DOVER - Senior forward John "Johnny" Studer, Tiger scoring ace, was Johnny-On-The-Spot when he swished through the winning basket on a hook shot from the pivot line as the Strasburg Tigers (5-0) brought down the Cadiz Cardinals 19-17 in the Eastern Ohio Sectional Tournament. With all their knowledge of consistent passing, blocking and close guarding in use, the Tigers kept a small margin over the Harrison County team. But, in the last quarter, Cadiz staged a 6-point rally and in the last 2 minutes tied the count...which stood deadlocked at 17-17 until Studer made the winning bucket. Strasburg led all the way with the score 5-3 in the 1st, 13-7 in the 2nd and 17-11 at the end of the 3rd period.
George Denzer, junior center and floor man par excellence for Strasburg, was high scorer with 8 points. His passing and blocking were features of the game. Studer was 2nd high with 7 points, a mark equaled by Peoples, tallish Cadiz Cardinal center. It was the best Class B game yet seen on the Legion boards since the Tuscarawas County Tournament.
