SUGARCREEK - Garaway's Pirates (7-1) (15-5) broke up a Tusky Valley (2-6) (2-16) stall late in the first quarter Monday night to trip the invading Trojans and capture a share of the Tuscarawas County League Championship with Midvale. It was the 3rd straight title for Garaway. The game originally scheduled for last Friday, had been ruled a 2-0 forfeit for Garaway when an influenza epidemic made it impossible for Tusky Valley to play at that time. The County Athletic Association ruled; however, in a special meeting Saturday,that the game must be played, resulting in last night's contest. TV, employing a stall, crept out to a 7-2 lead in the first 5 minutes of play last night, but Garaway broke it up and took the lead just before the end of the first quarter 12-9. The Pirates outscored Tusky Valley 20-2 in the second quarter to wrap up the County League Title with Midvale as co-champions; eventhough, they did beat Midvale in league play. The Pirates enter tournament play against Stone Creek on Thursday. Tusky Valley is paired once again with Port Washington in the tourney opener at 6:30 Thursday night. Garaway looped in 23 of 51 shots Monday for 45 percent. Tusky Valley attempted only 41, making 12 for 27 percent. Roy Yoder followed up his 37 point performance of Saturday night with a 17-point output against Tusky Valley. Don Deetz had 16 and Geof Stevanus 15 to back up Yoder for the Pirates. Dean Nemetz and Gary Ferren had 11 counters apiece for the Trojans. Tusky Valley Reserves (13-4) got by the Garaway Reserves (10-7) 52-40.
