DOVER - The Pirates of Garaway will play the Midvale Blue Devils (League Champions) on Thursday at 7:30 and the Stone Creek Golden Panthers will encounter the Gnadenhutten Indians at 8:45 in the semi-finals of the 36th Annual Tuscarawas County Basketball Tournament at Dover's Memorial Hall.  Winners of those 2 matches will collide Saturday night for the Tournament Championship and The Daily Reporter Trophy.  Both will advance to the Sectional Tournament, also at Memorial Hall.

Approximately 1,750 fans ignored dangerous driving conditions on Saturday night and jammed the hall for the 2nd night action in which the Pirates defeated the Tuscarawas Valley Trojans 43-34 in an erratic game and the Indians eliminated the Broncos 63-59 in a thriller.  The Trojans had decisioned the Corsairs 52-49 and 55-48 during the regular season and was slightly favored.  But Garaway gained ample revenge for those defeats just as it had done on Thursday night when it ousted the Strasburg Tigers.

The Tribesmen had whipped Tuscarawas 68-28 and 70-29 during the regular season in which it finished in 2nd place behind the Diablos in the League race.  But Tusky was an entirely different team on Saturday night, battling the Indians right down to the wire before bowing out.

The Gnadenhutten Indians (1-0) (6-2) (15-5), which scored 2 easy wins over the Tuscarawas Broncos (0-10 (1-7) (6-12) in the regular season, had to pull out all stops to decision the Broncos on Saturday night.  Both teams played top notch basketball with the score tied on 10 different occasions.

But the Indians controlled the rebounds which was the biggest single difference.  It frequently had 5 straight shots, while Tusky had to be content with one most of the time.  Each team had its big point spree in the 1st quarter which ended 18-17 in favor of Gnaden.  The action slowed down in the 2nd frame when the Tribesmen boosted its margin to 31-29 by outscoring the Riders 13 to 12.

The Blue and White's center Junior Tom Vesco, left the contest with a sprained ankle with 3 minutes remaining in the 2nd quarter.  Vesco returned to the game at the start of the 3rd stanza and the Tusky Broncos went ahead 33-31 in the 1st minute as Sophomore guard Chuck McCahill scored 2 straight field goals.  But the Scarlet and Gray tied it up and went ahead on 2 jump shots by Junior forward Ron Bradley and a free throw by Senior center Tom Roth.

The Gnadenhutten Indians stayed in the lead until about 30 seconds remained in the quarter when Junior forward Dick Robinson tied the contest at 45-45 on a free throw toss.  However, the Indians' Roth tallied on a hook shot seconds later to give the Tribesmen a 47-45 period edge.  In the final canto Gnaden spurted to a lead of 61-53 with 2:25 remaining.  Then the Broncos started a rally which netted them 6 straight points and cut the Scarlet and Gray's lead to 61-59.

The Gnaden Indians went into a stall at that point and in an attempt to gain possession Tusky had to foul Indian ball handlers and Senior guard Larry Clark hit on 2 charity tosses.  Clark paced the Indians' attack with 23 points, while Bradley had 16, Senior guard Ed Shull 11 and Roth 10.  The Riders were paced by Vesco, who hit for 18 points.  Sophomores Clarence Eckhardt and Gary Caviness were next with 13 and 11 respectively and Robinson added 10.

DOVER - Erratic shooting by both teams prevented the Garaway Pirates (2-0) (4-4) (12-10)-Tuscarawas Valley Trojans (0-1) (5-3) (11-6) game from being one of the better ones of the tournament, as was expected.  Both had their troubles in the 1st half, but the Pirates finally broke the contest wide open in the 3rd stanza with a 19-point outburst.  The Trojans hoop problems persisted until the final canto when it also scored 19 points.

Tusky Valley took a 2-0 lead in the 1st quarter on a jump shot by Senior guard Wayne Ruof, but there was no more scoring until 5:30 remained.  The Corsairs' Senior forward Bill Slemmer then notched a free throw.  Both squads continued to throw away easy scoring opportunities and the Plankmen led 8-7 at the end of the period.  The 2nd frame wasn't any better.  The best the Maroon and Gray could do was score 7 points, while the Spartans could only garner 5.  The Garaway Pirates led 14-13 at halftime.

Sophomore 6-0 center Chuck Stengel of the Pirates almost topped his team's total output for the 1st half when he led a 3rd quarter drive with 11 points.  The Gladiators meshed only 2 free throws, one by Ruof and the other by Junior 6-5 center Ben Price.  The score at the end of the period was 33-15.

The Red, Black and White, tallied 14 straight in the final canto before the Corsairs  could garner one and its lead was shaved to 34-29.  But the Plankmen settled down and went on to victory.  Stingel was the only Pirate to hit in double figures, scoring 20 points on 6 field goals and 8 free throw tosses.

One of the big factors in the Tusky Valley loss was Price's inability to score.  Although the tallest man on the court, he tallied but 6 points.  Teammate Ruof paced the Trojans with 14 points, while Wayne Buchanan added 10.

DOVER - Playing before more than 1,800 screaming fans who jammed Memorial Hall last night, the Midvale Blue Devils, Garaway Pirates and the Stone Creek Golden Panthers roared to victories in the opening round of the 36th Annual Tuscarawas County Class A Tournament.  Left behind on "heartbreak trail" of the single elimination event were the Port Washington Purple Riders, Strasburg Tigers and the Baltic Eagles, as all of the victorious teams tallied 71, 72 and the other one was 75 points.

