The Vikings started off strongly in the first quarter, marching 80 yards on 12 plays for a touchdown on the first offensive series of the game. Scott Kernigh4n, starting his first game at the tail back slot, went over for the touchdown from the Panther three ' yard line. ' Dave "Finn" McDonald kicked the convert , to give the Vikings a 7-0 lead. Exeter, failing to move the ball inside, tried an outside running attack in the second quarter and hit paydirt, driving 70 yards for a touchdown, scored by Gary Spurn on a six yard off -tackle run. The convert was missed. The Vikings raised their lead to 8-6 before the end of the half when an attempted field goal was wide but went for a single point. In the third quay r, the Vikings gave up MI ball on an unsuccessful third • down gamble deep in Panther territory, and Exeter carne right back with another long drive which saw the fleet - footed Spurn get his second touchdown of the day, this time on an eight yard sweep. Spurn was on the receiving end of a two-point conversion pass from quarterback Dave Shaw. The Vikings dug down deep and drove back for a touchdown mid -way through the fourth quarter. On a third and five situation at the Panther 20 yard line, quarterback Dave MacDonald threw a strike to Andy Masse who went over for the TD. That tied the score at 14-14 and it stayed that way when an attempted two-point conversion pass went incomplete. With kess than three minutes remaining in the game, the Panthers fooled the Vikings with a second down quick -kick by Dave Shaw that went 30 yards for a single and proved to be the margin of victory for Exeter. Despite the loss in the final game, the Vikings could not really be disappointed with their season. They began the year A G.D.C.I. junior girls' basketball player reaches high for the ball during last Thursday's game here against Stratford Central.

(Photo by Dave Sykes) with 29 rookies and only five returning players, and were not given much of a chance of going anywhere. However, the team showed remarkable improvement as the season went on. They finished third in the regular schedule, then' upset second place Stratford Northwestern in the semi-finals and came within an ace of winning their second straight championship against Exeter. Coaches Bruce Baker and Bill Garrow both expressed pride in their 'team. As Baker put, it, "Last year we won •it, but we were supposed to. This year we were not even supposed to make the playoffs, and we almost won it again." He credited team captains Mike Wedlock, David MacDonald, Dave McDonald and Greg Marshallwith providing leadership throughout the season. Coach Garrow felt the Goderich defence against Exeter was the most effective the Vikings had played all year. The defensive backs prevented the long pass, the corners and defensive ends contained the sweep after some initial dif- ficulties and the interior Line and linebackers, even without the services of Bob Austin who was injured early in the second half contained the Panther's inside running.' The Vikings will have 19 returning players next season and both Garrow and' Baker are already looking forward to the prospects of another fine season. Players moving up to the senior Vikings include 'Larry Kelly, Scott Kernighan, Rob Little., Dave MacDonald, Jim MacDonald, Aaron Masse, Andy Masse, Dave McDonald, Carey Muck, Rob Plunkett, Scott Profit, Jamie Rogers, Tom Smith, Graham Suchard -and Mike Wedlock.
