61 - Gnaden Slides By Tusky 55-53 (12-17-60)


In a typical rivalry, Coach Ron Sakola's club took the decision in the fading minutes of the game as Coach Aaron Miller's Broncos (0-2) (3-4) lost a 2-point lead, 49-47, with 3:04 to play.  Carl Dichler, who connected only twice from the field, put the Tribe (1-1) (3-3) ahead 51-49 with his 2 straight goals, while the eventual winners took foul shots to clinch the win in the closing minutes.  Ray Rank led the winners with 19 points, while Dave Struchen followed with 16 and Bill Blickensderfer hit 11.  Vic Vesco led the Broncos with 16 markers, while Chet Summers canned 14.  The Gnadenhutten Reserves (5-1) took on the Tuscarawas Reserves (4-2) earlier and came away with a 33-27 victory.
