DENNISON - The Midvale Blue Devils, Tuscarawas County Champions, will open the District Tournament at Dennison at 12PM Friday against Belle Valley as a result of the Class B drawings last night at Dennison High School. The Gnadenhutten Indians, runners-up to Midvale and one of the 4 qualifiers at the Sectional event that was held here in Dennison last weekend, meets Senecaville at 1PM Friday. The Newcomerstown Trojans, Tuscarawas Counties other entry in the District Class B Tournament drew McConnellsville for the 8PM game on Friday. The District Class B Tournament Champion will very likely be captured by a Tuscarawas County team, unless The Soulthern Division quints are much stronger than advance notices. Oddly, there probably will be another Midvale-Gnaden game before the tourney is over. If both these teams, lwhich played for the Tuscarawas County title, win their 1st games, they will meet Saturday morning at Dennison for the right to participate in the final tilt.
The Class B games will be "sandwiched" between Class A games, for which pairings have already been made. The same officials, A.B. Long and P.W. Bacon, will handle all tournament games. From 12PM Friday noon until 10:30PM Saturday night, there will be an almost continual program of basketball from which 2 teams, one in each division, will emerge as representatives of the District at the State finals in Columbus on March 20-21. The Class B final game will start at 7PM Saturday night.
