PENNSBURY:
Dirugeris the little big man
Pennsbury senior Eddie Dirugeris (right) was honored with The Little Big Man Award April 15 at the conclusion of the Albert C. Donofrio basketball tournament. Eddie scored at or near double figures in each game of the tourney.
The tourney takes place every year at The Fellowship House in Conshohocken. Dirugeris was part of the Bucks County all-stars, a team that's guided by CR North teacher Jim Kenny and consists of a bunch of locals from Pennsbury, Council Rock North and CB South, among some other area schools.
Bucks made it all the way to the finals after defeating the Sonny Hill Juniors in the semis and the Old School Cavs in the quarters. The I-3 All-Stars captured the top prize in the tourney, defeating the Bucks boys, 106-90.
Pennsbury standout Dalton Pepper and Norristown's Khalif Wyatt were bestowed with MVP trophies.
In all, there were 12 players bound for Division I schools. Pepper is going to West Virginia. Dirugeris is headed for Philadelphia University.
Dirugeris has followed in his father’s footsteps; Eddie Sr., who captured the tournament MVP trophy in 1975 as a Bensalem High senior, scoring 55 points in a single game.
