DOVER - The Strasburg Tigers and the Dennison Railroaders today were cagerly awaiting their crack at the Eastern Ohio District Class B Championship and a trip to Columbus as a result of winning final games in the Eastern Ohio Northern Sectional Tournament at Memorial Hall on Saturday night.

Strasburg, victors over the Midvale Blue Devils 25-23 in an overtime sudden-death tilt and Dennison, easy winner over the Tuscarawas Broncos 35-21, draw at Dennison tonight against the Philo Electrics and New Concord Little Muskies, winners of the Eastern Ohio Southern Sectional Tournament.  Drawings will be held at 7:30PM in the Dennison High School building under supervision of Tournament Manager E.P. McCarroll and the 2 county teams will draw against the 2 other teams.  The result will be that the county teams cannot meet until the final game.

When it comes to class, the Dennison Railroaders (16-5) seem to have it for Saturday night they eliminated the Tuscarawas Broncos (4-2) (18-5) with such precision the game seemed a walk-away.  The 1st period was close, Dennison taking a 9-6 edge, but the Railroaders went in front by 17-7 by the halftime, holding Tusky's big Broncos to one point in the 2nd quarter.

With guard Dean Hunt and forward Harold Ramsey zipping 3 buckets through apiece and with their defense still clicking, the Railroaders went far ahead in the 3rd stanza, copping off a 30-13 lead and coasting through in the final period.  Hunt scored 14 points in the game and gained game honors, while Ramsey followed with 9, center Don Galbraith 6 and forward Gene Wolfe with 5 markers for Dennison.  Forward Clarence Rolli and center Fred Blackstone led Tuscarawas with 5 points apiece.

Secret of the Railroaders play seem to be that they have 5 fast and accurate passers, a man-to-man defense, which keeps their opponents from getting any kind of shots at the basket and a group of well-drilled spot shooters.  During both their Sectional games they scored an average of 10 points a period for the 1st 3 periods, while holding their opponents to 5 or less points at the same time.

A zone defense is not the least baffling to them for they pass in, out and around it like veterans and when the Berlin Blue Jays came out with a man-to-man defense the other night, the Railroaders promptly opened up with a series of block plays that worked perfectly.

NOTE:  A crowd of 1,100 which attended the Class B Sectional at Memorial Hall here Saturday night brought gate receipts up to a par with last years, Tournament Manager D.C. Lemmon announced.  Saturday night's crowd was by far the largest of the 3-day joust and helped to make up for a poor Friday night.

Box office at the tournament collected $770 from 2,287 fans who attended the 7 games, Lemmon said.  Thursday night a total of 620 students and adults attended, while Friday night only 567 were present to see the games.

Most noticeable was the large crowd from Dennison, while on the other hand Strasburg, which brought hundreds of fans with it for the county tournament, didn't seem as well represented.

39 - Strasburg Wins In Sudden-Death 25-23 (3-4-39)

Strasburg Tigers Senior Forward Maurice Bayer received game honors with his 13 point (4 field goals and 5 free throws) performance leading his team to a Sudden-Death win over the Midvale Blue Devils 25-23.


DOVER - The Strasburg Tigers' (7-0) (23-1) victory over the Midvale Blue Devils (3-2) (17-7) on Saturday night was expected...but as the score indicated it was one of those games which depend upon luck and the Burgers had it.  Still smarting under the 45-33 trouncing the Tigers gave them in the County Championship game, the Blue Devils were out for victory as they came as close to it as was possible.

The 1st quarter ended 6-5 with Strasburg ahead and the half at 14-13 with Midvale leading, but the 3rd stanza saw both teams tied at 19-all.  Defenses tightened in the final period, but the Blue Devils scored first on a long shot by Midvale's forward Frank Morrison.  Then Tiger Junior guard Fred Yenny matched it and with less than 2 minutes to go Senior guard Blake Roush sent Strasburg into a 2-point lead by scoring a field goal.  Seconds went by and only 45 were remaining when Midvale's guard Bob Baldwin sunk a long one from the center of the floor and the game ended with the score knotted at 23-23.

In the 1st minute of the "sudden-death" overtime period, the Blue Devils got no less than 6 shots at the basket, but missed every one, while the Tigers, holding its fire, attempted to work the ball in.  Roush took a pass on the side near the center circle, faked, leaped up and let fly a 2-handed jump shot which swished the net for the deciding points.

