NEW PHILADELPHIA - For the 3rd time this year the Tuscarawas Valley Trojans (2-0) (7-1) (18-1) proved themselves exactly 3 points better than the Garaway Pirates (1-1) (5-3) (14-8). In whipping the Pirates by 3 points once more, the Trojans were again pushed to the wire. No less than a dozen times saw the score knotted during the thrilling encounter with neither team out in front by more than 3 points during the first 3 and one-half quarters.
Finally, late in the 4th canto, TV's 2nd-Year Head Coach Bob Heller burst in front 46-40 and later 52-42 for the widest gap of the contest. With 5-5 Senior Butch Yakley hitting from the outside with uncanny consistency, the Corsairs of 4th-Year Head Coach Jim Stull crept to within 3 points at 54-51 with one minute to go. Yakley, who had already hit 4 times from action in the final period on jump-push shots, potted another from close-in to make it 55-53 with 30 seconds remaining. A charging foul gave Yakley a one-and-one with 15 seconds left. The crew-cut youngster; however, missed the 1st try with the Spartan's getting the ball off the boards. Junior 5-9 Chuck Cantrill snagged the roundball for the Red, Black and White and was quickly fouled to stop the clock. The cool youngster dropped both shots with 12 seconds left for a 57-53 lead. Yakley followed this with a charity toss that proved anti-climatic.
Big 6-3 Senior Ben Price led the Tuscarawas Valley Trojan's attack with 19 points despite his being forced into a conservative game because of personal fouls early in the game. He had 3 personals with 5:45 still remaining in the 2nd frame. Senior 6-1 Roy Buchanan and Cantrill, both chimed in with a dozen markers, while Yakley led the Maroon and Gray with 22. Sophomore 6-0 Tom Andreas and 5-10 Junior Koran Zehnder both added 12 points to the Garaway Pirate's attack as the Pirates finished out with a 13-9 overall mark.
The Trojans potted 22 of 61 heavies from the field, while the Corsairs made 20 of 51. Outrebounding the losers, TV grabbed 41 off the boards as compared to but 29 for the Bucs.
