It would be almost impossible for us to de- feat them." The top two teams from the Huron tournament will move on to the Huron -Perth finals at Stratford Central on Nov. 25. The teachers' strike "backed up" the schedule for about two weeks, Halpenny said. Girls basketball is also hack with the Panther midgets in Goderich today for the Huron championship tournament.
