Bucs rally, send Cal to defeat
By Mike Kovak, Staff writer, mkovak@observer-reporter.com 

HOUSTON - Chartiers-Houston's boys basketball team found itself in the type of situation Tuesday night where the Bucs wilted so many times one year ago.
Down six late in the third quarter to a talented and youthful California coming in with a sparkling won-loss record, Chartiers-Houston picked up its defensive intensity and let an experience-laden line-up take over.

An 11-0 run erased the Bucs' deficit and nine points from the free-throw line over the final 2:47 propelled Chartiers-Houston to a 57-55 victory in Section 5-AA.

'Last year, we'd get down to the last couple minutes and we'd have a five-point lead. Then, we'd do something like have three straight possessions with turnovers,' senior Derek McIlvaine said. 'We shot ourselves in the foot so many times. We decided we had enough of it.'

In beating California (2-1 section, 8-2 overall), Chartiers-Houston picked up its first win against a team with a winning record and McIlvaine played a key role as he scored a game-high 18 points, including four late free throws.
It's the type of victory Chartiers-Houston (2-1, 6-1) hopes to parlay into a postseason appearance.

'You don't get much out of beating teams by 30,' McIlvaine said. 'These ones set you up for future games. Winning a dogfight like this, it helps us learn how to finish.'

And that's exactly what the Bucs did.

California, behind a barrage of three-pointers from freshman Tanner Huffman (17 points) and John Tyler (12 points), took control of a game with nine lead changes and one tie during the first half thanks to a 15-2 third-quarter run. It started with a Tyler three-pointer and ended with a Tyler basket that put the Trojans ahead, 41-35.

Chartiers-Houston halted the spurt with a Ryan Scott three-pointer before turning up the defense in the fourth.

The Bucs, who forced only one turnover in the third, created seven in the fourth. Several of those turnovers triggered an 11-0 run that produced a 46-41 lead.

'We played a good game but we turned it over too many times,' said California coach Phil Pergola. 'Really, the only game where we didn't play well was Southmoreland.'

California took a 49-48 lead on a basket from Huffman before a pair of McIlvaine free throws gave the Bucs, who got 13 points from point guard Mark Jones and 11 points with nine rebounds from Stan Zavatski, the lead for good.

'Jones, McIlvaine and Scott have all started since their sophomore year and that 11-0 run where we took the lead speaks to their maturity,' Bucs coach Jerry Cypher said. 'They didn't panic. Their coach probably panicked more than the players.'

Carmichaels falls into Char-Houston's trap
By Matt Shetler, For the Observer-Reporter 

HOUSTON - For the Chartiers-Houston High School boys basketball team, the goal is simple: make the playoffs.
The Bucs got off to a good start on the way to that goal by finding the winning formula in their own tip-off tournament.

Chartiers-Houston won the tournament championship Tuesday night with a 67-31 victory over Carmichaels in the final.

'I know it's a cliché, but we have to take things one day at a time,' said Chartiers-Houston head coach Jerry Cypher. 'Having said that though, I'm very pleased, if not surprised at how well we've executed through two games.'

The senior-laden Bucs used their experience and dominated the title game from the opening tip. Using their trapping defense, solid point-guard play, and a distinct height advantage, the Bucs made things look easy.
'That's who we are,' said Cypher. 'We are a trapping team and we like to take advantage of our size inside. Our guards get after it and our big guys battle inside.'

While the Bucs have experience starting five seniors, just the opposite is true for the Mikes. Carmichaels lost four all-section players from last season's team, leaving veteran Carmichaels head coach Don Williams with a young and inexperienced team.

'We panicked once they started trapping and dug ourselves a big hole,' Williams said.

The Bucs (2-0) trapped effectively in the first half, forcing the Mikes into numerous turnovers that resulted in easy transition baskets. When the Bucs weren't scoring in transition, they had success in their half-court offense, often getting the ball to their big man Stanley Zavatski.

'I'm very happy for Stan,' said Cypher. 'He has improved so much from last season until now in all facets of his game. He is going to turn into an effective weapon for us.

Zavatski finished with 11 points, but was dominant on the glass as well, creating several second shot opportunities for the Bucs.

'We had no answer for him,' said Williams. 'We're a very small team and he pretty much had his way with us.'

Zavatski was one of four Bucs scoring in double figures. Forward Ryan Scott led all scorers with 18 points. Forward Josh Spyra had 11 and point guard Mark Jones chipped in 10.

Jonathen Krall led the Mikes (1-1) in scoring with 13 points.

Jones, a three year starter, not only scored in double figures, he also ran the Bucs' offense very effectively, creating easy shots for his teammates throughout the game.

'I can't say enough about Mark,' added Cypher. 'He does everything we need. Many people play the point guard position, but very few are true point guards and he is. I feel he is one of the best in the WPIAL.'

Bucs guard Scott McIlvane was named tournament's Most Valuable Player.

In the consolation game, Quigley Catholic defeated Jefferson Morgan 54-46.
