DOVER - The Tuscarawas Broncos faces a stern task of stopping another undefeated club when the Broncos of Head Coach Chuck Lorenz run up against the Flushing Orioles at Brilliant on Wednesday night. The Orioles are unbeaten in 22 games. Tusky, who snapped the Strasburg Tigers' skein at 24 in the Tuscarawas County Tournament finals, will be about equal to the Belmont County leaders in the height department with the only big difference coming in the center position.
Manning the pivot post for Head Coach Walt Bahorek of Flushing will be Carter Howell, 6-4, Black, who has ripped the nets with 502 points in the Orioles' 22 games this season. Tickets for Wednesday night's game may be purchased at the Tuscarawas High School for 75 cents. There will be no reserved seats, but tickets can also be purchased at the door.
Despite the fact that Howell is the leading scorer, Flushing's top operative is said to be 6-2 forward John Fitzgerald, who has been on the All-Eastern Ohio team selected by Ohio River sports writers. A transfer from Holloway, Fitzgerald is the top rebounder and all-around team player for the Orioles with 5-11 Gary Dale leading his southpaw support to the forward post. At the guards, Flushing will have 5-11 Ray Ornouski and 5-7 Charles Campanizzi with 6-0 Gary Rinkes as the 6th man.
The Orioles, in addition to the victories over Jewett, defeated the Freeport Raiders 78-59 and the Hopedale Comets 64-61. Freeport holds one of the 2 victories over Tuscarawas. The Red Riders upset the Broncos 59-58 at the tail end of the season. Two opponents tried the control tactics on Flushing, but the Orioles kayoed both, defeating Lafferty 27-17 and Bethesda 37-18. Flushing also tripped Lafferty 75-42 and 56-49 in 2 other meetings while downing Bethesda 76-39 and 72-45 on 2 other occasions.
The Orioles' other victories came over New Athens 88-41 and 79-38, the Centerville Elks 76-51 and 96-41; Belmont 83-67, Alumni 102-41; the Mt Pleasant Mounties 74-44; Holloway 92-59 and 76-57; Powhatan 62-40 and the Dillonvale Night Riders 52-49.
