*The Gnadenhutten Indians squeezed past the Tuscarawas Valley Trojans 37-36 in the 1st Indian game of the Sectional Basketball Tournament. In the 2nd game, Gnaden was matched up with the Garaway Pirates who lost only one game in the Tuscarawas County League and that was to the State Ohio Basketball (Class A) Champions, the Strasburg Tigers. It was a valiant attempt by the much improved Indian team; however, the Pirates were determined as Gnaden fell 57-48.
**Gnaden doesn't claim to be on par with the basketball Tigers, but they do claim to be King of the Hill as they once again competed in the State of Ohio (Class A) Baseball Tournament. Gnaden was the baseball team to beat in the Tuscaraws County Baseball League. In their last year as Indians, it was no different. They won the Tuscarawas County League Crown, became the champions of the Sectional Tournament, the District Tournament and the Regional Tournament before falling to the Edon Bombers of Williams County, 2-1, in a heartbreaker in the State semi-finals. Gnaden will merge with Port Washington as Indian Valley South in 1968.
