DOVER - Four veterans form the nucleus of the 1958-59 edition of the Garaway Pirates Basketball Team. Leading the returning group this season is Junior center Chuck Stingel who scorched the baskets for 317 points to gain a berth on The Daily Reporter's All-County elite 10 as a Sophomore last spring.
Koran Zehnder, who was the 2nd highest scorer on the team as a Sophomore last season, also returns along with Seniors Larry Yakley and Dean Burrell. Zehnder swished the nets for 231 points last season, while Yakley totaled 199. Burrell was one of the lower point gathers on the team last season when he ended with only 61.
Zehnder, 5-10 and Yakley 5-6, is currently holding down one of the forward posts on the team which dropped a 73-72 decision to the Baltic Eagles last Friday night in the season's opener. Rounding out the top 6 on the 11-man squad are:
Senior John Sigrist 6-1
Junior Jim Gerber 5-11
Senior John Sigrist 6-1
Junior Jim Gerber 5-11
Fritz Mueller is the other Senior on the squad and is 6-1, while the other 6-footer on the team is Junior Tom Dannis. The other Junior is Gene Stevanus 5-11, while also battling for varsity berths are:
Sophomores:
Tom Andreas, 6-0
Bud Yakley 5-4.
In view of all the changes in the county's coaching structure this season, Pirate mentor Jim Stull, in his 4th season at the helm, is a veteran and rates 2nd only to the Midvale Blue Devils' Pete Hilliard in length of stay at a county school.
