DOVER - Tenth-Year Head Coach Earl Sundheimer's Sugarcreek-Shanesville High School Pirates (12-2) will take on one of their toughest foes of the entire year tomorrow night at Memorial Hall here when they meet 2nd-Year Head Coach Ken "Blondie" Gartrell's Gnadenhutten High School Indians (15-4) in a county Class B tournament semi-final.  The Pirates and Indians have not met this season, but both bowled over almost every Class B foe they met.  The Pirates suffered a defeat at the hands of Strasburg and the Indians were upset by the Tuscarawas Broncos 35-16 at Gnaden.  The next time the Indians played Tuscarawas...Gnaden won 51-25 at Tusky.  Gnadenhutten's 3 other losses were to Newcomerstown (Class A) 40-29 after the Indians had beaten them earlier 36-20, and then lost twice to Sebring (Class A) 46-21 and 40-39.  Gnaden also beat Uhrichsville (Class A) twice 26-25 and 22-19.  The game is considered a toss-up.
