DOVER - The Strasburg Tigers will face a fast-improving Yorkville Ductillites ball club on Thursday night when the Tigers open their bid for their 2nd District Title in 3 years in the Class B District Tournament at Memorial Hall. Head Coach Ken Newlon's charges will be tagged as favorites over the river valley Ductillites, who have been showing vast improvement in late season contests.
The Ducats, Champions of Jefferson County, has height and scoring power to recommend its chances with 6-4 Senior Henry Josefczyk leading the parade in both departments. The lanky Yorkville center has tallied 704 points in games to date with flashy Ed Baran, 5-11 Junior forward, next in the scoring line with 546 markers.
Expected to be paired at the forward post with Baran is 6-foot Senior Morris Kosikowski, who has tallied 244 points in games thus far. Jim Azzij, 6-0 Junior and Nick Gerolomis, 5-6 Junior, are expected to hold down the guard berths against the Bengals. The 2 play-makers have tallied 113 and 129 points respectively thus far this year. Sixth man on the Ductillite squad is Don Di Napoli, 6-0 Freshman. The season records of both teams are as follows:
