Bronze Reporter [Volume: 7, Issue: 39]
By JIM BUTLER enemies meme Standing an averais of 6-5 and scoring at the collective rate of 121 points a game, the first five) - of the 196041 Coaches All-City League basketball team are Eastern~s Reggie Harding, Northwestern~s Larry Carpenter, Western~s Oliver Darden, Pershing~s Marcus Sanders and Chadsey~s Marvin Mitchell. For the purposes of a starting line-up, Sanders and Mitchell could easily be switched to the backcourt. Four of the five are seniors. Darden is a junior. An All-City and All State choice in 1959-60, 6-11 Reggie is called by -many the best players ever produced in, the Detroit area. Harding paced the Indians to their third consective East Side title this season. He averaged 31- points~with a high of 41~ and 20 rebounds a game. Carpenter was his club~s top rebounder and averaged 19 points a game. At 6-6 and 215. pounds, he does just about everything well. The fact that he didn~t score more for the West Side champions may be attributed to this lack of playing time and his hot-shooting running mates. The Colts had little opposition this year and thus Carpenter spent a good deal of time on the bench. Also, their other forwards, Willie Thomas and Stan Washington, averaged 17 and 15 points resvectively. Darden grabbed the other for- ward post in a tight fight with Seuthwestern~s sophomore flash, Cliff Williams. Darden. who stands 6-5, scored at a 23.1 clin displayed a fine variety of hooks drives and set shots. Sanders drew praise from almost all auarters despite the fact he played for a sub-par Pershing - five. An accurate outcourt shoot er, he averaged a shade under 30 points a game. In his best effort of the season Sanders tied Harding for scoring honors with 87 points as~ the Doughboys were swamped by Eastern. His low output was 23 points and he averaged about 12 rebounds a game. -. Marvin, a stlingy 6-2 and 170 pounds, closed his high school career with a flourish Wednesday. He. set a City League single game scoring mark for this season when he posted 49 points against Redford. That gave him a 30.2 average for the year~a ~major factor in the Explorers~ 11-' 1 record. * * * A Wayne State rally in the final 11 minutes fell one point shy Saturday night as the/ Tartars lost to Cass Tech, 62-61, at U-D Memorial. With seconds to go, Freddy Prime~the Tartars~ high scorer with 27 points~was covered and Randy Ziegler took the final shot. It missed and that was the ballgame. The loss was the Tartars~ 11th in 17.games this season, while the win gave Cass a 12-3 mark. Mike Doria was tops for the winners with 21 points. % % % John Bradley and Lawrence Tech. outlasted Bluffton Saturday night in a wide open scoring duel, 118-101. Bradley, the leading scorer among the nation~s small college teams racked up igoals by Park Richardson. Rich ee, ees 39 to top Phil Springer of Biutt- i ton, who had 34. The victory was No. 20 for the high-flying Technici; against~ only five defeats. Bluffton stands. 415 for the season. It was the lith ~win in a row for LIT. & = = Highland Park escaped an upset when Henry Harden,a junior forward, dropped throws with only four seconds of overtime play | left to give his team a 59.57 victory over Fordson. Along with that triumph, Coach Eldon Rouse~s squad assured itself of at least a tie for the Border Cities League title. It was Highland Park~s eight victory in nine league games. The Parkers must beat Royal Oak Dondero in its final league game next week to grab outright possession on the Border ~ Cities~ crown. While it was Harden~s free throws that gave Highland Park its final margin, the work of little Bobby Hill probably was most instrumental in the décision. Hill poured in 27 points on eight baskets and \11 free throws to nearly equalize the superb 31 -point effort by Fordson is Joe Hamood. Besides getting his vital free throws, Harden also picked up 11 other points to aid the Highland Park cause. George Crayton contributed 10 more. Ron Chandler, a sophomore guard, collected 18 points to follow Hamood in the Frodson scoring. % % ~ Unbeaten River Rouge lowered the boom on Hamtramck Friday night, wallopingythe Cosmos, 82 -41, to clinch its 10th Twin Valley Conference. basketball championship in 13 years. The. champs connected on 13 of 17 shots, including a string of eight field ardson led all the scoring with 20 voints. ~ Ecorse settled for second place in the race, notching its seventh victory against: two losses in a 70-62 edge: over Willow Run. Ecorse pulled away to its winning margin in the third period. George Peoples counted 16 points and Paul Tucker and Russ Michaelis 13 each. James Clinksdale~s 17 topped Willow Run. Four Champs Keep Golden Gloves~ Titles Four defending champions retained. titles in Golden Gloves finals before a full house Tuesday night at Graystone Ballroom. Headed back to Chicago~s Tournament of Champions next Monday and Tuesday are John Hall (126 pounds), John Kubinec (160), Billy Newsome (175), and heavyweight Edgar Boyd. Newsome scored the evening~s only knockout in the open class, putting the TKO to a Brewster Recreation teammate, Thomas Jefferson Smith, in 67 seconds of the second round. But Billy Newsome~s -brother, Sedell, didn~t fare as well. He lost to Windsor~s Ronald- Wilkes. 1958. champion, in the 147-pound finals.
