In a truly thrilling game that had fans sitting on the edge of their tfeats for the major part of the contest, the undefeated Beau fort Seadogs added Dover to thHr list of victims in winning the semi final game in district playoffs Kenansviile Friday night, 59-32. Playing against a foe that won 28 and lost but 2, the Seadogs did exceptionally well, especially when it is considered that Dover had the height advantage under the boards. Dover Leads Dover jumped out to a 4-0 ad vantage early in the first quarter before the Seadogs notched their first two-pointer on a push shot by Herb Mason at (J:35. Dover then extended their advantage to 8-2, before Pittman and Holland start ed hitting to knot the game at 8 at 4:55. The teams each hit for buckets and the score was tied once again at 10 at 3:30. Dover's big center put his team back in the lead at 3:08 when he converted one of two free throws, but a pair of set ihots by Monk Pittman put Beau Gchrmann Holland . . . all-state ? fort in the lead 14-11 with 50 sec onds left in the canto. White hit on a high arcing set shot with 27 seconds left and at the | end of the quarter Beaufort led, 1413. In the second quarter Holland started oft the scoring for Beau fort with a tap-in at 7:33 and Beau fort had extended their lead to 16 13. Davenport converted two of two from the free throw line and Wetherington hit on a hook shut and Beaufort was op the short end of 17-19 score at 0:30 of the quar ter. Dover extended Its lead in the canto to 21-18 before the Seadogs got warmed up and went out ahead at 28-23 at 1:02 of the quarter. Davenport converted another pair of free throws with 34 seconds left and Lewis followed up one of his teammate's shots with 3 sec onds left and Beaufort left the court at halftime with a narrow one point lead 28-27. Safrit Gets Hot In the third quarter Henry Safrit really took over the scoring honors for the Seadogs as they went out to win the game before the final quarter. Henry pushed in 10 points in the third quarter and with his teammates, helped take the ball away from the taller Dover men under the boards m insure Beau-( fort of a lead in the quarter. The largest margin Beaufort en joyed in the quarter came at 1:52 when they led by 46-37, but the boys from Dover cut the lead down and at the end of the quarter Beau fort had a 48-43 advantage. Neither team took too many shots in the final quarter as Beau fort started to play possession type basketball after they had raised their lead back to nine points 52 49 on two quick push shots by Herb Mason at 5:85.

Gehrmann Holland left the game with but four fouls on him, according to everyone's scorebook but the official scorer's. With 46 seconds left in the game, even his replacement, Ed Willis got into the scoring column when he sank a layup with 30 seconds to go. Willis's score made it 59-50 in Beaufort's favor but a hook shot by Ltwi^ with 21 seconds left made the final score read Beau fort 59, Dover 52. Boys Flayed Very Well Every member of the Beaufort Seadogs quintet deserves a great deal of credit for their fine show ing against Dover. For the boys, who won their 24th consecutive game of the season, it was probably their finest win. Holland, PKtman, Mason. Davis, and Safrit played the lion's share of the game. Holland tied with Wallace Lewis of Dover for high scoring honors. Each tallied 22. Others td flit in double figures were Henry Safrit, 13, and Herb Mason, 10, for the winners, and Hayden Wcthering ton, 12, and Ronald Davenport, 10, for the losing Dover five. Davenport had exceptional shoot ing ability at the free throw line. He scored all 10 of his points on foul conversions, hitting on 10 of 10. Seadogs Hit Frefh Floor Beaufort outscored Dover fronij the floor making 25 field goals to but 19 for Dover, but at the fre& throw line Dover had the better of it making 14 of 20, aa against the Seadogs' cenverting 9 of 18. The Beaufort team's passing at tack was their best of the yea r. Beaufort proved one thing to their fans in Friday night's game and that is that when they play an especially good foe, they give it that extra bit of fight. Dover was probably the best team that Beau fort has played to date and the boys can be proud of their victory. The lineups: Beaufort (59) ? Safrit 13, Davis 5, Holland 22, Pttt man 7, Mason 10, E.

I don't think that I had any ideas about It one war or the other, but Assistant Basketball Coach Back Freeman of the University ot North Carolina must be a prophet. It waa at the of the first (Me played by Beaafart at Kcnans vllle, a mighty poor game la say tbe leaat, that Freeman UM me, "Well, deal feel too badly about tbe bay,' showing tonight 111 be able ta see them la actlaa While thry'f* la Greensboro." At that exact moment I krtow that there were a goodly number of Beaufort rooters vho weren't quite aa certain as Freeman that the Sea dogs would be going to Greenaboro, especially If their performance against Bath was any criterion. But all was forgiven when the boys played one of their finest gamei Friday night against highly-ranked Dover and In Saturday night's game as well. Aa a matter of fact, the contest between Beaafart and Dover meant that the two beat teams la the plajraffa played aa Friday night rather than In the finals on Saturday. Coach Freeman was especially enthused over Gehrmann Holland and Monk Pittman. On the subject of scholarships, H seeau that Carteret Coanty could give aay ef the smaller colleges la Ik* atate a Ug boaal with either Walker GUIIkin, Smyrna, or Jerry T. Willis, Marchead City. These two, along with Pittman and Holland, could help most any team In the state. Gillikin is an especially rugged big man under the boards and could add rebounding strength to a college five. Jerry Willis, though not as strong physically aa GUIIkin. is an adept shot, and with his 6 foot 7 inch stature, could certainly help any of the smaller colleges We're hoping that some of the scouts who saw these boys in the recent county tournament will put in a good word for the boys so they will be able to go oa to college and make a name for them selves as Billy Widgeon of Newport has done at Atlantic Christian College. Carteret does develop good basketballers as can be seen from the case of Widgeon, voted the moat valuable'ptayer in the college confer ence tournament. Billy had a 13.1 point per game scoring average, which is really fine for a little man playing amidst giants. We're glad that Coach Freeman af North Carolina will be in at tendance at Greensboro, and we feel certain that other colleges in the state will also have representatives there to see our Seadogs in action. ? The boxing project that we have been speaking about in this column has really caught hold. Most of the boys that are coming out for the training at the present time are youngsters, and with a little coaching should be ready for action within a month or so. We hope that the people af tbe county will get behind the pro gram and help ta get another sport started in the area that will help keep the youngsters occupied. It is hoped at the present time to get another meeting place be fore the next get-together which should be on March 26, a week from this coming Saturday. lufort Plans 10-Game lasebalt Schedule for '55 Beaufort's Baseball team will+ start its season with a game against Swansboro at the Swansboro dia- I mond March 29, according to the schedule released by Coach Tom McQuaid, and his assistant, Hugh Gordon.

Benny Thlgpen of Beulaville hit in double figures for the loarrs with II points Credit for the outstanding ahol in the entire tournament goes to Jimmy Davis for his halfcourt set which more or less set the game up for the Seadogs at the end of the first quarter. Safrit Fouled Out Henry Safrit was the only player on either team to leave the game via the five-pertonal foul route. Henry fouled out at 1:36 of the final quarter. If an outstanding player were selected during the district play offs the honor would go to Hollaail who tallied over 20 points in each of the games an<J helped spark his team to all three victories. Gehrmann, and Richard Odom of Ahoakie, were the only twu boys from Class A teams to be selected to the Greensboro Daily News All State team. Holland's total of 68 points in the playoffs was good for an aver age' of 22 points per game, or the same average that he maintained all season.
