36 - Strasburg Creams Dundee 35-21 (2-29-36)

Strasburg Tigers Senior Forward John "Sparkie" Sparks hit the hoops for 13 points in leading his team to victory over the scrapping Dundee Bulldogs 35-21.


DOVER - Six-year Head Coach Paul M. Roby's Strasburg Tigers (3-1) (35-7) advanced to the Consolation Tournament Championship by defeating the Dundee Bulldogs (2-2) (12-16) by 14 points with the scoreboard showing 35-21 in the 2nd contest on Saturday afternoon.  The Tigers were in fine form for the semi-final game and displayed good basketball skill.

With Strasburg placing 7th in the League with only a 5-5 record this season, Coach Roby appears to have whipped his team back into shape for a run at the Consolation Championship with a 3-1 tournament record so far.  Dundee showed a record of 6-4 while placing 5th in the League standings and was a consistent problem knocking off top teams in the League and during tournament play.

Senior foward John "Sparkie" Sparks led his team with 13 points (5 field goals and 3 free throws) and tieing Dundee's center Dick Kobel for game honors with 13 points.  Tiger forward Charles "Bud" Reiger also hit double figures as he hit the rings for another 10 points (4 field goals and 2 free throws).  Kobel's 13 points (5 field goals and 3 free throws) was high for Dundee.

NOTE:  The games were played before a capacity crowd of nearly 1,500 fans, who jammed Legion Hall long before game time and hung on for the final and lopsided Strasburg-Stone Creek Consolation contest which saw the Tigers take the Creekers 36-17 in easy stages with the Tiger Reserves playing the entire 2nd half.

Sugarcreek-Shanesville and Bolivar have met twice this season and their 3rd game at 9PM tonight for the Championship, is a saw-off, promising to be one of the feature basketball performances of the county's entire season.

In a League fracas at Sugarcreek early on the schedule, the Pirates thumped the Cardinals 46-40.  In the 2nd half of the season, in a non-league game, Bolivar turned the tables and handed the Pirates a 40-25 trouncing on the Bolivar boards. (Clyde Shaffer, The Daily Reporter)

36 - Sugarcreek-Shanesville Trounces Dundee 29-17 (2-28-36)

DOVER - Last bid of the Tuscarawas County Class B Basketball Tournament Championship and the Daily Reporter Trophy was shunted aside last night as the Bolivar Cardinals and Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates qualified for the finals tonight by winning semi-final games and clinching the title for the Northern Division Section.

The Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates (3-0) (22-12) turned back the tournament's dark horse, Dundee Bulldogs (2-1) (12-15) 29-17 in a one-sided game in which the Eagles failed to rise to the occasion as it has several times previously during the season.  The Pirate victory also avenged a League defeat. 

Dundee, which gave the Midvale Blue Devils its toughest game during the season and then upset the Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates for a parting League shot, went down almost without a struggle before the Pirates' slashing attack last night.  Hampered by injuries, the Eagles were off form and no match for Head Coach Sundheimer's swashbucklers.  The latter very promptly took a 10-2 lead in the 1st period and operated the game along the lines they pleased.  They led 14-4 at the half and Dundee hadn't yet found the hoop from the field.  Center Dick Kobel came through with 2 buckets in the 3rd period to pace the Dundee club in a 6 point attack, but Sugarcreek-Shanesville, with every man contributing to the scoring, kept pace with 5 points to lead 19-10 as the final chukker opened.  There the Pirates grabbed 10 points, while giving Dundee seven.

Junior guard John Harmon with 8 points (2 field goals and 4 free throws) and Senior forward Dallas Hamsher with 7 markers (3 field goals and a free throw), led the Pirate scorers of Head Coach Bob Lanzer.  Kobel and Machan, with 5 each (2 filed goals and 1 free throw), were high for the Dundee Bulldogs.

23 - Bolivar Upsets Midvale 30-18 (2-28-36)

DOVER - The Bolivar Cardinals (2-0) (17-12), redeeming itself for 2 early season League defeats and avenging one of them, sent the Champion Midvale Blue Devils (1-1) (15-10) into the Consolation Division with the season's biggest upset:  Bolivar 30 - Midvale 18.

Last night the Cardinals seemed to be invincible.  Using superior height to every advantage and playing heads-up ball along with it, they turned the Blue Devils back without permitting the Champions to assume a threatening position.  Unbeaten in 16 previous games this season, the Champions made a bid in the final period and succeeded in outscoring Bolivar 7-3, but were unable to reach their goal.  Pitted against the rangy Cardinals, the Blue Devils were unable to get those valuable follow-up shots under the basket.  And, with the zone-line and long-shots missing, they seldom had possession of the ball.  They went until the final minutes of the 2nd period before getting a single follow-up shot and there they got 3, sinking one for their first field goal.

Bolivar; meanwhile, with Senior center Paul Class and guard Kermit Lebold setting the pace, garnered 20 points and led the game 20-4 when the half ended.  Midvale was shut out completely the 1st period, missing 4 free throws, while Bolivar potted 11 points on 4 baskets and 3 fouls.  The 2 teams scored 7 points apiece in the 3rd period when Bolivar abandoned its scoring attack to protect its already imposing lead.  The quarter ended with the Cardinals leading 27-11.  With their 3rd period showing, the Champions staged a strong comeback in the 4th period to outscore Bolivar by a 7-3 margin, but the lack of follow-up shots was still apparent.

Class, led the scoring with 10 points for the Cardinals, while Kermit Lebold hit the hoops for 8 points.  Guard Frank Baumholtz, high-scoring Midvale star, was turned back with 7 points, the same number accounted for by Bolivar's guard Ward Kreis.

36 - Dundee "Bad Medicine" Stops Tusky 22-18 (2-22-36)

Tuscarawas Broncos Senior Forward Allen Veigel leads his team in scoring with 5 points in a losing cause, while he and his team head for the Consolation Tournament.


DOVER - Refusing to stay put and continuing their role as the "Bad Medicine" of the county's Class B circuit, the Dundee Bulldogs (2-0) (12-14) plastered their upset of the Tuscarawas Broncos (1-1) (7-14) into place in the final period of their hard fought contest with a 22-18 victory on Saturday night.

The Bulldogs were leading only 14-13 when the final period opened and they stretched that lead to 4 points before the gun cracked.  A crackup in the 3rd quarter almost resulted in the upsetters being upset.  Dundee, after trailing 4-2 in the opener, took a 12-5 command in the 2nd and then nearly lost it in the third stanza.

Center Dick Kobel, of Dundee and tricky one-handed shooter, hit the ring from action 3 times and another 3 from the free throw line to amass 9 points and lead all scorers.  The Veigel brothers, who tore into the Mineral City Tigers with 26 points between them on Friday night, were held to only 8 points by the Eagles.  Senior forward Allen Veigel got 5 points (1 field goal and 3 free throws) to lead his team and his brother, Junior center Lester Veigel, picked up three markers (a field goal and a free throw).

The one upset...if it can be called that...was darkhorse Dundee's triumph over Tuscarawas one of the 4 seeded teams.
