NEW PHILADELPHIA - While the Midvale Blue Devils are gunning for their 7th District Class A Championship since 1937 tonight at Dover's Memorial Hall, their foes at Conotton Valley are shooting for number one. The Blue Devils, annually a tournament threat, first copped the coveted crown in 1937, while also garnering the District title in 1940, 1941, 1948, 1949 and 1957.
The Conotton Valley Rockets, located only 10 miles east of Midvale (we checked the map) in Harrison County (many of the students live in Carroll County) has never won a Distrist Crown since coming into existence in 1950. The Devils (21-1) and Rockets (17-6) square off this evening at Dover at 8:00. The winner will gain a Regional berth at Canton next week, while the loser moves to Dennison on Saturday night to meet the runner-up from the Marietta District.
This latter victor will also get a ride to Canton.
