PHOTO: Tuscarawas Valley Trojans - Tuscarawas Valley will be seeking its first Tuscarawas County Tournament Championship next week when action opens in the 38th annual event in Dennison High's gymnasium. Since the consolidation of Bolivar and Mineral City 4 years ago the school has gained a reputation as one of the powers in Tuscarawas County athletics. Last year the Trojans lost only to champion Midvale in league play to gain runner-up honors. They bowed 65-43 to the Blue Devils in the tournament finals for the runner-up title again. This year the Trojan basketballers have been dealt one league defeat 77-68 by current leaders Garaway. Above is this year's edition which has posted a 14-4 overall record losing only to Garaway twice and Uhrichsville and Baltic once. FRONT ROW - Bill Huth (left), Rod Cropper, Jim Studer, Ron Lake, Bruce Ickes and Clarence Cantrill. BACK ROW - Mike Widder (left), Paul Davidson, Jerry Pullins, Ed Lundenberger, Dale Duerr and Al Cerett. Cantrill (5-9) has been the big cog for the Trojans this year, scoring 287 points to date. Lake, the 5-6 sparkplug of the team, isn't too far off the pace, having scored 245 points. Studer (5-11) is the third best scorer on the team with 216 points and has proved invaluable as a backcourt man for the Hellermen this year. Ickes (6-1) has been handling the pivot duties this season and has scored 130 points. Rounding out the small, but speedy Trojan crew, is Cerett. A Junior who transferred from Scio beginning with the current school term, he has totaled 137 points this season. The Trojans will open their tournament bid Friday, February 19, at 7:45 when they tasngle with Port Washington which they defeated 74-53 in their first league game of the season. A victory would earn them a semi-finals berth Friday, February 26 at 7:30.
