- Easy As Pie - With
face mask in place, Gremlin Dave Craig (44) sailed up past Red
Raiders Rod La Borde (33) and Dave McDonald in the third quarter
last night to stuff two more points for Karns City during a
frenzied rally. Hitting from the outside and driving to the
boards, Craig blew out Cameron County for 10 points in the third
frame, and finished with 16 markers as the Gremlins clinched the
contest. (Article from the Butler Eagle 1976) |
2001
- "Pat Craig (33), a 6-4 junior forward on the Karns City
boys' basketball team, goes up for a dunk in the Gremlins 59-46
win over Kane in the District IX final last Friday at Clarion
University. Craig scored a game-high 27 points and pulled down 12
rebounds to help Karns City win the title. In the semifinals
Tuesday at Clarion High School, Craig scored a team-high 17
points. The Gremlins will play Saegertown Saturday at 8 p.m. at
Clarion High School in the first round of the PIAA Class AA state
playoffs." |
