DENNISON - Functioning in brilliant and determined form, the Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates (6-1) defeated Bethesda 44-33 in the opening game of the Class B District Tournament at Dennison this afternoon. The Pirates' hardest battle came in the 3rd quarter when Bethesda made 13 points, while the Tuscarawas County entry made only 9, but in the final quarter the locals spurted to an easy victory.
Junior forward Boyd Burkey made 15 points and not a member on the team made less than six. Sugarcreek-Shanesville had a total of 16 field goals to 14 for their opponents and pitched 12 fouls to their opponent's five. Malvern has forfeited to St. John's of Bellasire, because of a measles epidemic at Malvern. This game was to have been played this afternoon. As a result Sugarcreek-Shanesville meets the Bellaire team tomorrow morning.
