DOVER - In the semi-final game Saturday afternoon, the Strasburg Tigers (3-0) (10-3) looked much better than their favored opponents, the Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates (1-1) (7-2). Strasburg Senior forward Leland Huth was the main cog in the Strasburg scoring wheel that sent them into a winning score of 35 points. Huth scored 6 field goals and 5 foul shots out of 8 attempts from the free throw line for 17 points. He broke up numerous plays of the Sugarcreek combine and worked the ball into scoring position for his team.
