The Goderich Collegiate
Vikings Senior football team put
the cap on a perfect season here
last Thursday when they
blanked the Wingham Mustangs
• 33-0 to capture the Huron -Perth
Conference championship.
The game„ played on a dry
field under perfect fall
conditions, attracted a great deal
of attention from local, residents,
as well as studepts from both
schools. A crowd estimated at

game was broadcast on CKNX
radio.
The Vikings however, seemed
unaffected by -'the pressure, as
they rolled to /their eighth
consecutive victory .this season
to defeat a clearly outgunned
Wingham squad. As the saying
goes, the Vikings "came to
play."
Again it was the almost
invincible defensive platoon

there for the T.D.'
/he victory gave the Vikings
their fourth league
championship in the eight year
history of the Conference.
One of these was a
co -championship with Wingham.
On two other occasions the
Vikings have been in the league
final.
However, this year's team has
to rank as one of the greatest
ever to represent G.D.C.I.
Their defence was the scourge
of the league, and allowed only
one touchdownall season. The
defensive corps was not big, but
they were quick, and they knew
their responsibilities. In the final
game they beat the ,Wingham
offense into the ground by
playing as a unit. Their
variatiOns on defense kept the
Mustangs off balance all
afternoon.
The offensive line blocked
well, and near -perfect play
execution in the backfield let
few scoring opportunities go by.
Coach ' Wayne Horner, the
mastermind behind the Vikings
success, credited this year's team
with having "more poise than
any other Viking °team I have
coached"
Although reluctant to single
out individuals because there
were "so many kids who did a
great job for us all year,", Homer
praisedthe.-..work - of Toni
Crawford who took ever at
quarterback this year; learned
the offense, and "gave us much
more than we expected." Coach
Horner also pzucl tribute to the
leadership of team captain Jon
Ginn and "Big Al" Pirie,
describingit as, "tremendous."
Horner was also impressed by
the whole team's willingness to
sacrifice the time and effort they
did. "The spirit and desire they
exhibited made them champs,"
he said.
