists to his teammates, and caught a couple of rebounds. Chris Fiano had his best all-around night of the season, and wound up being responsible for 30 points. The tall junior center scored 20 points, and had five scoring passes, to help get 10 more, plus pulling in 10 rebounds.

Far and away his best overall night of the season. Jeff McCarthy, continuing his role as the Falcon Fireman, got 14 points (eight of them to help spark the pull away in the second quarter), and passed off for four more goals. Dave Baker and Sheldon Fox came uff the bench to get four and three scoring passes, in that order. Bill Coleman and Guy Ricks helped get the Falcon offense rolling at the start, before Ricks ran into foul trouble in the first half and had to go out for a while. Bob Baker wound up with a team high 29 points, 13 of them in the fourth when the Falcons were putting the clamps on the win.

George Ellis led Churchill scoring with a game high of 30, with 11 coming in the third quarter when the Chargers made their big flurry to cut into the home lead. Jim Fiumara Early Drive Steers Uniontown Past Cal Uniontown moved out early and made that opening edge stand the rest of the way to rout California, 80-64, in the Raiders' final exhibition basketball game before opening Section Six competition next week. Coach Abe Everhart's Raiders, now 5-6, led 26-7 at the start, 40-22 at the half, and 60-36 going into the fourth, where both had 24. Uniontown ran 16 points at the start and led 20-2 before the visiting Trojans (now 4-4) recovered. Mike Pratt had 18, George Mullen 16, Mark Hozak 14, and Kevin Mildren 10 for the Raiders.

Jay Papini and John Tyler scored 16 and Corey Johnson 15 for California. German59CharUersHouston57 Brentwood 53 SO Valley60 scored 16 points and had six assists, while Greg Calabria swished nine points of his own and passed off for five goals. Connellsville never trailed in the game, from the time Ricks opened scoring with a pass from Fiano, until Bob Baker closed it with a pass from Kovack. Churchill didn't even gain a tie, as Connellsville led by anywhere from two to 17 points (34-17 in the second). The Falcons raced away to an 18-12 quarter lead, extended that to 325 at the half, and had a 52-43 margin going into the fourth.

The issue was settled rather quickly. Ricks and Baker scored with passes from Fiano to open the game, Calabria put Churchill on the board at 6:19, then Fiano got a tapin and Ricks put up a recovery to put the Falcons out front 8-2. Churchill would cut that margin to two points, 8-6 and 10-8, then it was three, 12-9, before Coleman scored with Kovack's pass, then Fiano and Coleman put up rebounds, for an 18-9 lead, and the Falcons were on their way. CAHS had an 18-13 lead early in the fourth, then outscored Churchill 16-4 over the next four minutes. Fiano and B.

Baker scored with passes from D. Baker, and McCarthy fed to B. Baker for another shot, making it 24-13, before Ellis scored for Churchill. McCarthy and Fiano connected with Fox passes, before Fiumara hit from the top of the key, then McCarthy scored twice and Fiano once (Fox pass), as the Falcons doubled their lead to 34-17. The edge was 38-25 to close the half, and it went to 42-25 as the third quarter opened, when McCarthy and B.

Baker scored with Coleman and Kovack feeds. Then Churchill hit its hottest spurt of the night, and CAHS ran into some erratic moments at the same time. The Falcons committed four turnovers here as the Chargers raced for 11 points. Ellis put up his own rebound, Fiumara from underneath, Ellis in front, Fiumara a layin when CH stole the ball out of a press, and Ellis again when another pressing steal was made. Ellis was fouled as he scored, and made it a three-point play to complete the 11-point chain, cutting the Falcon lead from 17 points down to six, 42-36.

Before the third quarter was over, Churchill would lead 18-14 and Ellis would have 11 of them (5-1). But CAHS maintained its lead, 52-43; going into the fourth. Churchill would get within seven points in the fourth, at 5447, 56-19, and 58-51, but no closer. Ellis led Churchill in this span with a 4-2 card. Fiumara and Jeff Snodgrass had two goals each, and Mark Fogal one.

CAHS' 23 included 13 by Baker (6-1), Fiano's four baskets, and a shot by McCarthy. If anything at all displeased Coach Sherbondy, it was the 24 turnovers committed by the Falcons, their- worst night of the season for bobbles. Churchill gave up the ball 19 times without getting a shot away. For the third game in a row, Connellsville had a well officiated game, this one a good effort turned in by Walt Gossic and Bill Tkach.

He was an outstanding blocker.

Grauer, 6-0, 260, senior from Newport, R.I., was the Big Green's only four-year letterman last season and he enjoyed a fine career as a standout on the offensive line. Grauer was a first team All- NAIA District 18 choice.

