NEW PHILADELPHIA - The Port Washington Eagles (1-0) defeated the Tuscarawas Broncos (0-1) by just 4 points in the opening game of the Tuscarawas County Basketball Class B Tournament at the Junior High School gymnasium on Friday night. The contest was one of 2 played in the initial round. Six other teams drew a bye. The Eagles team assumed the lead at the beginning of the game and was ahead every period except the first, though hard pressed at all times. Only the excellent work of Senior Joe Evans at center and Sophomore Earl Wheland at forward kept the winners in the lead.
At the end of the 1st quarter Port was on the short end of a 6 to 4 count. Things looked bad for them before they finally came to life and managed to lead the Tuscies by 2 points at the half. The score was 15-13. After the rest period, Port Washington put on a spurt and tallied 11, while the best Broncos could do was 5 points. They put on a desperate rally in the final session; however, and almost managed to tie the score, falling short by 4 markers. Senior forward Van Adamson was the shining light for the losers.
