DOVER - On Friday night, Coshocton Sacred Heart edged Millersburg 25-24 and the Cadiz Cardinals took on the Dundee Bulldogs. Valiant little Dundee (3-2) gave Cadiz plenty to worry about in the 2nd game. Marvelous foul pitching by the Cardinals quintet was all that gave the Harrison County boys a 32-28 win. After trailing 10-5 at the end of the 1st quarter, Head Coach Kohr's scrappy outfit managed to gain 17 points to 16 for Cadiz by the end of the half. There were plenty in the crowd who believed Dundee had the game "in" when the 2nd half started. But Hauger, guard and Senior Glen Wilds, forward, were put out of the game because of personal fouls. Their absence weakened Dundee so much that Cadiz shot out front shortly before the end of the 3rd quarter. In the last quarter the Cardinals outplayed the Bulldogs considerably.
But, Dundee had plenty to crow about. The team smashed through the Cadiz offense considerably and forced all Cardinal men, with the exception of Lucas, to pass and shoot wildly much of the time. Lucas was the outstanding Cadiz player, caging 4 of his team's 6 field goals and pitching 9 out of 10 from the foul line. The officials called 29 fouls on Dundee. Cadiz tossed in 20 of their 29 foul shots. Dundee's center, Lester Price and Lucas were tied for scoring honors with 17 points each.

TOURNEY SHOTS
@Brave little Dundee bested Cadiz as far as floorwork and field goal shooting was concerned, but the Harrison County lads and especially "Powder" Lucas won the local tournament entry on Friday night.
@Dundee was in the battle to win. And they went a whole lot further in the tournament than many gave them credit for. Then their hearts being in play in an attempt to win their 2nd game caused their defeat for officials Gross and Wieck called 29 fouls on them.
@There were a lot of Dover fans who went home with a frog in their throat either Friday afternoon after the Strasburg victory or Friday night after Dundee had played such a wonderful game against Cadiz.
@Lester Price, Dundee's "dead-eye" center scored enough field goals to beat Cadiz lonehanded Friday night if the latter team had not tossed in 20 foul shots.
@John Kinney, Coshocton Sacred Heart forward, is the shortest plasyer in the tournament.
