28 - 6th Annual Tuscarawas County Class B Basketball Tournament
DOVER - Ten towns, 80 uniformed basketball players and scores of fans interested in county Class B schools, will take part in the Annual Tuscarawas County Class B Cage Tournament Friday night and Saturday all day at Junior High Gymnasium in New Philadelphia. With all plans completed, the tourney is to get under way at the gymnasium Friday night with a bang promptly at 7:30 with 2 games in the initial round to be played off that night. The 2nd round of the tourney gets under way Saturday morning promptly at 9AM with 4 games to be played off, then at 2PM that afternoon 2 more games will be played in the 3rd and semi-final round to see what teams will battle Saturday at 7:30PM for the county title. W.O Young, of Canton, McKinley high school physical director and well known Stark County official, will have charge of the tournament officiating. Official scorers for the tourney are J.H. Selzer, Baltic and Mr. Conradi, Tuscarawas. Official times are J.T. Walker, Bolivar and Ralph Lohrman, Dover.
The following teams will participate:
Baltic Eagles
Bolivar Cardinals
Dundee Bulldogs
Gnadenhutten Indians
Midvale Blue Devils
Mineral City Tigers
Port Washington Eagles
Strasburg Tigers
Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates
Tuscarawas Broncos
In the 1st game to be played on Friday night, Port Washigton should win in the 1st round from Tuscarawas. Baltic will probably give Strasburg a battle in the 2nd round, but the Franklin Township boys are favorites to win in the 2nd game of the 1st round that same night. On Saturday, Dundee probably will take Midvale into camp...Gnadenhutten should win from Mineral City. Probably the most interesting game will follow the Gnadenhutten-Mineral City game when Bolivar takes on the Sugarcreek-Shanesville cagemen.
Bolivar and Sugarcreek in the county league series this season, tied for the topnotch position in the race. Both won the same number of games and lost only 1 contest. They meet not only to decide which team shall remain longer than one game in the county tourney, but also to decide which shall have rightful claim to the county league toga. The result is a toss-up.
