DOVER - For the 2nd time in a row, the Tuscarawas Broncos (4-1) (29-28) (20-3) has won the Consolation Division Championship and against the same team. But this time the Broncos froze the Gnadenhutten Indians' (2-2) (37-29) offense in a 52-13 whipping of the Indians. Tusky forced Gnaden's players of set-shot artists all over the floor to keep them from scoring and then drove in under the basket for their own shots to win a one-sided triumph.
Tuscarawas leaped to a 9-point lead 14-5 in the 1st quarter. In the 2nd quarter, the Broncos increased their lead to 19 points, while only giving up 3 hard earned Indian points as the scoreboard read 27-8. Tusky continued the onslaught increasing their lead by 28 points and giving up another 3 points to Gnaden...Broncos 37-11. Both teams emptied their benches in the last and final quarter.
Senior center Fred Walton grabbed game honors for Tuscarawas with 21 points (9 field goals and 3 free throws), while Senior forward John Vesco followed with 15 markers. Junior forward Bill Roche led Gnaden with 5 points on 2 field goals and a free throw. Frank Cox and Jim Moran, both of New Philadelphia, refereed.
