DUANE IMMEL of the Dundee Bulldogs is their main play-maker in their meeting with the Stone Creek Golden Panthers tonight. The 5-4 Senior was a letterman last year and has stepped into a starting role to help boost the fortunes of the Bulldogs in the current season. Duane is approaching 100 points for Dundee in their 12-9 record piled up this year and is considered one of the top ball handlers on the team.
FLOYD PATRICK, 5-9 Senior, of the Stone Creek Golden Panthers (11-9) is ready to hit the floor running tonight against the Dundee Bulldogs. Floyd made the jump from the Reserve Team to a starting berth after most of the Golden Panthers' Reserve Varsity strength was lost by graduation and is also approaching 100 points for the Panthers. The Stone Creek guard has been a good defensive man as well as a good board man for the squad.
DOVER - The Strasburg Tigers, Baltic Eagles and Dundee Bulldogs take over the favorites role as the 32nd Tuscarawas County Class B Basketball Tournament gets underway in Memorial Hall starting at 6:30 today. The undefeated Strasburg Tigers (21-0) are slated to meet the Midvale Blue Devils (7-12) in the nightcap of the triple-header. Head Coach Don Martin's crew dropped the Blue Devils twice during the regular season by margins of 63-45 and 78-57.
The Baltic Eagles (16-3) tangles with the Bolivar Cardinals (1-17) in the middle contest on the opening night program and the Eagles assume their favorites' toga by virtue of an 87-43 conquest of the Cardinals during the regular season. In the 1st contest of the evening, the 2 most evenly matched teams on the first-night slate, the Stone Creek Golden Panthers (11-9) and Dundee Bulldogs (12-9), are expected to stage one of the traditional tourney-opening battles.
The Bulldogs who bowed to the Golden Panthers 74-59 in the early stages of the campaign, rate the edge because of their performances in whipping the Waynesburg Mohawks Saturday night . The Panthers; although, it still has plenty of scoring punch, will be minus the main cog used in defeating the Eagles with Jim Lorenz out of the lineup.
The doors to Memorial Hall will open at 6PM. There are no Reserved seating. Admission to the games is 75 cents for adults and 30 cents for students. The officials for the opening night will be Paul Whyte, Allen Viegel and Howard Knutsen. Each official will work 2 games.
