*What's left to say about a team that goes all the way to become State Champions? What a way to finish out the last year of the Tuscarawas County season. This feat by the Strasburg Tigers was the only Class A team in the county to accomplish this achievement in the existence of the league. And it was done in the very last year! The always Mighty Strasburg Tigers captured the County League at 6-0, ended the season at 18-0, became Sectional Champs at 21-0, District Champions at 23-0, picked off the Regional Crown at 25-0 and finished up at a dazzling 27-0 as State Ohio Basketball Class A Champions. Without a doubt, Strasburg was the most successful basketball team to play in the Tuscarawas County Class A & B League!
The same can be said of Strasburg's Tom "Terrific" Studer, who smashed all season and career records in the Tuscarawas County League. Studer scored 701 points in his last year (1967) and crushed all career records with 1,586 points in 3 years as a Tiger...
