Fans in Strasburg are depending onthis crew of Orange andBlack tossers to bring home the County Class B Tournament bacan Saturday night. They are: Senior Paul Sundheimer (center), Senior Orval Deems (forward), Senior Paul Neidenthal (guard), Senior Clyde Denzer (guard), Sophomore Wilson Dreher (guard), Senior Cloyce Schumacher and Junior Blaine Shively (forward). Head Coach is Simukka.
Head Coach Simukka of Strasburg relies heavily in this man Deems (The Demond of Strasburg), a forward and has every hope of bringing home the basketball title at the county Class B tourney which starts Friday night and continues through Saturday.
STRASBURG - Although they finished in a tie for 3rd place in the County Class B (cage) League this season with Gnadenhutten, the Strasburg High School quintet of cagers believe the reason they were not on top of the pile was due to the bad start of the year. True, a defeat at the outset of any season in the sporting world doesn't help a team in the least. Had Strasburg started the season with a victory over Gnaden instead of a defeat, the confidence endowed from that game might have carried the Franklin-Township crew through the year in good shape. But nevertheless, the county league court season is finished. Strasburg now returns with 9 other Class B teams to the annual county tournament to be held Friday in the Junior High School Gymnasium at New Philadelphia.
Head Coach Simukka of the northenders has been drilling his floormen hard all week and instilling a number of offensive formations for the team by which he hopes to send them to the county crown. With Orval Deems at forward and Paul Sundheimer at center being the keymen of the Simukka machine, it is Clyde Denzer and Paul Neidenthal who are relied on to do the defensive work. If they can get to functioning properly in the initial game of the tournament against Baltic, Strasburg should have good going the balance of the way through.
