DENNISON - The Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates (7-1) had an easy time taking the measure of St. John's Fighting Irish of Bellaire in the 1st morning game on Saturday. Junior forward Boyd Burkey, the Pirate crack shot, was 'hot' and made 8 field goals, but few of them were from any distance. Burkey and Senior forward Ken Ricker, playing a marvelous floor game, worked together under the basket with Ricker feeding the ball to his steady teammate, who has made 36 points in the 1st two tournament games.
The 1st quarter was close 8-7, but the Sugarcreek-Shanesville team pulled far ahead in the next 2 frames, 24-14 and 30-18. Head Coach Harold Sundheimer replaced Burkey and Senior guard Hugo Wassem with 3 substitutes at the beginning of the 4th quarter, but shot them back in when St. John's began to click and made 8 points in as few minutes. Burkey led the Pirates in scoring with 21 points, while the Fighting Irish were led by Masgistro who had 2 field goals and 7 free throws for a total of 11 points.
