(Photo by Mark Moran) Kings coach previews basketball season | “How quickly Kenny Casey recovers from his broken left wrist will determine how far we can go in the Middle Atlantic Conference basketball race next season,” ob- served King’s coach Ed Donohue. Casey, the 6-6 junior center from Nanticoke, led the Monarchs in scoring, 19.3 ppg, and in rebounding, 13.5 per start, last season as they posted an 18-8 record. King’s won the MAC Northern Division, East Section, on an 11-2 record, and lost to Albright in the first round of the playoffs at Elizabethtown. “We will need all of our players healthy,” noted the coach. If Casey is not fully recovered, Donohue will look to 6-8 letterman Nafty Hage, and to 6-8 freshman Bill Hoover, out of Wyoming Area. Hoover can earn a shot with the varsity, but it depends on his development until that time. “Even if Casey heals well, he will be several weeks behind the other team members, but he should catch them,” the coach observed. “Our Nov. 28 opener at home with Albany State could prove a tough one as they are in Division II,” said the coach. “There will be lots of pressure on our young kids to be ready early. The bench will be a key to our success. Our let- termen can hold their own but will have to be wary of injuries and foul {roubles. This year our bench will not be experienced and will include frosh and sophs with no playing time. Our frosh guards will get every crack at making the varsity. ‘‘Among the new shooting guards will be Charlie Lackner and Rich Dooley from the New York City area, and Tony Ferdinand from Bishop Hafey. “Point guard com- petition may feature Dom Fanto, Syracuse, soph up from the JV team; Keith Allayne, York Catholic; Bill Nicholson, Bethlehem A number of Back Mt. 4- Hers were winners in the Luzerne County 4-H Light Horse and Pony Club roundup held at the Leh- man Horse Show Grounds on Aug. 4.
