DENNISON - The Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates (6-1) and the Strasburg Tigers (6-0) of Tuscarawas County may meet for the Class B Championship of the Eastern District tonight at Dennison. Both yesterday went into the semi-final round by convincing victories and were to play this morning for the right to compete in the final. The Sugarcreek scoring machine was at it's best against Bethesda and the county lads won 44-33. Strasburg looked equally good in disposing the Byesville Colts 34-21. Malvern forfeited to St. John's of Bellaire because of an epidemic of influensa and St. John's reached the semi-final without taking the court. New Concord, Strasburg's foe this morning, outfought the strong Millersburg crew and won 30-24. Concord cleverly handled the ball and shot with great accuracy to overcome the handicap of facing a taller team.
It was the sharp-shooting Junior forward Boyd Burkey who led the Pirates in scoring. He tallied 15 points, but every one of his teammates broke into the scoring column. The victors had everything their own way with the exception of the 3rd quarter when Bethesda rallied and almost closed the gap. The winners led at the end of the 3rd chukker 30-26. They hit the hoop with regularity again in the final heat to take a decisive victory.
In the Strasburg-Byesville game, the Colts couldn't stop Senior Bill Yates and Sophomore John Studer, Pirate ace forwards. Studer chalked up 13 points, 6 field goals and 1 free throw and Yates made 12, six field goals. Like Sugarcreek, all of the Tiger regular players helped with the scoring. Head Coach Paul Roby used his entire team after the game was sewed up in the 4th period. Strasburg didn't get started in the 1st quarter and the count ws knotted at 7 points. The victors led at halftime, 17-14 and at the 3rd period 24-16. Droltz led the Colts with 8 points, 4 field goals.
