Tuscarawas Broncos' John Bihari (44) and Brent Lehigh (20) have a 2 on 1 rebound situation on Gnaden's Bill Kohl during last night's game on the Tusky hardwoods. Also in the action for the Indians is Dan Jinks (23).
TUSCARAWAS - The high-riding Broncos (3-0) corralled their 3rd consecutive victory, something they haven't been able to do since 1959, last night when they downed the Gnadenhutten Indians (0-1). In 1959 the Broncos, led by current Lakeland basketball coach Gary Caviness, opened their season 4 straight wins, a mark this year's team could match when it travels to Malvern tonight. The victories were over Midvale, Gnadenhutten, Newcomerstown and Stone Creek and the Broncos went on to chalk up a 12-8 season.
Last night Gnadenhutten (0-1), in launching its 1966-67 season, grabbed leads of 15-11 at the 1st stop and 37-32 at intermission. But, Tuscarawas got rolling in the 2nd half when the Indians' press resulted in Bill Kohl and Don Finnicum being benched on fouls. Brent Lehigh continued to spark the Bronco attack, pumping in 26 points. Fred Rausch and John Bihari also figured big for the Broncos, racking up 19 and 18, respectively. Lehigh also was Tusky's big man on the boards, grabbing 18. Kohl gathered in 14 for the Indians. Dan Jinks, who scored 477 points for the Indians last season, apparently didn't lose his touch, for he fired in 31 on 10 goals and 11 charity tosses. Kohl scored 21 and Terry Huebner 14. Tuscarawas hit on 40 percent of its shots from the field and the Indians on 28 percent. The Tribe was 24 for 36 at the foul line and Tuscarawas 19 of 32. The Tuscarawas Reserves (3-0) continued their winning ways by tripping up the Gnadenhutten Reserves (0-1) 36-20.
