SH basketball star
enjoys summer fest
Faye Gaiser has passed
with flying colours one of the
first steps on the way to a pro-
mising basketball career.
The local eager was a starter
for Southwestern Ontario
Regional team which played
at the Ontario Summer
Games, September 2 to 5.
The grade 13 South Huron
student was chosen from hun-
dreds of hopefuls last spring
for the 10 -member regional
squad. ,
"I was really scared at
first" admitted Faye when
she thought of playing with so
many skilled girls. However,
she found that playing around
people who are really good
made her look better.
South Huron coach Terry
O'Rourke can attest that
Faye's improvement was ge-
nuine. O'Rourke felt Faye
was a surprise at the Summer
Gaines. He had expected her
consistently tough defense but
het offensive ability had
developed considerably.
This versatility on the court
was one of the many skills
Faye developed in her sum-
mer of basketball. All six
-cgional teams from all cor-
ners of the province met at
Waterloo University at the
end of July. for the only prac-
tice allowed before the
Games. Each girl had to con-
dition on her own the rest of
the summer.
At Waterloo the round robin
tournament helpedaccustom
the girls, to 1".LH.A. rules.
which are used by university
and provincial teams. Faye

felt the week in Waterloo
helped"Their main goal was
development and playing
against people of your own
ability makes you develop
faster". The little tricks and
tips that they stressed has
given her game more depth.
A week at the All -Pro
Basketball camp psyched
Faye up for the Ontario Sum-
mer Games. She loved the
treatment, they received at
Sudbury:' it felt like the Olym-
pics" The Summer Games,
like the Olympics, cover most
sports, so Faye met many
dedicated and talented
athletes like herself.
The Southwestteam was
considered the underdogs.
O'Rourke noted that they had
the weakest talent. Their
three games were lost by
close margins. Her team's
last place finish was no
damper on Faye's en-
thusiasm about her ex -
i'
perience. "I have more con-
fidence as a result of playing
so much."
O'Rourke is looking to Faye
for some leadership for South
Huron's senior girls' team,
which is keen to start the
season.
Faye hopes to qualify for
the provincial team, which is
the next step in Ontario
basketball. She realizes she
will have to be in the best
shape she has ever been to
make the highly competitive
team. Last year's tryout was
rather overwhelming but
Faye feels much more
prepared. The provinical try-
outs are in the spring and
Faye would also like to play
on a University basketball
team next year.
Basketball has become
Faye Gaiser's life and
through hard work and deter-
mination it will take her
many places.
