NEW PHILADELPHIA - Top seeded Tuscarawas County Champion Midvale Blue Devils (19-1) and the kings of Holmes County, the Hiland Hawks (19-2) got byes and were put in opposite brackets when the drawings were held for the Sectional Tournament Class A at Dover yesterday. Thus, the 2 are assured of not meeting in the next step of schoolboy tournament play at Dover's Memorial Hall.
The Tuscarawas Valley Trojans (18-2) county tournament Runner-up and the Dennison St. Mary Blue Waves (13-5) non-county Champions, will start action tomorrow evening at Memorial Hall in a 7:30 battle, while the Malvern Green Hornets (4-14) and the Killbuck Bucks (16-4) were matched in the lower bracket opener at 8:45 on Tuesday. The Bucks were Runner-up in Holmes, while the Green Hornets emerged from Carroll County. The Trojans-Blue Waves victor will move on to clash with the Hawks in a showdown for a District berth on Friday at 8:00.
Meanwhile, the Diablos of Midvale will await the verdict of Killbuck and the Hornets to meet this winter for a District berth on Saturday at 8:00. The District will also be played at Dover on March 2,3 and 6 with Manager W.E. Laws.
Tickets will be sold at the door only for 60 cents and $1.00. By the fate of the draw the Tuscarawas County Champions and Runner-up landed in opposite brackets, while the Holmes County victors and Runner-up also crew opposite brackets to assure the teams of not meeting until at least District play.
The teams, after seeding Midvale and Hiland in bye spots, first drew for order of draw and then for the order in which they would pick their spot. Tusky Valley got 1st pick and chose to go in the bracket with Hiland instead of the Blue Devils, while the Bucks followed by going with the Devils. In the next choice, the Blue Waves went in the upper to face the Trojans, while the Green Hornets automatically landed with Killbuck.
