G.D.C.I. Senior Vikings have established themselves firmly in first place in Huron Perth girls basketball with a 66-63 victory over arch rival Stratford Northwestern Huskies in Stratford last Thursday. The Goderich girls, who were playing without the services of starting point guard Erin Robinson, who was sidelined with a bruised knee, led the Huskies from the beginning building a 37-28 half time lead which they never lost. The Vikes led by as much as 19 points in the second half as they coasted to the victory. It was a true team effort. Jenny Allen played her best defensive game of the year and scored 21 points. Captain Katharine Murphy played a great two-way game scoring 12 points. Rhonda Teal added 11 points and some key rebounds. Pam Fritzley who filled in for Robinson played an important part in the victory as she scored nine points, rebounded and played tenacious defense. The Stapleton girls, captain Mary • Katherine and Mauredn scored six and eight points respectively but more important was their combined defensive job on the Huskies' big center. Earlier in the week the Vikings trounced Seaforth 87-15 which leaves Goderich with a 7-0 record. The scorers against Seaforth were Jenny Allen, 22; Mary Katherine Stapleton; 18; Katharine Murphy and Rhonda Teal, 14; Erin Robinson, 7; Maureen Stapleton, 6; Mary Jo Evans, 4; and Pam Fritzley with 2. The Vikings also won the Consolation Championship at the Elgin Referees Classic in St. Thomas last weekend. The Goderich girls defeated Guelph Ross 50-41 in a thrilling come -from -behind overtime game. With 12 seconds left in regulation time .and the score 42-40 for Guelph the Vikings took a time out to set up a scoring play. They then returned to the floor and ex- ecuted the play perfectly with Jenny Allen swishing the tying bucket with two seconds left. The Goderich girls then took over the three minute overtime ,putscoring Ross 8-0 to win the game. The Vikings played an exceptional team game led by Katharine Murphy, a tourna- ment all-star, and Jenny Allen, the tourna- ment's leading scorer. Murphy rebounded exceptionally and triggered the Viking fast break. Allen played great defensive and scored 30 points in the final. Mary Katherine Stapleton who was fouled out. early in the fourth quarter added eight points. Rhonda Teal scored four points in- cluding a key basket in the overtime. Maureen Stapleton added four points with Katharine Murphy and Pam Fritzley scor- ing a basket each. In .the semifinal the Vikings downed East Elgin 60-27. After taking a 37-7 half time lead the Goderich girls coasted to the victory. Jenny Allen and Mary. Katherine Stapleton scored 19 and 18 points respec- tively. Pam, Fritzley added 7, Katharine Murphy 6, Maureen Stapleton 4. Rhonda Teal 4 and Krista Collinson 2. The Vikings were tripped by a pesky Tillsonburg team 42-33 in the opener. The Tillsonburg girls took advantage of an emotionally drained Viking team tNor- thwestern the day before) and some er- ratic officiating which saw the Gemini score all ten of their fourth quarter points from the foul line. Scoring for Goderich were Allen 8, Stapleton M.K. - 8, Stapleton M. - 7, Murphy 6, Teal 4, Fritzley 3. The Vikings play South Huron on Tues- day and St. Marys on Thursday this week. I Jr. Vikings lose first game of season --iii basketball action by TD The GDCI Vikings' undefeated string has come to an end after six games of the Huron Perth junior girls' basketball schedule. Last Thursday in Stratford, the Northwestern Huskies defeated the Vik- ings 60-37. The Vikings went into that game with a 6-0 record, following their 80-4 trouncing of the Seaforth Golden Bears here last Tuesday. The easy Win over, Seaforth did little to prepare the Vikings for their game with the Huskies who remain undefeated. The Vikings got behind early in Strat- ford, •and with Leslie Meyers and Kelly Wade in foul trouble, they could not come back. Wade managed to get nine points and Sheri Hqrd hooped eight. Nicole Miller, with six points, Meyers, with five, and Jackie Banter, with four points, round- ed out the Goderich attack. Against Seaforth, the Vikings had 11 players hit the scoresheet.
