DOVER - Tuscarawas, Bolivar and the Strasburg Tigers, big 3 of the Tuscarawas County Class B Basketball League, finished the loop's tournament in that order at Legion Hall on Saturday night. The Tuscarawas Broncos (3-0) (6-13) defeated the Bolivar Cardinals (3-1) (15-12) in the final game 45-34 to win the Championship held by Strasburg for the last 3 years. The Tigers tumbled out of the joust in the semi-finals, downing the Midvale Blue Devils 27-16 to win the Consolation prize. The winner, runner-up and Consolation winner all qualified for the Eastern District Sectional meeting at Legion Hall this week-end. Drawings for the Sectional will be held tonight.
Playing before an enthusiastic crowd that comfortably filled the Hall, Head Coach Charmas Davis' Broncos swept to the Championship with a last half rush. Bolivar had held the game at even terms during the 1st half, but weakened toward the close. A lightning-fast 1st quarter ended with Tusky leading 14-11 and that lead was advanced to 16-11 at the very start of the 2nd quarter.
The Cardinals rallied there and on 2 buckets by forward Ward Kreis and a 3rd by guard Kermit Lebold, jumped into the lead 17-16. The advantage, the only one Bolivar held during the entire game, was short-lived and was lost when Senior forward Calvin Knisely dropped 2 action shots through the hoop in rapid succession. The half ended with the Broncos leading 23-20. The Davis team held a 14-point lead once during the 3rd period with the score 34-20. At the close of the quarter the Cardinals rallied and pumped in 5 points. The issue seemed settled and the 4th quarter moved along with both teams scoring frequently. In that period Bolivar garnered 9 points, Tuscarawas 11.
Leading the cause for Tusky was center Earl Schumacher with 15 points (7 field goals and 1 free throw). His teammate Senior guard Dick Demuth also hit for double figures with another 10 points (4 field goals and 2 foul shots). Bolivar's 6-3 Junior center Paul Class claimed game honors with 19 points (7 field goals and 5 free throws).
Trophies were presented between halves of the final game. W.E. Laws of Midvale, Tournament Manager, presented the tournament prizes and W.C. Smith of Gnaden presented the 3 trophies to the Tuscarawas Broncos, Strasburg Tigers and the Bolivar Cardinals as co-champions of the League. Team Captains received the awards.
To the Tuscarawas Champions went The Daily Reporter Championship Trophy and individual medals from Walter E. Leiser, Inc. The S. Toomey Co. Trophy went to Bolivar as runner-up and the Saitary Milk Co. Award went to Strasburg as the Consolation Champion. Trophies for the 3 co-champions of the loop were given by the E. Fienberg Co., Senhauser Clothing Co. and Godrey Electric Co.