The Pirates, which accounted for a mild surprise by sidetracking the Tigers 72-63, returns to action on Saturday night, meeting the Trojans at 7:30.  Making their debut at 8:45 will be the Gnadenhutten Indians and Tuscarawas Broncos.  As was expected the Blue Devils, the undefeated winners of the County League Crown, had little trouble in disposing of the Purple Riders 71-42.  Maintaining the victory tempo, the Golden Panthers topped the Eagles 75-67.

During the regular season, the Bengals had beaten the Spartans 56-46, but the Corsairs gained ample revenge last night.  Fans couldn't remember when the Strasburg Tigers had lost a tournament opener.  The Stone Creek-Baltic game was a "rubber" battle.  During the regular campaign the Flyers won 72-52 on its floor and the Panthers won 75-57 on its court.

The Tribesmen, which finished 2nd in the League race with a 6-2 record, enters tomorrow night's fray with 15 victories in 20 games.  Tusky, 7th in the loop, was 5-12 for the season.  Tuscarawas Valley will pit an 11-5 record against the Garaway Pirates.  The Memorial Hall doors will open at 6:30 tomorrow night.

Head Coach Ed McGlumphy's Stone Creek Golden Panthers (1-0) (5-3) (13-8) led the Baltic Eagles (0-1) (3-5) (12-9) for 3 periods, but had to stave off a late drive in the final canto.

The 1st quarter was nip and tuck with the Eagles going ahead 6- with 5:30 remaining.  The Golden Panthers took a 15-14 lead at 1:30 and was in front 17-16 as Senior center Harold Baker meshed a last-second action shot to end the period.  Baker's goal put the Panthers ahead to stay; although, their lead at times was only by one point.  The Panthers hit for 22 points, while the Flyers could only score 13 in the 2nd frame which ended 39-28.

In the 3rd stanza, the Gold and Blue increased their lead to 58-43.  Then the Baltic Eagles started a rally as the final quarter began and in 90 seconds had cut the score to 70-67.  The Cats then spurted for 5 straight points and a safe margin.  Senior forward Rod Reinhart, who averaged 23.5 points per game in the regular season, tallied 12 field goals and 9 free throws for 33 markers.  His teammate, Baker followed with 23 points and Junior Jim guard McAfee had 11.

The Orange and Black was paced by Sophomore forward John Rice's 8 floor shots and 7 free throw tosses for 25 points.  Senior guard Ron Huprich and Junior forward Sam Jacobs had 11 each and Sophomore guard Gary Gerber got 10.

DOVER - Although romping over the Port Washington Purple Riders (0-1) (0-8) (2-17), the Midvale Blue Devils (1-0) (8-0) (17-2) had a rough time getting started and didn't score its 1st goal until l3 minutes had elapsed.  But despite some erratic floor play, the Blue Devils, who had lost only 2 games over the season, forged to a 1st period lead of 19-8.

Then they began to exhibit their usual good style of basketball, hitting the nets for 24 points, while holding the out-manned Purple Riders to just 13 for a 43-21 halftime margin.  In an effort to keep the score from bulging, the 1st-line Diablos, who in regular season play had won 105-68 and 84-42 over the Riders, were replaced by the 2nd team.  It scored only 10 points as Port picked up 11 as the 3rd stanza ended 52-32.

In the final canto, Head Coach Pete Hilliard's Reserves caught fire and outscored the Riders 18 to 10 to waltz home.  First stringers Junior forward Dave Belknap and Senior center Russ Hobart along with Reserve Sophomore guard Vince DeNoi were the leading scorers for the Blue and Gold as each collected 12 points.  Sophomore guard John Landon had 11 points, while his teammate, Freshmen guard Bill Phillips, picked up 10 more for the Purple and White.

DOVER - The Garaway Pirates' accuracy at the free throw line spelled victory over the Strasburg Tigers.  The Pirates cashed 26 of 33 charity tosses for 78.8 percent, while the Tigers could only garner 9 of 16.  From the field it was a different story as the Bengals clicked for 26 to the Corsairs' 23.  During the season, the Pirates of Garaway came away with a 10-point victory against the Tigers of Strasburg 56-46 for their 6th victory of the year.

The 2 teams battled to a 13-13 deadlock in the 1st period, but the Strasburg Tigers (0-1) (4-4) (11-8) forged a small lead of 2 or 3 points.  However, the Garaway Pirates (1-0) (4-4) (11-10) pulled even at 33-33 as halftime arrived.  Opening the 3rd quarter, 6-0 Sophomore center Chuck Stengel of the Pirates hit on a free throw shot and from that point on the Corsairs were in the lead; although, never by more than 4 points.  They outscored the Cats 13 to 9 in that period which ended 46-42.

The final frame saw the Pirates of Garaway  gain its biggest lead of the night, 60-49, with 3:30 remaining.  The Garaway Pirates outpointed the Tigers 26-21 and won going away.  Head Coach Jim C. Stull's Garaway crew had 4 starters in double figures.  Stengel caged only 3 field goals, and hit for 11 free throws for 17 points and his teammate Senior forward Bill Slemmer had the same total on 7 action shots and 3 charity tosses.  Junior guard Larry Yakely was right behind them with 16 and Sophomore guard Koran Zehnder managed 12.
