*This was not a typical Blue Devil year.  Midvale was the only team to consistantly push-back against the Strasburg Tigers year after year.  Strasburg more-or-less owned the Tuscarawas County Class A Basketball League, but it was the Blue Devils who were right behind them as they also won their share of County championships.  This year Midvale was off their normal game.  The Midvale Blue Devils lost their 1st Sectional Tournament game in a blow-out, 75-36 against the Dennison St. Mary's ball club and it was their last game in a Blue Devil uniform.  Midvale will merge with Tuscarawas as Indian Valley North in 1968.
