SATURDAYS OTHER GAME

Dennison 32 - Dresden 26

NOTE:  Dennison defeated Dresen earlier on Saturday afternoon and was the Strasburg opponent Saturday night for the District Championship.

33 - Strasburg Gets By Byesville 25-18 (3-10-33)

DENNISON - It's too bad that 2 such teams as the Strasburg Tigers (6-0) and the Byesville Colts had to meet in the 1st round of the tournament.  The game the 2 played last night can easily be put down as one of the best 3 or 4, that have been played in Tuscarawas County this season.  Playing steady, smooth and cooly, the teams went through the 1st three periods on even footing and when they started into the last canto, Byesville led by 1 point with the score 18-17.

The score was tied 5-5 at the close of the 1st period and at 12-12 at halftime.  Early in the 3rd period, the Colts splurted to the front and at one time had the Tigers on the short end of an 18-12 count.  Strasburg rallied to close the gap.  All the fine defensive ball both teams played in the 3 first periods and it was exceptional, was completely eclipsed by the performance of the Champion Tigers in the 4th period when they held Byesville scoreless, while adding 8 points to their own score.  John "Johnny" Studer, ace forward of Strasburg, was high scorer with 10 points counted on 4 field goals and 2 free throws.  Droltz, Colt guard and worthy foe of any Class A player, was 2nd high with eight.

33 - Strasburg Outlasts Newcomerstown 31-23 (3-5-33)

DOVER - Strasburg, Dennison, Coshocton Sacred Heart and Amsterdam High Schools will represent the Eastern Ohio District at the District Basketball Tournament at Dennison on Friday and Saturday as a result of play-offs at Legion Hall Saturday.  Strasburg, Champions of Tuscarawas County, defeated Newcomerstown 31-23; Dennison eliminated Sugarcreek-Shanesville 33-29 in overtime; Sacred Heart defeated Dover St. Joseph's 27-24 and Amsterdam downed Cadiz 32-26.

The Strasburg Tigers (5-0) was easily the outstanding team of the day's play; although, the Dennison Railroaders furnished the nearest to an upset by its elimination of the Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirates.  Junior forward John "Johnny" Studer, one of the county's outstanding players...Class A or B...led the Tigers to the kill.  He accounted for 20 of the winners' points, pouring 16 of them through the nettings in the last half.  The Newcomerstown Trojans, the county's rangiest team, were quite unable to cope with the situation presented by Mr. Studer.  Strasburg was only mediocre through the 1st half; although, leading 7-4 at the quarter and 13-10 at the half.  In the 3rd period they opened the barrage and netted 13 points to their opponents' 7 to hold a 26-17 lead as the final quarter started.

The Trojans made a strong bid for supremacy in the 4th period, when they outscored the Tigers 7 to 5, but the Champions held tightly to the winning lead.  Senior guard Bill Jones, counted 2 fielders and a free throw for 5 points to follow Studer in Strasburg's scoring.  Forward McElhaney of Newcomerstown, led the Trojans with 8 points...3 field goals and a foul toss.

33 - Dennison Trips-Up Sugarcreek-Shanesville In OT 33-29 (3-4-33)

DOVER - The Dennison Railroaders battled uphill through 3 periods and into an overtime stanza to scuttle the Sugarcreek-Shanesville Pirate ship (4-2) by a 33-29 count.  The teams were tied 3-3 at the end of the opening period, but the Railroaders held a 12-11 lead at the half.  The Pirates swept to the fore and led 23-19 at the end of the 3rd period.  Dennison tied the count at 28-28 at the end of regular time.  Guard Zimmerman produced the knot with a free throw in the last 3 seconds of play for the eventual winners.  At one time in the period, Sugarcreek-Shanesville held a 26-20 advantage.

Guard Bente and center Bridgeman of the Railroaders, both contributed field goals and Bridgeman flipped through a foul in the extra period to account for Dennison's points.  The Pirates' scoring was confined to 1 free throw by center Harold Logsdon in the overtime period.  Dennison's Bridgeman led the scoring with 12 points which made him high scorer of the tournament with 48 points in 3 games, while guard Dean Norris was high for Sugarcreek with 9, four field goals and a foul toss.

33 - Dundee Falls 30-27 to Cadiz (3-3-33)

DOVER - The Dundee Bulldogs (1-2) played sweet ball in the Eastern Ohio Sectional Class B Basketball Tournament fracas at Legion Hall last night only to be downed 30-27 in the final minutes of play by Cadiz.  The Bulldogs, the only Tuscarawas County team to fall by the wayside, took a 7-4 lead at the 1st quarter and at halftime still commanded a 3-point lead, 15-12.  They increased their advantage to 22-16 at the 3rd period mark, but midway in the 4th quarter the winners had the score all bundled up at 25-24.

33 - Strasburg Coasts Against Carrollton 29-9 (3-3-33)

DOVER - The Strasburg Tigers (4-0) looked like a Class A Club last night when they humiliated a snappy Carrollton Warriors outfit, 29-9, in the 3rd game of last night's tournament session at Legion Hall.  The regulars blanked the Warriors 20-0 the entire 1st half and Head Coach Paul M. Roby ran in an entire 2nd team before the 3rd period was well under way.  The end of 3rd period found the Tigers up 24-0 and in the 4th and final period each team picked up 9 points each.

The winners looked like the Champions they are that 1st half with their regulars.  Junior forward John "Johnny" Studer, unstoppable, rattled 5 shots through the cords from a pivot position for 10 points under the basket and Sophomores forward Bill "Doddles" Haas and center George Denzer also stood out for Strasburg.  The Tigers will collide with the Newcomerstown Trojans' rangy outfit tonight and will be favorites to win and advance to the District finals at Dennison next week-end.
