50 - Tuscarawas County 1950 All-Star Team






All-Tournament Team named by The Daily Reporter sports staff following the conclusion of play at Memorial Hall last Friday night.  TOP LEFT:  Senior Center Bob Sherrell - MIDVALE.  TOP RIGHT:  Senior Forward Tom Miller STRASBURG.  BOTTOM LEFT:  Senior Guard Maurice Lundenberger - BOLIVAR.  BOTTOM RIGHT:  Senior Forward Glen Zimmerman - SUGARCREEK-SHANESVILLE.  CENTER PLAYER:  Senior Guard Hal Ridenour - STONE CREEK.


DOVER - Five Tuscarawas County schools are represented on The Daily Reporter All-Tournament Team named following the close of the tourney on Friday night at Memorial Hall.  The players were chosen on a basis of tournament play and season performance was not considered.

Glen Zimmerman Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates' great play-maker and offensive standout, was placed at a forward berth along with the Strasburg Tigers' set shooting ace, Tom Miller.  The Midvale Blue Devils' rangy center, Bob Sherrell, earned the center post, while Maurice Lundenberger of the Bolivar Cardinals was a great threat and Harold Ridenour, the Stone Creek Golden Panther sparkplug, drew the guard berths.  Although Lundenberger is a center, he was placed at a guard post to make room for Sherrell.

Bolivar placed one man on the 2nd team, Senior forward Ed Grossenbacher, while Midvale's Junior guard Carl Pissocra gained a berth with the 2nd Five.  Forward Ike Hostetler of Sugarcreek-Shanesville was named to the 2nd team along with Junior foward Jerry Rausch of the Tuscarawas Broncos and Senior forward Don Gepfert of the Strasburg Tigers.