Although Roush scored only 2 field goals he was easily the hero of the game; because, he dropped them in when it counted.  Maurice Bayer, Strasburg pivotman, led the scoring with 13 points, while Bill Stevenson, Midvale's star scoring machine, was close behind with 11 markers.  Unusual was the fact that Bayer made all his team's 5 free throws and Stevenson made the Blue Devils 3 free throws.  The winners missed a foul shot and the losers missed 3.  The victory was Strasburg's 23rd in 24 games, the only loss being to the Dennison Railroaders, during the season, by an 11-point margin.  The Strasburg Tigers move on to the District Tournament.

39 - Faultering Strasburg Remains Alive Over St. Joseph 42-30 (3-3-39)

Strasburg Tigers Senior Center Lloyd "Mule" Haas earns game honors as he scores 14 points (5 field goals and 2 free throws) in leading the Tigers over the Dover St. Joseph Ramblers 42-30.


DOVER - Built up by a red-hot display of basketball at last night's 2-game session the finals of the Class B Sectional Tournament at Memorial Hall tonight will field 4 Tuscarawas County teams...the Strasburg Tigers, Dennison Railroaders, Midvale Blue Devils and Tuscarawas Broncos...fighting it out with the winners going to the District Tournament finals at Dennison next week.

Only a meager crowd of between 500 and 600 saw last night's session with the powerful Dennison Railroaders eliminating the Berlin Blue Jays of Holmes County, the last of the 4 visiting teams, 37-25 and Strasburg's Tigers finally defeating a gallant Dover St. Joseph crew 42-30.

The Dennison-Berlin game last night fairly smacked of good basketball in spots, but Head Coach Dutch Furbay's Railroaders led the Blue Jays at every turn and it was not near as interesting as the Strasburg-Dover St. Joseph tilt.  In fact, for 3 periods Head Coach Max Kratz's Ramblers threatened to reach down in the bag and pull out the granddaddy of all upsets before Head Coach Paul M. Roby's County Champs hit the bucket with dead-eye accuracy in the final period to score 20 points and clinch the victory.

How the Ramblers...supposedly one of the weakest teams in the tournament...could ever compile their bad record of 6 wins and 13 defeats is a mystery in the face of the way they played in last night's contest.  They checked the Burgers at every turn, matched basket for basket and free throw for free throw for 3 periods before Strasburg led by Senior center Lloyd "Mule" Haas' long shots, could get command of the game.

Notice of what was coming was served in the opening period when the Dover St. Joseph Ramblers (6-14) snatched off a 6-4 lead in the 1st quarter, but the crowd didn't get wise until halftime when the Strasburg Tigers (6-0) (22-1) had to score a field goal in the last few seconds to knot the count at 12-12.  Both teams were exactly even at the intermission in number of field goals made, free throws counted and personal fouls on players...the only one exception being that the Tigers missed one more free throw than did the Ramblers.

The 3rd period went on and still St. Joseph failed to weaken and knoted the count at every turn until the last minutes of the quarter.  Then Haas started his scoring spree by dropping in 2 long shots which didn't even touch the hoop and gave Strasburg a 22-18 lead.  Strasburg even then didn't have the game in the bag for midway in the 4th stanza the Tigers led by only 27-22, after which came the deluge of baskets and the Ramblers, still trying desperately though not wildly, couldn't match it.

Haas led the scoring with 12 points, including 5 field goals he made in the last half, while forward Rich Kennedy of Dover St. Joseph was close behind with 5 classy fielders for 10 points.  Senior guard Blake Roush scored 9 for the Tigers and Senior forward Maurice Bayer 7, while guard Billy Cox dropped in 7 markers for the Ramblers.  Referees Jimmy Morgan and Ralph Sundheimer called a total of 13 fouls on St. Joseph and 7 on Strasburg, all the Tigers' penalties being assessed in the 1st half.

SATURDAY (TONIGHT'S) SCHEDULE

Strasburg vs Midvale
Dennison vs Tusky

39 - Tusky Rolls Over Holmesville 36-23 (3-2-39)

Tuscarawas Broncos Senior Center Fred Blackstone is awarded game honors on his 14 point (6 field goals and 2 free throws) performance in leading his team to a 36-23 triumph over the Holmesville Golden Bears.


DOVER - The Strasburg Tigers, Midvale Blue Devils and Tuscarawas Broncos, 3 of the county's entrants in the Class B Sectional Tournament at Memorial Hall here, barely eked out wins in the tournament opened last night, eliminating 2 of Holmes County and one Carroll County teams.

To say the 3 county teams won is enough in tournament play where one slip means the end, but Strasburg put on a last-minute rally to defeat the Millersburg Knights 44-39, Midvale scored a field goal in the last seconds to defeat the Sherrodsville Rockets 30-29 and Tuscarawas got up enough steam to eliminate the Holmesville Golden Bears 36-23.  The crowd at the opening session was small...not over 500 paid customers attending according to Tournament Manager D.C. Lemmon...but thrills were plentiful for supporters of the competing teams.

