Exeter mination and ability by defeating Catholic Central 37-35. In the first time that a South Huron team advanced past the first round the team was defeated 31-28 by Strathroy in the semi-finals. The win over CCH was a thrilling victory and one of the best games for South Huron. The senior girls, just coming off six draining days of ex- ams, were spirited and hot and seemed confident of their ability. SH had the added drive of being ranked as an underdog. They ranked sixth in the eight team tournament, even as Huron -Perth champions, upset CCH as London Con- ference champs who were seeded in third place. It was the first confrontation of the two teams. The matched ability kept the game close and exciting but the Panthers tight defense kept the Crusaders shots out of the hoop. CCH seemed to be on the verge of a comeback in the last quarter but SH persevered with Leslie Hunter-Duvar praying for the final buzzer, signalling their victory. Hunter Duvar's fine ability has kept her team in good stead throughout the season. A mid-season ankle injury has been overcome so that Leslie can play without much pain. Faye Gaiser led the superb defence and scoring with 19 ts. Dominating under the rds Alice Dietrich had 11 points, most from second - chance baskets. Jackie Cot- trell and Starr Jesney round- ed out South Huron's five, with competent performances. These starting five have been instrumental for South Huron's successful season but it was the second string that kept Exeter in the close game against the very tough Strathroy team in the WOSSA semi-final. South Huron appeared very nervous and at time flustered as their play often went out of control. Being in the WOSSA semi-final and knowing that win would put them in a challenging and learning ex- perience against defending OFSAA champs from Sarnia St. Pats, excited South Huron such that their play lacked the control and lustre of the previous night. Strathroy opened up an ear- ly lead and kept the Panthers down by six or eight points for most of the game. Three ear- ly fouls by Faye Gaiser forc- ed coach Terry O'Rourke to take the gamble of pulling her for the first half. South Huron's ability to depend on their bench became crucial as the second string helped to keep the game close. 1 r I Rabbit r t-73-1Ser us un.

N., EXETER 235-1525 Strathroy's tough and disconcerting press throughout the game was challenging and tiring for Ex- eter. Alice Dietrich's agressive play and will- ingness to sacrifice herself was an inspiration to the team. South Huron miss d many opportunities, especially on the foul line. They made only eight of 24 foul shots. Those sixteen points may have turn- ed the game. Coach O'Rourke says, "I'm a firm believer in having to be in the gym shooting every day, at least for a little while." The pressures of exams took a lot away from South Huron's competent ability. South Huron seemed sure to be able to make a come back in the final minutes but Strathroy seemed equally determined to keep their spot in the final. With both Gaiser and Dietrich fouling out in the last minute South Huron's hopes were dashed. ' Despite sitting out most of the first half Gaiser still scored 11 points. Jackie Cot- trell had six points. First year senior Irene Brand played ex- tremely well to take Gaiser's place both offensively and on defense. South Huron's major pro- blem was that they tried almost too hard for that win. Forcing their shots only achieved more frustration for the eager team. The team should be con- gratulated for a very suc- cessful season. Their overall record was 24 wins and 8 losses, excellent and is proof that hard work, determina- tion and good coaching earns success. Members of the Huron - Perth Champions and WOSSA semi-finalist team are, graduating players, Faye Gaiser, Leslie Hunter-Duvar, Alice Dietrich, Starr Jesney, Dana Bozzatto, Judy Van Oss and Brenda Bell; returnees are Jackie Cottrell, Irene Brand, Diane Willis and An- drea Zimmer. The girls' actual final game will be for fun against the Canadian Half Pints, a midget comedy team. The game is December 15 at 2:15 p.m. Generals get single 'point The Exeter midgets newly named the Generals gained a single point in two Shamrock minor league hockey games this week. Sunday in Forest, the Generals got a goal from Steve Gould on a pass from Sean Whiteford with 51 seconds left in the third period to get a 2-2 tie. Monday again on the road, the Generals dropped a close 6-5 decision to Strathroy. In the game against Forest, coach Ron Bogart said his club was quite sluggish after a week's lay off and took too many penalties. Goal tenders Jason Van Haarlen and Scott Heywood played very well in sharing netminding duties. The other Exeter goal in ad- dition to the tying one by Gould was fined by Jim Lewis on a three-way passing com- bination with Andy Lerikos and Terry Zachar. In the 6-5 loss to Strathroy, Bogart said his club dominated play for the first half of the game. He con- tinued, "Richardson missed on a breakaway and Lovie hit the goal post. We could have been up by 6-1, but!" The Generals did take a 4-1 first period lead on goals by George Pratt, Steve Gould, Scott Lovie and Sean Whiteford. Bill Fisher gained two assists while Steve Gould, Scott Bogart, Sean Whiteford and Bud Richardson each helped on one goal. The only other Exeter goal came in the third period from the stick of John Hannah as he converted a pass from Scott Lovie on a power play. Molting Hawks break even In two recent oldtimer hockey games, the Exeter Molting Hawks were edged 5-4 by Lucan and trounced Belmont by a score of 10-1. Against Lucan, the Molting Hawks marksmen were Keith Ahrens, Mike Cushman, Bob Jones and Jack Chipchase. In the victory over Bel- mont, Bill Chipchase and Keith Ahrens were the top scorers with two goals apiece. Firing single scores were Jim Russell, Jim MacDonald, Pete McFalls, Mike Cushman and Bill Pincombe. Bill Chipchase led the playmakers with three assists while Mike Cushman helped on two goals and Keith Ahrens, Jim MacDonald, Bob Jones, Bob McDonald and Walt Tiedeman each provid- ed one pass for a goal. a BASKETBALL CHAMPS — The South Huron District High School senior girls basket- ball team recently won the Huron -Perth championship and reached the semi-finals at WOSSA.
