Tuscarawas Broncos (9-1)(13-1) remained among the elite with a hard-earned victory over Port Washington's Purple Riders (5-3)(9-7) last night. The Broncos led most of the way, trailing 9-5 at one stage in the opening tussle and again 33-32 in the second period. Coach Chuck Lorenz's crew posted quarter leads of 19-15, 37-33 and 58-52. Ralph Vesco was high in the scoring column for Tusky as he tallied 18, Dick Davis, substitute guard, was also a standout for the Broncos as he meshed 14. Paul Frank was high for the Purple Riders with 21 while Ken Huston had 19 and Larry Combs 15. Port came close in the closing stages of the game when the count was 71-67, but Harry Thompson iced the tilt on a jump shot after Vesco and Terry Deems had cashed in on foul shots. It was a Tusky sweep as the Reserves won 53-41 and the Grades beat Port, once again, 19-9.*
