Those housekeeping Hagerstown
High School Hubs moved a step
closer to an undefeated season on
Tuesday night, when they nosed out
Fort Hill High School Sentinels by
one point, to give them a seasons
record to date of Is wins without a
loss.
To say that the game was thriller
would be putting it mildly, for it
wound up with two of the most ex-
citing moments that have ever been
seen in any basketball game. With
less than twenty seconds remaining
and the Hubs behind by one point,
Reel, who has been playing whale
of a game at center, was fouled in
the act of shooting, which gave him
two free shots. With the Hagerstown
fans holding their breath, the lad
stepped to the foul line-and missed
both shots.
Then, as if that was not enough
excitement, the Hubs took the ball
after the second shot missed and ex-
actly two seconds later, this same
Reel hoped perfect field goal for
the two points that won the game
for the Hubs.
Hagerstown trailed 10 to at the
end of the first quarter and were
behind IS to 10 at the half. But they
came back strong in the third period,
which ended 38 to SO in their favor.
Then came the hair-raising fourth
quarter The final score was 46 to
As.
The basketball teams of st. Mary's
High School came through with a
double win on Friday, when the
Gaels won from ST. Johns of Fred
erick by a score of SO to 38 and the
Gaelettes took the measure of the
Westminster Girls by a score of
Sc to IS.
In the boys game, Coach Father
Dausch cleaned the bench before
the game was over, with all II men
on the squad getting into the game
and everyone of them scoring at
least one point.
In the girls game, all the scoring
was done by three of the girls,
Smith IA points,, Cassidy I'll
points, and Slate I'll points,.
The Gaels made it two straight on
Tuesday afternoon at the armory
when, in really tight game, they
took a 43 to AZ decision over their
old rivals, st. Joseph's, of Emmits-
burg.
The Gaels had a 5-point lead at
the end of the half and increased it
to IA points at the end of the third
period, when the score stood at 81
to 26 in their favor. But st. Joseph's
put on tremendous rally in the
final quarter, scoring 10 points while
holding ST. Mary's to 6, and every
member of the Gaels squad, includ-
ing Coach Father Dausch, drew a
deep breath when the final whistle
blew with the Gaels in front by one
lone point.
Hellane, with IA points, and Fore
man, with 13, were the high scorers
for St. Mary's, while Sprangle, the
fast stepping guard of st. Joseph's,
came through with Is points.
The Gaelettes, however, bowed to
the girls from St. Joseph's, the final
score being 81 to 81. The Gae1ettes
pulled to within one point of their
rivals at the end of the half, but that
was as close as they got.
Smith, with II points, and Slate,
with Is, scored all but one of St.
Mary's total, while Law, with II
points, and Rosenstell, with IA, were
tops for st. Joseph's.
