NEW LEXINGTON surprised a
lot of people last week by sweep
ing the regional tournament at
Athens, making the Panthers one
of four class B teams remaining
in the state. Woodsfield elimin-
ated Worthington 56-4l while
New Lex was defeating New
Boston 45-41. In the finals the
Panthers nicked Woodsfield So
+ 36 to gain spot in the state
meet at Columbus this week.
AT COLUMBUS, it will be New
Lex (25-D VS.. Delphos st. John
(27-3) on Thursday afternoon at
2:30. The same evening at 800
IS will see North Canton (22-6) VS..
z Lockland Wayne (30-D. With
only four teams left, Bill Wollen-
berg, the leagues outstanding
player, needs only to make a
good showing in one game to
merit the all-Ohio class B team.
A loss, however, infthe first
game would probably drop him
to second team. "Boney" has
racked up 149 points in six tour
nament games for an average of
24.6 per game.
WOODSFIELD, in winning the
sectional three years in a row,
did not set a new record as some
fans believed at first Belle Val
ley won it three years IN sue
cession (1936-1938) and the pre-
s yious year in 1885 when 16
n teams played at Caldwell the
Riders won their bracket, making
them a SecllOndl WlllISl IooL
!, times straight. AS a matter OF
fact, they reached the finals SIX
years in a row, which is prob
ably another record.
IN 1884, under the old set-up, Ia
teams were entered at Caldwell
with three separate bracket
winners. Belle Valley was nudg-
ed by Clarington in the finals OF
their bracket 21-20. In 1885 with
Is teams, the Riders beat Vim
cent 1923. The next year, 1886
under the present set-up, Belle
Valley defeated Caldwell in the
finals 28-21, in 1887 they bump
ed Newport 25-15 and in 1888
WoodsfieId was showed under
44-22. Their string was snapped
in the finals of 1899 when Cald'
well defeated the Riders 1925.
