Strasburg Tigers Head Coach Paul M. Roby after extracting revenge on the Tuscarawas Broncos, Tuscarawas County Champions, headed his team toward Dennison in hopes of another District Championship. After 3 tries this season, Strasburg finally beat Tusky 28-25.
DOVER - Right from the start, the Strasburg Tigers (5-1) had the edge on the Tuscarawas Broncos (4-1). The Tigers widened the lead until at the end of the 3rd quarter the score stood 18-11. The Tigers finally won 28-25 with only seconds to go. Then in the last quarter, Senior forward Calvin Knisely and Senior center Earl Schumacher of Tusky went on a scoring spree running the score to 26-23, still Strasburg's favor. During the spree, Senior center George Denzer and Senior forward Bill "Doodle" Haas of Strasburg were ejected from the game on personal fouls. Play during the 1st half showed Strasburg leading 6-3 in the 1st period and 11-7 in 2nd period.
Senior guard Dick Demuth added another basket for the Broncos and Senior guard Adrian "Fuzz" Miller, Tiger guard, was ejected on personals. There were 40 seconds remaining to play. Little Babe "Bud" Rieger (christened Charles) was substituted for Miller. Both teams fought furiously for possession of the ball. Tuscarawas missed long shots. The ball was snapped to Rieger who dribbled in, twisted in a pot shot from the left side of the north basket to clinch the game for Strasburg. He missed a free throw received when he was fouled on the shot.
Miller was high man with a game high of 10 points (4 field goals and 2 free tosses) and repeatedly won plaudits of fans for his floor tactics. Miller "played the ball," snatching it from the backboard time and time again. Haas before leaving the game had scored 7 points (3 field goals and a free throw). Denzer, Senior forward Jim Dreher and Junior forward John "Sparkie" Sparks were a steadying influence in passing. Freshman forward Paul Haswell and Sparks, who replaced Haas and Denzer, each scored a basket. Knisely, Schumacher and Demuth each scored 7 points for the Broncos (2 field goals and 3 free throws), (3 field goals and a free throw and 3 field goals and a free throw).
