GDCI junior girls basketball team brings home H -P pennant BY TD The athletic teams from GDCI are keeping the local fire department busy this fall. It is a tradition that teams winning championship o honors receive , a ride around The Square on a fire truck. Last Tuesday, it was the GDCI junior girls basketball team's turn, following their 59-37 victory over Stratford Nor- thwestern in Stratford. The victory gave coach Lynn Meryer's girls the. Huron -Perth championship in two straight games in the best -of -three final series. Goderich won the first game 37-29 Friday at home. The championship is the third Huron -Perth title captured by GDCI teams this year. Both football teams took championship rides earlier this month. The Northwestern girls had finished first in the regular schedule with a perfect 10-0 record, including a six point win .over Goderich, but it was evident in the playoffs that the Vikings had matured to the point where they were obviously the better team. The Viking pressure defence totally dominated Stratford in the first game here and it soon became' obvious that nothing much had changed in the second game Tuesday. Once again, the Vikings' full court press had Northwestern bottled up in their own end and was forcing them to hurry their shots when they did manage to get anywhere neat theGoderich basket. Except for the play of Sheila Stock who kept Stratford in the game with a strong offensive and defensive effort in the first half, Northwestern supporters had little to be happy about. Goderich led 26-18 at halftime. Stratford did narrow the gap to only four points in the third quarter when the Vikings ran into a scoring lapse, but Goderich came on strong to move back into a 12 point lead. At that point, Stock fouled out and it was all over for Northwestern. The Vikings rolled on to a convincing 22 point margin to earn their ride on the fire truck. Kim Fritzley, who has led the Viking. attack all season, topped the Goderich offence with an amazing 30 points. The Vikings' other offensive threath, Allison Graham, also had a big game with 18 points. Ann Allan and Nancy Bugler had four points apiece and hard working Cathy Olte had two. Other members of the championship Viking team include Christene Stapleton, Angie Alcock, Melaine Jeffrey, Mary Margaret Murphy, Mary Beth Alexander, Kristen Bugler, Kathleen Donnelly, Shelley Teal, and Julie Meyers. The Vikings now advance to WOSSA competition December 4 and 5 at Medway in Arva, and meet Sarnia in their first game there. Midgets drop 7-5 decision.

David Gallow got one of the goals back before the second period ended and scored again at the 30 second mark of the third period to put Goderich back in the game. Jeff Feagan tied it up at 5-5 a minute later, but Kincardine's Rob Strong scored the winner midway through the final period on a shot from the right side.

(Photo by'Cath Wooden) • Archery club aims high There is something pastoral about ar- chery. Watching people shoot at archery targets dbesn't churn the stomach and assault the ears the way rifles do. .:,More and more hunters are giving up guns in favor of bows." says Goderich Archery Association president Ken Fit- zpatrick. "They don't hit as much game with arrows.'but still. maybe it's more fair." Fitzpatrick heads up- the club which meets every Thursday evening under the grandstand. There are two groups, one made up of youngsters and the other of adults, mostly male. The club's constitution says its purpose is to encourage good sportmanship .and encourage the use of the bow in hunting. There are presently 16 members in the group who provide their own'equipment. A bow can vary in price.. Fitzpatrick pointed out one young member's new bow • which cost about $60. On the other end, member Larry Hutchins' equipment totals about $600. Anyone interested in finding out more about the Archery Association can call Ken Fitzpatrick or the Goderich Recreation Office. 147 sk,rter` part icipatMcl Fn t),r so, and GMHA and GFSA skate-a-thon.
