60 - Tusky Scores Only 4 Points In 3rd Quarter In 56-45 Loss (12-19-59)

Strasburg (2-1) (4-3) showed overall improvement in its victory over Tuscarawas and , according to Coach Warren Binder, may finally be arriving. The Tiger defense was particularly outstanding as it picked up 31 rebounds off the defensive backboards. It also limited the Broncos (2-1) (4-2) to 48 attempts from the field. Strasburg played without regular Walt Krantz, who is sidelined with a bad virus. However, Krantz attended the game in street clothes and was taken home immediately following the battle. Gary Caviness continued with his red hot shooting for Tuscarawas as he poured in 27 points. He was the only Bronco in double figures as Strasburg concentrated its efforts on stopping Tuscarawas as a team rather than pick on any individual. Tuscarawas' downfall came in the third period when it scored only 4 points. The Broncos hit on 15 of the 48 shots for 31 percent. Strasburg, paced by Frank Wallick and Bill Seese with 15 points each, meshed 21 of 54 from the field for 38 percent. Seese went out of the game in the third period and Wallick followed in the fourth stanza with five fouls each. The Tuscarawas Reserves (6-0) continued their winning ways by stopping the Strasburg Reserves (4-3) 39-21. In the first game of the night, the Strasburg Junior High team crushed the Tuscarawas Junior High team 46-6.
