NEW PHILADELPHIA - A bad 3rd quarter spelled disaster for Coach Errol Jacobs' Baltic Eagles (9-12). Behind 14-10 at the 1st stop, the Eagles outscored Don Durham's Purple Riders (11-9) 21 to 14 in the 2nd stanza to go ahead 31-28 at the half. But, Baltic managed to get just 5 points in the 3rd period, while APort was canning 15. The Purple Riders led 43-36 after 3 stops and coasted home. Balanced scoring was the difference, although Port actually won at the foul lines, sinking 16 of 29 to 6 of 13 for Baltic. Both teams had 24 field goals, Port in 56 attempts for 42.8 percent and Baltic in 53 tries for 45.2 percent. Four Purple Riders hit in double figures, topped by Paul Schwab who got 17. Tom Loader and Roger Beighley both got 13 and Wayne Blind added 10. Dick Gerber was a one-man show for Baltic, popping in 24 markers. Guy Limbacher added 10.

NEW PHIADELPHIA - Shifting into a zone defense in the 2nd quarter, Strasburg (16-4) roared back from a 12-9 1st quarter deficit to a commanding 22-12 advantage by midway in the 2nd stanza to break the game wide open. The scoreless streak of some seven minutes by the Port Washington Purple Riders (11-10) was all the Bengals needed as their alert zone and aggressive offense stopped the Riders cold. Port made a shambles of the Strasburg man-to-man defense in the 1st stanza to lead all but one minute of the period. But, the 1-2-2 zone put forth by Strasburg in the 2nd quarter turned the tide for keeps. Conrolling the boards throughout, Strasburg snagged 33 missed shots as compared to only 19 rebounds by Port. Coach Warren Binders "Grinders" rushed to a 22-16 halftime lead and rolled on to a 46-25 3rd quarter advantage in posting the victory. A big 24-point 3rd quarter while limiting Port to but 9 points was the tale-telling eight minutes of play. Port scored only 4 points in the 2nd period on 1 of 10 field goal attempts. Don Wallick led the victors with 22 points, while John Peters chimed in with 14, including 10 in the 2nd half and Vic Gessner hit 11. Sophomore Rock Van Fossen led the board play with 9 snags. Wallick got 7 more and Peters six. Tom Loader led Port on the boards with 5 rebounds, while Ken Gay led the scoring with 16 points and Paul Schwab hit 10. From the field Strasburg netted 29 of 66 shots for 44 percent, while Port canned 17 of 46 action attempts for 37 percent.
