DOVER - The Stone Creek Golden Panthers (1-0) (6-15) earlier in the season lost an overtime game to the Tuscarawas Broncos (0-1) (15-22), but last night the Golden Panthers turned the tables entirely with a 25-24 victory that set their supporters in a frenzy as the Tusky Five went down.
Stone Creek took a 3-1 lead in the 1st quarter, when neither team was able to dent the cords from action for the full 8 minutes, but in the 2nd period both teams got moving and Stone Creek led at the half 13-12. The 3rd period saw the Broncos shake loose to take an 18-17 lead and run it up to 20-17 early in the 4th stanza. With only 4 minutes remaining the Golden Panthers rallied, guard Jim Arbogast scoring a free throw and forward Bill Ridenour tossing in a short action shot which tied the count at 20-all with a minute left to play.
Guard Ed Arbogast sent Stone Creek into the lead,with only 45 seconds to go when he dropped in his free throw, but Tusky guard Dick Schumacher tied the count at 21-21 with a free throw in the last 20-seconds. The 3 minute overtime saw Ridenour come through with 2 field goals for the Golden Panthers and forward Charles Eckhardt scored an action shot and forward Bill Cox a free toss for the Broncos.
Stone Creek tossed in 11 of 24 free throws and Tuscarawas made 10 of 19 in the contest which saw the Panthers assessed 16 personals and the Broncos 18. Forward Ralph Kilehenmann, Stone Creek forward, was high scorer in the game, turning in 9 points, while Ridenour's 7 points, all in the last half, counted heavily. Guard Angelo Cerqui scored 7 markers to lead Tusky. The Panthers lost guard Wayne Kugler on personals and the Broncos lost guard Howard Myers and Cerqui.

NOTE: The Stone Creek Golden Panthers, according to Head Coach George Holmes, had a squad of 21 candidates including 7 lettermen to form this year's basketball team. Veterans returning this year were Gil Mizer who would replace Vic Turner at Center, who was lost from last year's team by graduation and Ed Arbogast, Don Buehler, Ralph Kilchenman, Wayne Kugler, Bill Ridenour and Dale Wherley. This is Coach Holmes' 2nd year at Stone Creek.
At Tuscarawas, although his athletic program had been upset by the tragedy which marked the final 6-man football game of the season when Charles Kohler, a stellar performer, was fatally injured, Head Coach Charmis Davis, working on his 13th year at Tusky, lacked height in this season's squad, but believed that his Broncos would make up for it in speed and experience.
He had 5 lettermen returning and a group of 15 others in which he had the necessary replacements and 2nd line of defense. Verterans are Angelo Cerqui, Warren Crites, Lester Meese, Charles Meyers and Charles Eckhardt. Kohler also had been a letterman. Others who would supply the remainder of the varsity and reserve squads were: Phil Meese, Howard Myers, Bob Davis, John Galanti, Herbert Stemple, Dick Walton, James Veigel, Radames Boni, Clarence Mezger and Phil Lahm.
