THOMAS — The junior boys basketball season came to an end March 3 with their participation in the WOSSAA 'AA' championship at Central Elgin, St. Thomas. It was not the Panther's day as they struggled to find the basket but this was not due to their effort, unfortu- nately the ball would not fall. South Huron fell to Central Elgin (the eventual cham- pions) in their first game 52-26. Top scorers were Shawn Morgan with seven and Justin Knee with six. The second game South Huron struggled to score again and fell to Parkside 62-46. Top scorers were Spencer Baehnisch with 16, Knee 12 and Jordan Skinner with eight. Overall, it was a great experience for the team to participate in WOSSAA and they fought hard to reach this point but ran out of gas. The Panthers had reached WOSSAA with a 34-31 win over Stratford Central March 1. The team had trouble getting started playing such a good game against Stratford Northwestern on Friday they were not completely up for an unexpected chal- lenge game. The Panthers responded in the second half and even- tually pulled ahead. it was not South Huron's strongest game but definitely one of their grittiest. Morgan and Skinner led the offence with nine points each followed by Baehnisch with six. Coach Henry Bonsma said it was a great group of boys to coach who worked hard and represented South Huron well. They fought through the loss of players, along break with many snowdays and still they continued to be successful. The team was undefeated in league play versus Huron teams and were 2-1 in the Huron -Perth play- offs. Their loss was an exciting loss to Northwestern and after this emotional loss they collected their thoughts and defeated Stratford Central for the final spot in WOSSAA. The players showed enormous character and grit all year long and coach Bonsma thanks the team for a great year.

"We keep raising the bar 011 quality every year, and it's a joy to see the show gaining both in size and stature amongst the profes- sional art community every year," said show co-ordinator Barry Richman, a noted pastel artist.

"This show boosts our tourism profile by reminding the public about the natural beauty that we enjoy in the beach districts along Lake Huron, and just how accessi- ble that is to Ontario residents," said Lambton Heritage Museum Curator Robert Tremain. "The art show also complements other activities underway in March at the Lambton Heritage Museum, such as the Return of the Swans migration festival."

Midgets gear up for OMHA finals EXETER — The South Huron Midgets are gearing up for the finals of the OMHA playoffs against defending champion Ennismore. Midget coach Darren Kints said the team as a whole has stepped up its play. "We have a veteran team and a lot of them realize this could be their last year and we've really pulled together as a team." South Huron has been receiving steady goaltending from both Sean Ellison and Corey Bilcke, although Bilcke is now for out with an injury and Jeff Baker has stepped in to fill the gap. The midgets have also gotten offence throughout their lineup. "We don't have a superstar but we've been getting a really balanced attack" said Kints. He added Ennismore plays a similar style to South Huron with good goaltending and a physical game and it will be a big test for his team. But Kints said the Midgets are healthy and benefit- ting from a rest after their last series with Tavistock. South Huron won three of four games against Tavistock and Kints said Ellison was a major factor in the series, stepping up his play with a shutout and a great effort in game four. "He made some key saves, and twice he made a big save and we went down and scored right after. Home ice has not been decided yet for the series, but South Huron will face Ennismore Saturday in Exeter at 4:40 pm and back in Ennismore March 19 at 8:p.m. Cash calendars are still available until March 15. 1' high: Betty Coates 2" high: Shorty Caldwell 1" solo Theresa McCann tie: Ray Rader Hidden: Sandi Maxwell Carpet Bowling friday, march 5/ 04 Lucy Sage 2W-33 Marion Dearing 2W-32 Bill Sullivan 2W-27 Cathy Bell 2W-26 Wilma Davis 2W-20 monday, march 8/ 04 Sam Skinner 3W-31 Bob Patterson 3W-26 Marion Dearing 2W-31 Audrey MacGregor 2W-30 Marg Deichert 2W-30 Marshall Dearing 2W-29 Myrtle Maguire 2W-25 Ray Hodgson 2W-25 Leona Elliott 2W-24 Cathy Bell 2W-22 Aldeen Skinner 2W-16 Business Directory REPAIRS Sewing Machine REPAIRS to all makes Free estimates 90 Day Warranty Experienced since 1952 Sew and Save Centre Ltd. 149 Downie St., Stratford Phone 271-9660 In Celebration of INTERNATIONAL °MONI March 8, Women Today Of Huron honours women nominated by their peers and families for their contribution to the community.
