The Midvale Blue Devils All-County Senior Forward Jack Ford led the Blue Devils to a 53-43 triumph over the Dover St. Joseph Ramblers at Memorial Hall scoring 15 points for game honors. Ford has amassed a total of 88 markers during the tournament run for a 22.0 average per game.
DOVER - A rallying, determined quintet of St. Joseph's Ramblers, paced by Sophomore center Ed Reiger and Junior guard Tony Contini, did not have quite enough to march to victory over the Midvale Blue Devils (4-1) (24-3), but Head Coach Eddie Young's cagers stayed on the pace throughout the game and threatened to overhaul Midvale on several occasions.
Sparked by All-County Senior forward Jack Ford and Junior forward Jim Golder, the Blue Devils took a 20-12 first quarter lead, but the Ramblers, paced by Reiger and Senior forward Ray Hagarman, cut this to 31-26 at halftime as they outscored the County League Champions.
Blue Devils power; however, asserted itself again in the 3rd stanza with Sophomore center Bob Sherrell leading the attack and the Ramblers trailed 43-31 at the end of the period.
Tony Contini, Reiger and Senior forward John Petrella staged a desperate 4th canto rally, but the Devil margin was too great even through the Ramblers outscored Midvale 12 to 10 in this quarter.
