Below is an excerpt from the TVHS yearbook

The varsity basketball team concluded the season with an even 11-11 record and the reserves ended 9-11. Senior co-captains Craig Cantrill and Steve Stucky led the Trojan roundballers and Toby Oswald came off a football shoulder injury to give the team an extra boost.

A painful loss to Orrville came in the last seconds of the game when a successful shot from behind the backboard made Orrville the victor 65-64. The season's sweetest Tusky Valley victory came after a painful loss at the hands of state ranked West Holmes when the Trojans came back five weeks later to defeat the Knights 59-54.

The Trojans drew Ridgewood in the sectional opener and defeated them 62-58. In the sectional finals T.V. lost a thrilling game to the Coshocton Redskins 52-61.

A 5-5 league record placed Tusky Valley third in the AOC. A highlight of the season saw Kevin Lake accumulate 140 assists to break the school record set last year by Mike Edwards.
