NEW PHILADELPHIA - Disposing of the Strasburg Tigers seemed almost routine for the Stone Creek Golden Panthers as they boomed into a big 19-4 lead before everyone was seated at Memorial Hall. In regular season the Tigers had defeated the Golden Panthers 42-39. It was just a matter of time after the opening minutes as the erratic Bengals missed layup after layup while committing many turnovers.
The Panthers of 1st year Head Coach Ernie Lukens seemed primed and ready for their tournament debut as they first took a 6-0 lead, advanced it to 19-5 by the 1st half marched on to a 35-16 halftime advantage and led 52-30 when the last period arrived. Showing great scoring balance, Stone Creek had 4 men in double figures with 5-10 Senior guard Dan Wherley leading the parade with 17 points. Senior 5-6 forward Jim McAfee hit for 15, Senior 6-2 forward Hal Lahmers scored 13 and 5-10 Senior Terry Sauser potted 11.
Senior 6-0 forward Nick Haswell, playing in his final game for 1st Year Head Coach Ernie Raber and the Strasburg Tigers lived up to his family name as he appeared as the only real highlight for the Tiger attack. Haswell potted 21 points, 15 in the 2nd half. Overall, the Stone Creek Golden Panthers who are now 13-8 for the campaign, shot 62 times from the field making 24 for a percentage of 38.
Strasburg, getting off to a freezing start by making only 2 of its first 12 shots from the field, ended up with 24 percent, making 17 of 70 attempts.
