PORT WASHINGTON - Continuing their giant-killing tactics, Tuscarawas Valley's Trojans (5-2) (9-6) notched their 4th straight win and advanced their season mark.  The visiting Trojans grabbed the win at the foul line as they sank 22 of 33 attempts to Port's 12 for 19.  The losers outgoaled their visitors 27-25.  Paul Shipbaugh paced the winners with 23 points.  Gary Ferren added 18 and Dave Widder 14.  Widder hit 6 for 6 and Ferren 8 of 13 from the charity stripe.  Five Riders made double figures, led by Wayne Blind with 16.  Ken Gay had 15, Paul Schwab 11 and Larry Laisure and Roger Beighley 10.  "We just didn't get enough foul shots, but it was a good game," disappointed Coach Don Durham said.  His squad (5-2) (9-6) was called for 22 violations.  The visitors of Coach Bob Heller were charged with 14.  "Tom Loader didn't see action due to a swollen gland and that hurt too."  The Port Washington Junior High and Reserve (7-8) teams both win their game, but no stats were reported.
