DENNISON - After the wild cliff-hanger in the opening game of the night, tournamet fans almost went to sleep in the second contest as the host Dennison Railroaders rolled over Tuscarawas (2-6). Coach Tom Connor's charges played rugged basketball, zipping out to a 7-0 lead, although missing several good shots. While the Railroaders were off and running, the Tuscarawas Broncos failed to connect on their first 8 action shots. After holding an 11-6 first quarter bulge, the Railroaders opened up in the second frame to take a 32-19 lead to the locker room with them at halftime. Dennison rolled on in the third stanza, outscoring Tuscarawas 14-3 and sewing up the game. Dick Selzer, Evo Marini and Fred Lecce shared scoring honors for the Railroaders as they all hit the nets for 12 points. Freshman standout Russ McCloughlin paced the Broncos with 13 points. From the field, Dennison made 24 of 70 shots for 31 percent. Tuscarawas made 17 of 66 for 21 percent. Dennison was 6 for 9 at the foul line and the Broncos were 10 for 17.