In the final game of the evening, the Tuscarawas Broncos (4-1) (18-4)...depended upon 6-foot 4-inch  Senior center Fred Blackstone, to give them a victory over the Holmesville Golden Bears (10-6) of Holmes County.

The game was featured only by the misplaysof the 2 teams, but Tusky mustered enough passwork to lead by 9-4 at the 1st quarter, 18-11 at the half and 22-19 at the 3rd period.  In the final quarter, the Broncos scored 14 points to the Golden Bears' 4 markers to put the game on solid ice.

Blackstone led the scoring with 14 points, while Holmesville forward Vincent was next with 8 points (3 field goals and 2 free tosses).  Jimmy Morgan of New Philadelphia and Ralph Sundheimer of Walnut Creek refereed all games.

39 - Midvale Escapes...Sherrodsville 30-29 (3-2-39)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Midvale Blue Devils Senior Center Bill Stevenson, the team's ace scorer, dropped in 14 points on 5 field goals and 4 free throws in gaining game honors as the Blue Devils just got by the Sherrodsville Rockets 30-29.


DOVER - A mediocre 1st half robbed the Sherrodsville Rockets (19-4) of a victory over the Midvale Blue Devils (3-1) (16-7), but it took a field goal in the last few seconds by substitute forward Stafford to give the Blue Devils its 30-29 victory.

Midvale, with Senior forward Big Bill Stevenson clicking regularly, piled up a 9-3 advantage at the 1st quarter and increased it to 19-10 at the half, while the Rockets, getting numerous good shots at the basket, failed to hit on a regular basis.  But, as the 2nd half started, Sherrodsville tossed a man-to man defense on the floor and right then and there Midvale's superiority ceased.

Stevenson couldn't get open nor could his teammates get a good set shot at the basket and when the 3rd stanza was ended the Carroll County team was behind 23-20.  At the start of the final period, Carroll, stocky Sherrodsville forward, dropped 3 action shots and pushed the Rockets into a 29-25 lead with 3 minutes to go.

Baldwin dropped in an action shot for Midvale and forward Frank Morrison a free throw to pull the Blue Devils within one point, but time was going fast and only 10 seconds remained when Stafford attempted a shot from under the basket.  His arm was knocked down by Carroll, but the ball went straight up in the air, bobbled crazily and dropped in to put Midvale in the lead.  Stafford missed the free throw he was awarded on the play.  Defeat for Sherrodsville was even more bitter for in the last few seconds, the Rockets guard Kick hurled a long shot which hit the bankboard, dipped around the hoop and fell off.

Stevenson's 14 points, 13 of which were made in the 1st half, led the scoring for both teams, while Carroll of Sherrodsville was next with 10 points.  Midvale missed 10 of 16 free throws and Sherrodsville 6 of 11.

39 - Strasburg Downs Millersburg 44-39 (3-2-39)

Strasburg Tigers Senior Forward Maurice Bayer led his team to victory over the Millersburg Knights 44-39 and in so doing picked up game honors in the 1st game of the Sectional Tournament.  He picked off 15 points (6 field goals and 3 free throws).


DOVER - The Strasburg Tigers (5-0) (21-1), the strongest team in the county League this year and winner of the county League and tournament titles, found no soft touch in the Millersburg Knights (9-9) and won the game only through a 3rd period rally before 2 of its best men went out on fouls.

Both teams were hot in the 1st quarter and scored point for point to wind up the period in an 11-11 tie, but in the 2nd stanza, right out of the box, the Burgers took the edge sweeping into a 29-23 lead at intermission.

With Senior forward Maurice Bayer scoring repeatedly on his pivot play, the Tigers grabbed a 36-26 lead late in the 3rd period before Senior center Lloyd "Mule" Haas and Senior guard Blake Roush were ejected on personal fouls and from then on the going got tough.  Strasburg ran the score to 41-28 early in the 4th period and then the Knights ran wild, sinking shots from all angles and stealing the ball for sucker shots to run their score to 39 points with only 2 minutes to play.  But, the rally fizzled out when Senior guard Bob Spidell dropped in a basket and Senior forward Loren Miller scored a free throw shot to give the Tigers their 5-point advantage.

Bayer led the scoring for both teams with 15 points, while Hitchcock, big Spartan center, led Millersburg with 12 (3 field goals and 6 free throws).  Forward Close scored 11 markers for the Knights and Roush made 10 points for the Burgermeisters.
