Perrie strikes silver at OFSSA
Lori Perrie struck silver with
a discus for Seaforth District
High School at this weekend's
OFSSA track and field cham-
pionships at Kingston.
By far her best toss in com-
petition this year came on her
final throw Saturday at the
Queen's University field and
went 40.20 metres to give her
second place in the senior girls
event. 1t was two metres better
than her best throw in this
season.
The provincial high schools'
title was won by Tina
McDonald of Amherst with a
throw of 41.76 m. Julie Lisle
of Wingham, Madill won the
bronze at 39.18 m.
Carly Price, also of SDHS,
scooted to a 10th -place finish
in a field of 24 in the junior
UP AND OVER - This unidentified high jumper was competing in the elementary
schools' track and field day in the bright sunshine last Thursday at Seaforth District
High School.
Fastball "Glory Days" flown?
• Fastball has fallen on lean
times locally.
A dozen years ago there were
12 fastball teams in Seaforth
alone, in a very competitive
league that many fans followed
closely on Spring and Summer
nights.
Only one of those franchises
remains - Coop's in the South
Huron Fastball League, cur-
rently sporting a 2-1-1 record
in the five -team South division
of the now 11 -team league.
The league had 13 teams last
season before losing the two
Seaforth squads.
Each team plays a 20 -game
schedule with home -and -home
crossover dates with the six
teams in the North division.
First pitches fly for home
starts at about 7:30 p.m. Wed-
nesday nights at Seaforth
Lion's Park. Tonight Coop's
hosts the Walton Brewers.
Seaforth's division is made
up of two teams from Licury, a
team from Francistown, north
of Exeter, and a Zurich nine.
The South Huron Fastball
League was formed about five
years ago, and last year also
included the now inactive
Seaforth Bears and Pizza Train.
Top local
puckster
awaits pick
Seaforth's Boyd Devereaux is
keeping his options open until
that last minute in anticipation
of Saturday's Ontario Hockey
League draft at Maple Leaf
Gardens in Toronto.
The 17 -year-old is rated one
of the top prospects in the
province, anywhere from first
to fifth depending on whose
scouting report you pay atten-
tion to.
"I'm a little nervous trying to
keep my head out of the
clouds," Deveveraux said at his
Goderich Street home. "It may
be a day of glory but I know
I've still got a team to make if
I get drafted."
Barrie drafts first, followed
by Sault Ste. Marie, Ottawa,
London and Kitchener.
Another option for Boyd
might be to play American
intercollegiate hockey, the
route chosen by such well-
known former local NHL draft
picks as Mike Walt and Pat
and Rem Murray, depending on
how things go this weekend.
Devereaux has been a lop
player the past two seasons for
Stratford's OHA Junior B
Cullitons. He started his junior
career as a 14 -year old with the
Scaforth Ccntenaires 1992-93.
Gerry Cooper says Coop's There were only a half-dozen
has some interesting young slow pitch teams in Seaforth a
talent to go with older veterans decade ago but now there are
this time around. 12 teams in this town alone,
He thinks the growing not counting other popular
popularity of slow pitch stole teams based in such hotbeds as
fastball's thunder in the area, Winthrop, Walton and Brod-
and the statistics support this. hagen.

girls 80 -metre hurdles. She was
beaten in her heat by the even-
tual gold and silver medal
winners and did not make it to
the final, although her hand-
held time of 11.97 was a per-
sonal best.
An interesting sidebar to this
year's OFSSA meet is that
the senior shot put record of
Seaforth's John Neilsen
remained standing: His record
of 19.69-m set in 1980 remains
in the books. Brad Snyder set a
new interscholastic record with
a throw of 20.56 m in
compction during the season
but he could not better
Neilsen's OFSSA mark at last
weekend's meet.
