AGAIN THIS YEARI
There used to be A time when the name
South Huron east a spell ever .competing teams
at the WQSSA basketball and volleyball tourna-
ments, but this appears to have changed drastical-
ly over the past years.
Zn tact, it doesn't appear to matter how
good. our school teams are, the competitors at
WOSSA have come up with the idea that solve-
thing will happen to them and they won't win,
This was the case again this year and when
tlwjunior girls basketball team travelled to L011-
t1011 on $aturday and once again came home with
the runner-up honors. Over the past six or seven
years, this has been repeated at least once every
year.
The 1962 entry was one of Miss Seigner's
better entries, but they just couldn't come up with
the needed points in their close two- point loss to
Merlin.
The last quarter was undoubtedly one of
the most hectic that we have witnessed for some
time as the lead changed hands and the supporters
on each side took their turns standing up and giv-
ing their teams a lusty cheer,
The contest certainly set some sort of a
record as far as we were concerned, as we can't
recall seeing so many tears shed by so many people
at one time, nor can we ever recall seeing such a
mixup as far as the time-clocks were concerned.
in the dying seconds the locals received a
foul shot and the clock showed that there was still
time for them to either sink the shot and try and
get the ball from the Merlin guards, or else go
for the rebound on the foul shot,
However, the referees ruled that the game
was over and so all the foul shot would have done
was cut the lead to one one point. However, there
was little chance of the foul shot going in anyway,
because two of the South Huron forwards couldn't
see the basket for tears streaming down their
cheeks with the realization they had lost the game.
After the shot, practically all the players
broke into tears and they were joined by the
',ol.a.yerr, can the beTIP'31, eneerlaerlena and moat
of, _be Spec:talon.
We have witneaa.:eci tieVeral cruse games and
perhaps have become a bit hardened in such cir-
cumstances, but it certainly was a real heart-
Lreaker and the girls could be excused for breaking
down at the conclusion.
They played hard and certainly gave their
best and we hope all their school chums will be
proud of them, because as a spectator we can attest
to the fact they gave it everything they had and
as can be expected in such a close game, one tiny
break could have given them the championship.
However, although we have been saying it
for some time, we think this team will come back
to bring a WOSSA championship to South Huron
before they leave the local halls of learning,
THEY PLAY BETTER TEAMS
The results of the WOSSA tournament prove
that the local school plays in one of the better
high school basketball leagues in the Western
Ontario group.
While the local junior girls failed in their
bid for top honors, Listowel senior girls and Strat-
ford junior boys did bring WOSSA honors to the
Perthex conference.
Our senior girls finished second behind
Listowel and lost their one game by only a few
points, and we figure from what we saw, they
would have done just as well as Listowel.
We saw the northern team play their semi-
final game and they won by close to 40 points over
a squad from West Elgin. They played Harrow in
the final game after Harrow had squeaked by a.
Seaforth team who had been beaten by South
Huron in an exhibition game in which Miss Seigner
used her junior girls for half the contest.
The Stratford junior boys had a bit harder
time. in their semi-final match but we imagine they
had things their own way in the final, as their
semi-final rivals were much better than either of
:the other two teams in the other round,
While our juniors didn't fare too well
against Stratford this year, the local squad is all
first year men and should go all the way next
year. An interesting fact is that Clinton made the
trip to WOSSA representing the north Huron
teams and our kids whipped them in an exhibition,
We don't know what happened to the
Perthex senior boys entry, but we feel that our
Panthers might have won had they been entered.
They missed the trip because they lost a couple
of games when their star players were out with
injuries, but they trounced Seaforth in an exhibi-
tion match and the northern team did make the
London venture.
So, one can conclude that winning the
Perthex championship is certainly the biggest step
in winning a WOSSA flag, because this conference
is certainly one of the strongest anywhere in the
area,
HOCKEY GRINDING TO A HALT
While basketball came to halt this week as
far as the local school is concerned, hockey is also
drawing to a fast conclusion, The Exeter pee wees
and junior Hawks were both eliminated this week,
leaving only the bantams trying for WOAA honors,
The sidelining of the Hawks came as a sud-
den shock to most of the supporters, who felt they
had a goOd chance at getting by the Hensall-'Zurich
Combines, However, the northern crew did it in
three straight and had good margins in all three
games to prove they weret the better club in the
playoffs.

Playing in Lucan, Tuesday,
the Combines completely dom-
inated play in the contest and
had a six-goal margin built up
by the early minutes of the
third period and coasted to
their win.
Walt Stothers, a recent ad-

goals as the score read 5-3,
However, the Big Eight
champions came back with
three tallies in less than four
minutes in the end of the sec-
ond session and added their
quickie in the third to leave
little doubt as to the outcome
of the contest.
The Combines also won the

burg.
The win gave the Big Eight
loop winners a 2.0 lead in their
best-of-seven series.
It was a nip and tuck battle
all the way with the lead chan-

Chevs blew a one-goal margin

while the Combines watched a

Top local crowd
sees exciting tilt
Playing before a crowd of
350 in the Exeter arena, Fri-
day, the Hensall-Zurich Com-
bines skated to a 5-2 win over
the junior )(Wks. to cop the
second tilt in their anainroce:
playoff.
It ViltiS the largest crowd of
the season to witness a hoc-
key game in Exeter, and they
were treated to a fast excit-
ing match between the two
hustling young clubs.,
Bill Shaddick started things
off for the Combines at the 2:10
mark of the first period when
his short shot eluded Ted San-
ders.. The teams batted on
even terms until tact in the
period when Craig Chapman
gave the visitors a 2-0 lead
when he grabbed his own re-
bound and spun around and
hack-handed a shot into the
corner.
Just two minutes later, Earl
Wagner fed a pass back to
Murray Bell at the point and
the defenseman's blazing shot
found an open corner to give
Hensall • Zurich a three - goal
In argin.
However, just 28 seconds be-
fore the end of the period, Bob
Jones whittled the lead to 3.1
when he shoved the puck un-
der Dennis Mock in a goal-
mouth scramble.
The teams played scoreless
hockey in the middle frame,
despite the fact they picked up
nine penalties between them.
The Hawks finally did take
advantage of the extra man in
the third stanza when Bob
Armstrong picked up the open-
ing faceoff and skated to just
inside the blueline to lift a
shot that Mock failed to catch,
pulling the locals to within one
goal of the winners.
However, Gel.ard. Overholt
and Steve Kyle picked up a tal-
ly each less than a minute
apart before the mid-way mark
to give the visitor's all the
cushion they needed.
The Hawks contested one
play in the game when a shot
appeared to go through a hole
in the Hensall-Zurich net. The
shot came from the side and
the mesh moved as the puck
went by, but the referees ruled
it no goal, although there was
a hole where the puck could

Pair score four
In lopsided win
The Combines had an easy
time in the first game of the
series in Hensall, Wednesday,
as they drubbed the Hawks
12.1, scoring seven times in
the final period.
The winners led by only 2-1
at the end of the first and
opened their lead to 5-1 at the
end of the second, but com-
pletely dominated play in the
final 20 minutes, taking ad-
vantage of some poor defen-
sive and net play by the
Hawks to record their one-
sided victory.
Lanky Steve Kyle and line-
mate Bill Shaddick, who was
presented wiiti the Shamrock
scoring honors at the game,
paced the attack for the Com-
oines with four goals each.
Harold Jaques popped in a
par and singles came off the
sticks of Larry Bedard and
John Vickery.
Exeter's lone t a 11 y was
scored by Bob Jones, on a
