TUSCARAWAS - Coach Aaron Miller's club couldn't do too much right in its loss to Port Washington (4-1) (7-3).  Although his club definitely was hampered by injuries, the Bronco coach made no excuses for the loss, saying his boys lost to a better club.  Port trailed 11-10 at the 1st stop, but took a 28-24 margin at intermission only to see Tusky surge back into a 40-39 lead after 3 periods.  The Broncos (2-3) (4-5) outshot Coach Don Durham's aggregation 21 to 18 from action, but Port made 23 of 30 free tosses, while Tusky made 11 of 16.  Tom Loader took scoring honors for the Purple Riders with 15 points.  Paul Schwab had 14 and Larry Laisure 12.  Phil Caldwell of Tusky took game laurels with 23.  The Port Washington Reserves (4-6) got by the Tusky Reserves (3-3) 37-32.
