Berea District finals draw big crowd as fans turned away
A crowd of 4100 at Baldwin Wallace fieldhouse packed the Berea District finals last night, the largest ever but many fans were turned away for lack of room. Five hundred general admission tickets went on sale at Bell Co this morning. A student bus leaves Elyria High School at 6:45 for tonight's game. Lakewood's late bus and poor driving conditions caused a 10 minute delay in the Elyria Lakewood game. Coach Jerry Ross criticized his team's showing, saying they hadn't moved the ball effectively. The piece notes two Lorain County schools, Wellington and Ridgeville, reaching the finals and discusses historical district tourney progress in the 1930s.
