North Semifinals Doubleheader at the Palestra Dougherty 58, Judge 46 Six-seven Joe Newman, used as the sixth man in his first season of organized

ball, scored 17 points and recorded six blocks. Bill Magarity and Kevin Kane scored 12

points each and Paul Tucker hit a 10-foot jumper to provide the lead for good, 34-32.

Dennis Maguire (12) and Harry Edwards (11) led Judge. North 74, Kenrick 54 Jim Boylan (20, 20 rebounds), Gene Kweeder (13), Joe Rymal (11) and Billy Dever

(10) led the way as North ruined Kenrick’s first playoff appearance. Jim Casciano

(17) paced the losers, who shot 0-for-15 in the third quarter. South Semifinals Doubleheader at the Palestra Neumann 46, O’Hara 34 David Jones collected 16 points and 12 rebounds and scored all five of Neumann’s

second-half baskets. Vince DeLuca limited O’Hara shooter Frank Doyle to six points. Bonner 71, SJ Prep 66 Bonner stormed to a 33-17 lead in the first 13 minutes, but found itself

trailing by seven points late in the third quarter. Jack McCormick (18) and Jim Haggarty

(17) paced the Friars while The Prep’s John Jablonski poured in 27 points. Semifinals Doubleheader at the Palestra Dougherty 71, Neumann 59 Bill Magarity shot 7-for-8 and 7-for-10 for 21 points and plucked 12 rebounds

while Joe Newman (16) and Kevin Kane (15) helped. For Neumann, David Jones had 15 points

and Gene Prybella managed 12 before being ejected for throwing a punch. North 64, Bonner 50 As they’d done in 1968, the Falcons again turned a bizarre situation into

victory. At the scheduled 2 p.m. start, coach Fran Dougherty, thinking his team was slated

for the second game, was walking into the building and no Falcons were warming up.

Officials gave North 15 minutes to put a team on the floor. When Dougherty reached the

locker room, he found six players (four starters). The fifth starter, 6-5 Jim Boylan,

rushed to the bench during the National Anthem and asked guard Billy Dever, ‘‘Which

basket is ours?’’ Gene Kweeder and Joe Rymal scored 18 points apiece. Dever (13)

and Boylan (nine) helped. Bonner’s Joe DiCocco scored 19 points. Two main men missed

the game — North’s Joe Rapczynski (broken ankle) and Bonner’s John

Cappelletti (sprained ankle). FINAL At the Palestra Dougherty 45, North 44 Paul Tucker totaled 16 points, eight rebounds and three assists and sub Greg

Jones shot 6-for-9 for 12 points. Jones missed a one-and-one with 0:04 left and then

North's Joe Rymal came close on a buzzer-beating 40-footer. For North, John Hyduk scored

12 points, Jim Boylan had 10 points and 20 rebounds and Gene Kweeder had nine points, 15

boards.
