DOVER - The Midvale Blue Devils (2-0) (41-20) (13-6) and the Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates (1-1) (41-26) was expected to be a battle royal, but failed to come up to expectations and the Blue Devils, looking more impressive every start in the tournament, started edging away from the Pirates in the 2nd period and kept right on going.
Midvale led 13-11 at the end of the 1st quarter and continued to increase their advantage 25-17 by intermission. The Creekers went scoreless from the field in the 3rd stanza and the Blue Devils ended up with a 10-point lead going into the final quarter. Senior forward Dave Stevenson's one-handed shots were the payoff for Midvale. He sank 7 field goals and 5 free throw shots for 19 points, while Senior guard Karl Baumholtz came through with a 5 field goal total of 10 points and Senior forward Jim De Mattio added 9 more.
The Pirates, dropped by Midvale 2 weeks ago by only one point, couldn't hit the hoop and guard Bill Weiss led their scoring with 2 field goals and 6 free throws for 10 points, while forward Ed Hamsher and guard Bill Kuhn each scored 7 points.
