DOVER - Tuscarawas County's 2 parochial schools were eliminated from the Section Class A Basketball Tournament pictured in the opening games at Memorial Hall in Dover last night. The Dover St. Joseph Ramblers bowed to the Gnadenhutten Indians 72-46 as the Dennison St. Mary Blue Wave was eliminated by a spine-tingling last-second 68-67 victory by the Berlin Black Panthers.
The 3rd game saw the Big Prairie-Lakeville Bulldogs defeat the Malvern Green Hornets 67-61.
For 2 quarters, the Dover St. Joseph Ramblers (4-10) gave the Gnadenhutten Indians (3-1) (6-2) (17-6), 2nd best team in the county, a whale of a battle. But in the 3rd stanza the Indians began to hit with consistency and pulled away. The Ramblers stayed in the running in the initial half despite the fact that the usual high-scoring Eddie Joe Young was held scoreless. He got only 8 points in the 2nd half.
Both teams failed to hit the nets with consistency in the 1st quarter when Gnadenhutten pulled out in front 12-7. In the 2nd frame Gnaden tallied 16 points and St. Joseph hit 15 to make the score 22-18 at halftime. But the Tribesmen began to exhibit their usual topnotch brand of ball in the 3rd period when they almost outscored the Ramblers 2 to 1. They hit for 19 points and limited the losers to 10 for a 47-32 lead.
The Scarlet and Gray of Gnaden then had its best quarter when it scored 25 points to the Rover's 14. Leading the Gnadenhutten Indians was 6-0 Senior guard Tom Roth, who scored 10 field goals and 3 free throws for 23 points, while teammates 5-8 Senior forward Larry Clark and 6-1 Senior center Larry Gooding came through with 18 and 16 respectively.
With Young being stopped cold by the alert Tribe defenses, 5-6 Sophomore Forward John Ferchll became the only Rambler to hit with consistency and keep the game from being a complete route. He had 8 action shots and a single free throw for 17 points.
