DOVER - Tournament time...the home stretch of the basketball season down, which all scholastic teams sprint for high honors, has arrived. It will be escorted into Tuscarawas County for a 3-weekend stay at Legion Hall on Thursday night when the 1st game of the county Class B meeting is called. With 12 teams entered, the county tournament has reached a new size. Three of the 12 will be qualified for the Sectional Class B Tournament at Legion Hall next weekend which will have 19 teams entered in its competition. Winners there will advance to the District meet at Dennison on the 3rd weekend.
The Strasburg Tigers, which just finished its 3rd consecutive League Season undefeated and the Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates, 2nd-place club in the County League, are favored, as the tournament play opens, to travel successfully through both the County and Sectional meetings. Both towns have teams that would cause many Class A quints plenty of trouble. They have been cast in separate brackets and should meet in the finals. Strasburg high's team, coached by Paul M. Roby, will receive the Sanitary Milk Company Trophy for winning the League Championship. Walter Geib local manager of the company, made the arrangement. The tournament winner will receive the traditional S. Toomey Company Trophy, while members of the winning team will also receive individual medals presented by Walter E. Leiser, Inc. The latter is a new feature of the meet.
Sugarcreek-Shanesville is scheduled to play the Stone Creek Panthers who is the infant member of the County League in the 1st game Thursday at 6:30PM. The Gnadenhutten Indians will meet the New Cumberland Trojans who will be playing in its 2nd Tuscarawas County Tournament.
