32 - Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates Fall 35-21 (3-19-32)

COLUMBUS - A defense that cracked in the 2nd half cost the Pirates of Sugarcreek-Shanesville (9-2) victory in a semi-final game at the State Tournament in Columbus on Saturday afternoon.  Ostrander eliminated the Pirates 35-21 and then lost to Castalia, the new State Champion, in the title contest Saturday night.  For 3 quarters the Pirates held Ostrander to a close score.  The victors led at the 1st period 12-6, but Junion forward Boyd Burkey dropped in 4 successive field goal's from long range and the score was tied at 15 at the half.

The Pirates still were within striking distance at the end of the 3rd period with Ostrander leading by only 23-19.  The losers failed to check their men in the final heat and Ostrander went on to win by a comfortable margin.  The Pirates tallied only one field goal in the 3rd and 4th quarters, a long shot by Burkey.  Burkey chalked up 2 free throws and center Harold Logsdon and Senior Captain guard Sylvester Harmon one each to make the Sugarcreek-Shanesville total 6 points for the 2nd half.  Senior Ken Ricker was chased on 4 personal fouls in the 4th period.  Burkey was high scorer with 6 field goals and 3 free throws for a total of 15 points.  Harmon and Senior guard Hugo Wassem, who played a sensational game throughout the tournament and was directly responsible for the 28-27 victory over Stewart on Friday night, each chalked a field goal.

Freshwater, Ostrander's great star, chalked up 10 points, but was topped by Hutchinson, who tallied 16.

NOTE:

1ST TEAM

Forward - Mix, Castalia
Forwasrd - Hutchinson, Ostrander
Center - Slagel, Dayton
Guard - Freshwater, Ostrander
Guard - Shale, Garrett

Ostrander rose to great heights and placed 2 men onl the mythical All-Ohio 1st team.  Freshwater was the mainstay of the team and easily was the best hand at the tournament in dribbling the ball down the floor.  He even dribbled the ball back through his legs.  Hutchinson, from the same team, played brilliantly.  Ostrander has no home floor and its team goes to Delaware once a week to practice.
