Prep Saves Its Best tor Last Lynett Test battled the Eagles on even terms through the first quarter before breaking away with a 23 point second period to leave the scrappy charges of Central coach Bob Gilbnde in the proverbial dust In the consolation game, Nanticoke moved into a one-point lead at the end of the first quarter and were never headed as they downed the Vikings of Riverside, 60-50, for a third place finish in the 22nd annual tourney. The Times Trophy, representing the championship of the lynett Tournament, was awarded to Scranton Prep head coach Jack Farrell in a By JAMES HINNIGAN Time Staff Writar Thera's 1 lot to be said for that old cliche about "all things in moderation At least the Cavaliers of Scranton Prep think so, and they pioved it Friday night when they unleashed a deadly scoring attack to deprive the Scranton Central Golden Eagles of an unprecedented fifth Lynett Invitational Basketball Tournament crown before some 3.000 fans at the Catholic Youth Center The Prepsters, looking for all the world like the power in the Catholic Basketball League if not the entire area. ceremony following the final game The title win by Prep was the Cavaliers' fourth in Lyn-etl Tournament competition, and left them tied with Central and Nanticoke as the only team ever to cop the tourney four times While the Cavaliers were all for moderation as far as the Golden Eagles were con-c 0 they had other thoughts about scoring points on their own side of the ledger, and big Chris Fedele led the charge with a 31 point performance Fedele, a 6'2" senior center who also was outstanding in Timlin and Clark hit for successive buckets at the outset of the second period, it marked the beginning of the end for the Golden Eagles The Cavaliers used the scoring of Timlin and Grady to move out to an 11 point lead at 30 19 with about two minutes remaining in the second quaiter, and two quick buckets by Fedele the closing minute gave the Prepsters a comfortable 36 22 cushion at the end of the half. Even a Central press early in the third quarter a takeoff on the Cavalier press which helped it to its win over Riverside failed to Prep's opening round win over Riverside, put 00 a virtual one man show with 14 field goals from just about every section of the court as he scaled the magical 30 point plateau That total placed him well ahead of his opposite number. Central Joe Remmett, who was held to eight points in a game which had been looked upon as a "battle of the big men In fact, both Prep coach Farrell and Central coach Gilbride had forecast Wednesday night that the team which was able to control the boards and the tempo of the contest would emerge the winner.

As it turned out, Prep never did play the running game that it prefers, but the shooting of Fedele and Brian Clark, who scored 14 points, more than made up for the divergence from the game plan The two teams fought head to head through the first period, with Central holding the lead until midway through the stanza when Prep finally took the lead at 8 7. A jump shot by Pat Grady at the buzzer moved the game to 13-13 tie at the end of the quarter, aod when Bill at halftime only four down, at 34 30 Nanticoke almost broke the game open in the third period, when a flurry of pouts bv little Jim Dougherty pushed the Trojans to an eight point margin, and the Trojans built upon that edge 111 the fourth stanza, when they upped their bulge to 16 (Hunts But the Vikings C3me storming back in the last three minutes of play, and at one point cut the margin to six 56 50 before running out of steam in the dosing seconds In those final minutes, only a number of missed shots by the Vikings kept them from catching the Trojans, and even a pair of steals by Ott and Mike Morgan and two Nanticoke turnovers were not enough to give Riverside the margin for victory.

The Prep win runs the Cavaliers pre-season record 1 0 94), and marks the Prepsters as the team to beat in the Cathobc League circuit. The Nanticoke Trojans apparently had some ideas of their own about moderation, and put together a balanced offense to dump the young Vikings of Riverside for the third place elot. Nanticoke won its game on the foul line, converting 14 of 18 to only four-of-mne for Riverside for its 10-point victory margin.

In spite of the final score, the game was a thriller right down to the closing minutes, and the Vikings were still within reach of the Trojans as late as midway through the fourth quarter. The battle was touch and go through the opening stanza, with each team gaining the lead twice and landing on ties five times. But a field goal by big Rick Kmietowicz at the end of the quarter and another at the outset of the second period put the Vikings behind for good In the opening minutes of the second quarter the Trojans established themselves with a nine-point spree which left the Vikings on the short end of a 24-16 score, and the Vikes were forced to play catch-up ball.