Coach Tom Dolde's Falcons have been idle since decisioning Greensburg-Salem back on December 20, in their only dual home to meet start of the season. Tuesday finished 4-9-1, including a 35-23 loss to Connellsville. The Spartans stand 3-1 so far, with their only loss being to perennial WPIAL powerhouse Shaler, 24-20.

The Spartans victories include Churchill 37-23 and Gateway, 51-3. Following tonight's bouts (JV at the Falcons return take on Norwin night, their first Geibel High's basketball team picked up in the new year where they left off in the old one. After a two weeks break for the holidays, the Gators returned to action last night, and outlasted Mount Pleasant, 68-61, in an exhibition battle at the Geibel court. This not only gave Geibel a sweep of the season's home-and-home series between the two long-time rivals, it also marked the second time the game had gone to the wire before being decided. Back on December 19, they played at Mount Pleasant, and MPHS led through three quarters, only to see that lead go by the boards when Geibel rallied in the fourth and pulled out a 73-68 win.

The victory left Coach Ken Misiak's charges with a 4-2 record going into the start of their WPIAL Section schedule next week, while Mount Pleasant stands 1-10 with half of its schedule completed. Coach Sam Grubich's Vikings will be idle until January 9 when they open Section Six competition at Highlands. Statistically, the game was decided in the first quarter. Geibel took an 18-11 lead at the start, then they played all even over the next three, each scoring 50 points, on identical 20-10-20 cards over the next three periods. That left Geibel ahead at the half 38-31, and 4841 going into the fourth.

Mark Brooks led the Gators with 20 points, Mike Smarto added 18, and Rick Quinn 10. Vaun Snebeck scored 20 for Mount Pleasant, and tied Brooks for game high scoring honors. Tom Balcerek was right behind with 19, and Mark Lambert had 12. Brooks led Geibel's opening surge with four goals, Ron McKlveen had two, and Smarto, Dennis Martin, and Quinn one each. Mount Pleasant counted two goals by Rich Pocratsky, one by Balcerek and Lambert, and a 1-1 card by Shebeck.

Brooks swished four more goals in the second, with Quinn adding three, Smarto two, and McKlveen one. Lambert had six (2-2), Balcerek a 2-1 card, Shebeck five (1-3), Scott Jendras two on the line, and Dennis Cutrell a goal, to account for Mount Pleasant's scoring. Both ran into scoring doldrums in the third, netting 10 each. Smarto had a goal and two on the line, and Brooks, McKlveen, and Quinn a goal each for Geibel. For MPHS, Balcerek hit two goals, Shebeck a 1-2 card, and Lambert a basket.

The tempo picked up in the fourth, with each hitting 20. For Geibel, Smarto was high with eight (3-2), Martin had three baskets, Brooks one, and Bill Finley a 1-2 combine. Mount Pleasant counted four goals each by Shebeck and Balcerek, one by Cutrell, and two fouls by Lambert. In the preliminary, Coach Bob Fedorko's Gator reserves made it a sweep for the night, and at the same time reversed one of the losses on their record, by rolling to a 6346 win. This left the Gators with a 4-2 chart, one of those losses being 41-37 to the Vikings two weeks ago.

The win was the third, against two for the Scotties, who return to action next Wednesday in a road match at Belle Vemon. Two forfeits, three pins, and a decision started the Scots toward their win; giving them a 36-0 lead. Denny Yoder (91) and Mike Lehman (112) scored their wins the easy way--via forfeits-while Scott Funk (98), Ron Wildey (105), and Daymond Schmuck (132) planked their opponents. Wildey and Schmuck didn't waste any time putting their wins in the book, scoring at 42 and 40 seconds, respectively, in the first quarter. Tim Fretts picked up a decision at 119 to complete the opening winning chain- seven bouts--by the home team.

Southmoreland scoring was completed when Bill Gower got a decision at 18S, and Walt Hough put his opponent on the mat at 1:40 of the first period. The evening turned out to be a sweep for the Scots, when Coach Howard Stock's reserves won the preliminaries, 20-3. This was the fifth win in a row for the still unbeaten Scotties. Again, a chain of wins at the start got the home team off to its win.

Melvin Rupp (119) and Dave Grimm (132) scored decisions, around a first period pin by Mike Smith (126), to put the Scots out front to stay, 14-0, before German got its only win, Sichko's decision at 155. A third period pin by Jeff Pfoutz wound up Southmoreland scoring. The results: 27 at the stops, closing with a 2119 eadge in the fourth.
