Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates Forward Marne "Blick" Blickensderfer hit the hoops for 15 points (5 field goals and 5 free throws) in leading his team to a 51-28 crushing victory over the Millersburg Knights.
DOVER - The Strasburg Tigers and the Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates wham-de-doodled down victory Lane at Memorial Hall last evening as the Sectional Class B High School Basketball Tournament broke loose to a roaring start before 1,500 customers, but that old tourney jinx hounded Dover's St. Joseph's right out into the street again with its annual 1st-round loss. The Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates (5-0) humiliated the Millersburg Knights 51-28 and Holme County's Berlin Hawks had just enough to decision the Dover St. Joseph's Ramblers 36-34.
The team that looked really tough; however, was Sugarcreek-Shanesville. Boasting not a regular from last season, the boys displayed a power-house last night without seeming to actually turn on the heat. They grabbed an 8-1 lead at the 1st quarter and clinched the game with a 27-13 control at halftime and a 38-21 advantage at the 3-quarter mark. The Millersburg scramblers were beaten before they pulled their shoes on, judging from the rangy, potential power that was there and spiritless exhibition that they turned in; although, the winners were by far the rightful winners. They are coming along fast...they play hard and smart...they are well-balanced and smooth.
Game honors was held by Pirate forward Marne "Blick" Blickensderfer who poured in 15 points, while forward Don Shepfer was right behind with 11 markers. Millersburg was led by their center, Fair, with a total of 6 points.

NOTE: Allen Veigel, Tuscarawas High School Broncos' famous no-hit, no-run baseball pitcher, will do his mound work this season for the Clarksdale team of the Cotton States League, according to Billy Evans of the Boston Red Sox owners of Veigel's contract. Veigel last season pitched with the Mansfield team of the Ohio State League and operated as one of the circuit's outstanding twirlers. The move is a definite boost for Veigel.
