Coach Warren Binder's club, which led 15-11 and 21-17 at the first 2 stops fell behind 34-33 going into the final frame. The Tigers and Hornets battled back and forth until Bob Farnsworth hit from far out. "This is a much better team than the scores of this game and the Tuscarawas Valley contest indicate," Binder said. "The boys are doing their best. I'm very proud of them. I am positive that if all the boosters of Strasburg pull together and show their support this team will bounce back."
