Strasburg's Tigers are champions of the Tuscarawas County Class B Basketball League once again! Coach Don Martin's Tigers tried the crown on for size last night at Sugarcreek and it fit nicely as they clipped off their 10th victory in league play and 19th straight on the season by tripping the Pirates 63-55. Tuscarawas clinched sole possession of second place by pinning a surprisingly overwhelming defeat onto the Baltic Eagles. Coach Chuck Lorenz's Broncos rocked the challenging Eagles 86-63. The big news of the evening came in from Bolivar where the Cardinals collected their forces and staved off a complete shutout of the season by defeating the Stone Creek Panthers 58-52 for their first triumph of the campaign. Port Washington's galloping Purple Riders stayed on the victory trail by taming the Mineral City Tigers 82-69 while Gnadenhutten outscored Midvale 71-63 in the other two loop contests. Dundee, which completed the league season last week, closes out the season at home tonight when the co-champions of the Stark County League, the Waynesburg Mohawks, invade the Bulldogs' kennel.*
