The current basketball season is a long way from being over, but it looks like Strasburg once again is the team to be reckoned with in the Tuscarawas County Class B shoot-and-dribble sport. Previous victors over Midvale, the smooth-operating Bengals stopped another unbeaten skein last night when they smacked down Gnadenhutten 73-65. The victory was their eighth in a row and fifth in league action, left them as the county's only outfit with a clean slate and put them in a tie with Midvale for league leadership. Gnadenhutten, which certainly can't be ruled out of the race, had won nine in a row (three in the league) before the blazing Bengals tutored by young Ken Newlon applied the crusher. Midvale tacked up its fifth league win and its eighth in nine engagements at Bolivar where the Cardinals staged a surprisingly good fight before yielding 46-43. While in other league frays Sugarcreek-Shanesville turned the tables on Port Washington 65-58, Mineral City bested Dundee's Bulldogs 94-89 in an overtime duel and Tuscarawas came back in the second half to upend Stone Creek by a 73-68 count. Today Gnadenhutten was the occupant of third place in the county circuit followed by the Sugarcreek-Shanesville combination. Stone Creek and Port are tied for fifth.*
