These two striking pictures of Roy Smith, Midvale Captain and forward, the outstanding player in Tuscarawas County's Class B District Tournament here last Saturday show Smith as a determined everfighting cageman. Smith led all players in Class B scoring with 30 points in 3 games despite a bad ankle. He is without doubt the cleverest, trickiest and best master mind of any player in county Class B ball this season. Fans will get another glimpse of Smith in the District Tournament here Saturday night when the Midvale Blue Devils go into action again in all endeavers to win their way to the Sectional Tournament at Dennison in March on the 8th and 9th.
DOVER - Fifteen Class B basketball teams from 6 different counties have been paired to meet in 11 games at American Legion Auditorium next Saturday morning, afternoon and evening in the Eastern Ohio Sectional Tournament. Four teams remaining in the running at the close of Saturday night play, will participate in the semi-finals and finals of Class B tournament play at Dennison on March 8th and 9th. The Midvale Blue Devils, runner-up in County Class B play here last Saturday, drew the only bye Tuesday night when drawings were conducted at Legion Hall under supervision of F.W. Blackstone, Dover High School Principal, in charge of the tournament. The Bolivar Cardinals, winners of the county title, will meet the Mt Pleasant Mounties at 2PM on Saturday. The fact that Midvale drew a bye means that team must only win one basketball game to win the right to go to Dennison the following week. All other treams must win 2 games to get through the Saturday Tournament. Midvale's 1st game will not come until the Saturday night at 9PM when they will stack up against the winner of the Warsaw-Malvern contest.
Should the Bolivar Cardinals walk off with glory over the Mount Pleasant cagers, they then will meet either the Newcomerstown Trojans or Coshocton Sacred Heart. The Dover St. Joseph's Ramblers looks like a sure bet to get through the 1st round. They are pitted against the PerryTownship cagers from Carroll County in their initial contest which will begin at 11AM Saturday. Should St. Joseph survive they then will play the winner of the Millersburg-Dennison game. First action of the tourney is to be just about the same time you'll be eating breakfast Saturday. At 8AM Adena will play New Athens in the 1st game of the 1st round. At 9AM Carrollton bucks up against Clark in the 2nd game then at 10AM the Dennison Railroaders clashes with Millersburg. At 11AM St. Joseph cagers get into 1st action meeting the Perry Township quintet from Carroll County. The Newcomerstown Trojans battle Coshocton Sacred Heart, a favorite, in the initial game of the afternoon, scheduled to begin at 1PM. The Cardinals of Bolivar clashes with the Mounties of Mt. Pleasant then at 2PM and Warsaw meets Malvern at 3PM. Midvale drew the 4PM bye.
At 4PM winner of the Adena-New Athens game will play the winner of the Carrollton-Clark contest, opening 2nd round of play. At 7PM the winner of the Millersburg-Dennison game clashes with the winner of the St. Joseph-Perry Township contest.
