CADIZ - Strasburg High's talented basketballers (7-2) notched their 7th win of the season Saturday night over a strong Cadiz Cardinal quintet. It was only the 2nd loss for Cadiz. Strasburg, also a 2-time loser, will host Port Washington (2-5) Friday as it resumes Tuscarawas County Class A League warfare. The most talented Tiger of them all, 6-3 Junior John Studer, again was the chief scorer for the Charlie Huggins-coached basketballers. He hit on 14 of 25 field goals and 3 of 5 fouls for 31 points. It was his 4th 30-point or better night of the season and gives him a total of 248, just 10 behind county leader Dan Jinks of Gnadenhutten. Studer, a prime candidate for All-Ohio honors, got plenty of help, with Ed Yackey 13. High for the Cardinals was Dean Smith who meshed 28. Huggins called the pivot man one of the best his Tigers have come up against all season. Studer also paced the Tigers in rebounds, grabbing 13 of 39. Yackey gave strong board support, snaring 11. Charlie Jones played an outstanding defensive game, Mike Rieger handled the ball well and set up the offense and Rusk played his usual steady game. Huggins called the performance one of his team's better ones of the campaign. Strasburg drilled in 28 field goal tries and 25 fouls. Yackey and Studer sat out half of the 3rd quarter and 3 minutes of the 4th because of personal fouls and Dick Fox was forced to the bench with 5 personals early in the final frame. The Cadiz Reserves took the Strasburg Reserves by a score of 66-46.
