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.

the final canto was at 2:06 when
they were on the short end of a
55-49 score. 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

Surveying the Scene
wMi Hal Shapiro
? 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.
