NOTE: From RIGHT DOWN THE LINE With Art Cicconetti
The Dover St. Joseph Ramblers' drew one of the top Class B teams in the area in Tuscarawas and the Ramblers didn't have too much choice. All of the brackets were filled by the time it came around for St. Joseph's representatives to pick their spot. The only one left was Tusky.
The Strasburg Tigers got a reprieve when they got 1st crack. The Tigers won't see action until Friday and Senior guard John Shetler, who is in Washington DC for a physical examination in connection with his asppointment to West Point, will be back at least by Friday.
There are probably some teams who should be here, but won't because of the county tournament hassles. The big one missing is Big Prairie. The Bulldogs were upset by the Killbuck Bucks for the Holmes county Crown Thursday night and then fell before the Glenmont Indians in their Consolation Division contest on Saturday.
