Threatened by Deavertown and
fought to a standstill by Chester.
hill, Pennsville high school finally
loosed it's true cage prowess and
stepped over Stockport. 38 to %
last Saturday night to retain its SUI
premacy in Morgan county in the
final playoff Of the annual Morgan
county tournament featured by the
inspired play of underdOgs.
Coach Paul Burcher's lads in green
and white were unable to click with
the consistency that has marked
their games all season, until after
Chesterhill's semi-final challenge
fell two points short of it's objective.
In the first round Of play, Deaver-
towns highly charged quintet out
fought the champions for half but
could not maintain the pace and
crumpled, 80 to 20. Reese's expul-
sion from the fray for excessive per-
sonal fouling cost Deavertown its
lone chance to triumph. Stockport
bit off sizable chunk of Reiners-
vile plug in the second game. The
plug almost got the better of the
Windsor lads as Kincaid led des-
perate second half uprising that
dropped when Adrean enmeshed a
double decker with less than min
ute to play to give his team 20 to
% victory. Inability of Coach
Bunce's Reinersville team to cage
short shots brought about their
downfall.
In the second and semi-final
round, Chesterhill, off with the
whistle, outfought and outplayed
Pennsville for three quarters only
to see it's scant lead go glimmering
as the favored Penn team came back
in the final canto to score IL points
and exc out 21 to 10 win. Stock
port had no difficulty in subduing
Ringgold in the other bracket, 40
to %.
Stockport was unequal to the task
of matching strides with the cham
pions in the final game of the tour
nament as the green and white play
ed its best ball of the playoff series.
The junior tournament was won by
a tall Chesterhill aggregation that
swarmed over sharp shooting

1iminary to the Pennsville-Stockport
fray Chesterhill had beaten Rein
