STRASBURG'S TALENTED TIGERS will shoot the works tonight at Kent State University Fieldhouse as they attempt to come through with another 1st for the history books against imposing odds. Only one more obstacle stands in the way of a trip to Cincinnati. Head Coach Ken Newlon's Bengals will try to accomplish what no other Strasburg Team has ever been able to do up to this point. Two other Tiger quintets have gone into the Regional Tournament finals and both lost out - one by one point and the other by three.
TONIGHT AT 8:00, the Bengals clash with the vaunted Vienna Flyers who have been tagged in many quarters as "the odds-on favorite to represent Northeastern Ohio in the Cincinnati Regional Tournament next week. The Orange and Black spirit is at a peak and if the Mustangs can be forced into a tailspin, Strasburg will be there to make sure they don't pull out.
STRASBURG LAST NIGHT fought though 2 quarters of a nip-and-tuck ball game before getting a lead and playing control ball the rest of the way to halt the Battling Bulldogs of Boston Township 78-70 in the opening game of the tournament. Vienna made it 28 straight in the nightcap by racking up Liberty for the 4th time this year 71-53. An uncanny shooting exhibition plus plenty of scrap kept Boston Township in the fight right up until the last 3 minutes, but Jerry (Goose) Von Kaenel's towering height (near 6-5) under the boards and a 2nd-half surge by the Tigers was too much for Boston Township.
