DOVER - Under the Consolation Tournament plan which was made a part of the Tuscarawas County Class B Basketball Tournament this year, each team must lose 2 games before it is turned completely away from the chance to go to the Sectional Tournament and thus far, only the Baltic Eagles, Bolivar Cardinals, Gnadenhutten Indians and New Cumberland Trojans have been shoved out the door. In Saturday's contests, Gnadenhutten defeated Bolivar 27-19, but was eliminated by the Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates 27-21; New Cumberland lost to the Tuscarawas Broncos 33-11; and Baltic fell before the Stone Creek Panthers 21-11. Thus Tuscarawas, Sugarcreek-Shanesville, Stone Creek and the Port Washington Purple Riders...which will play its 1st Consolation game next Friday...are left in the race. They will be joined by the losing semi-finalists of the regular tournament next week.
A juggled lineup which shifted John Harmon from guard to forward and Harold Arnold from forward to guard was presented by Sugarcreek-Shanesville as the Pirates eliminated Gnaden 27-21 Saturday night. The shifted Harmon scored 8 points to lead the field in scoring. Sugarcreek-Shanesville led the entire way. It seemed a case of who-can-run-the-longest-wins-the-game in the Baltic-Stone Creek fray which the latter club copped by a 21-11 count after trailing through the 1st half. They led 11-0 at the start of the final period and scored 10 points in it, while holding the Eagles to two. Paul Wherley of Stone Creek was high scorer with 7 points. Ike Sruchen of Gnadenhutten scored 18 points and Paul Class of Bolivar led 16-13 at the half and the Indians led 23-17 at he start of the final period. The youngsters who wore the colors of New Cumberland were hardly a match for the experienced Tuscarawas tossers and were humbled 33-11 in their final appearance. The Broncos Head Coach Charmus Davis substituted freely, but any combnation he used outscored the Trojans. Ralph Moore and Allen Veigel of Tusky tied for scoring honors with 8 points each.
