Members of the 198.0 SDHS Senior boys' basketball team travelled to .

The 1980 Huron -Perth champs trounced S.D.H.S. 102-44 on Friday night. Elliott photo. Friday night, ten years after capturing the Huron -Perth Championship title. The game got underway at 7:30, and by the time the buzzer went to end the game, the scoreboard told the whole story. The champs remained undefeated, downing SDHS by a humbling score of 102-44. Coach Johnston noted that all but two of the original team members made it back for the reunion, .including a full contingent of Nielsen brothers (Johnny, Dennis, Tony and Eddy). During their heyday, the 1980 Senior team won the Regina Mundi Inter- national tournament, defeating two-time OFSAA "A" champions Central Elgin to grab the title. They battled to second place in the West Elgin Invitational tournament that year, losing to London's Laurier Secondary by a slim two points. Laurier went on from this tournament to win the 1980 WOSSA "AAA" Championship. The Seaforth Golden Bears captured the Huron - Perth Championships, defeating eventual WOSSA "AA" champs Stratford Central. The Bears advanced to the WOSSA "A" tournament in Glencoe, but lost out in a tough match against Regina Mundi. Rumblings were heard after the tourna- ment that Seaforth had been at an unfair disadvantage because of the tournament draw, which allowed the Bears only an hour -and -a -half break between their game against the Marauders and the final cham- pionship game against Regina Mundi. Regina Mundi, on the other hand, had a five-hour rejuvenating stretch before the match. Incidentally, it looked as if the veterans could have done with a bit of rejuvenating themselves on Friday night. An entire line disappeared into the hall after substitutions were called late in the game, slurped at the water fountain for five or ten minutes and came back in to collapse on the bench. But try as he might, Coach Johnston couldn't whip his 1989-90 team into fighting form to beat the retired champs. "Go after the big fat one over here," he shouted to an SDHS player, pointing at one of his former charges. It's good to see team camaraderie still surviving after all this time. SCUFFLE FOR THE BALL - 1980 Huron -Perth champ Bob Thompson (7) makes a grab for the ball over the heads of S.D.H.S. rivals. Teammate Kevin O'Leary (4) appears to be running for cover. Elliott photo. Men better bowlers on Seniors Day Seniors Day saw the men the better bowlers this week. Oliver Pryce was high bowler for the day with a 245 single and 626 triple. For the ladies it was Anne Wood with a 230 single and 598 triple. Mary Finlayson also had ,a 202 and 570 triple and Bill Har- ris a 569 triple. Katie Phillips also had a 200 game. It seems each week Katie is im- proving her scores. In the draw Beryl Reid, Stan Willen and Mervyn Deitz were the lucky winners. Congratulations to Gord Murray who in Mini -Tykes a bowl against your average tournament Sunday at Starlight Lanes, bowled a 321 game. This was a first for Gordon and at the end of five games he was second overall of 35 bowlers. Watson Reid was also one of the high bowlers and prize winners. Annie Malcolm was missed by her Bruins team on Friday but glad to hear she was out of the hospital. However the Bruins took seven points from the Flames. The Kings seven on the Jets and the Oilers seven on the Maple Leafs. Raiders, ParrLi MEN'S BROOMBALL RED RUSTLERS 1 - WINTHROP 2 Bill Shortreed gets a goal for Winthrop. Fred McClure lifts the ball high into the air and the ball drops in behind the oppos- ing goalie for the second goal. The lone goal for Red Rustlers was scored by Mark Ryan from the blue line. Good game by both teams. GRADS 2 - EASY RIDERS 1 Robert Wydeven picks the top corner of the net and scores a super goal, for the Grads. The pass came from Mery Hoegy. Mike Van Denheuvel scores a second goal, unassisted off quick wrist action. Jim But- son scores the only goal for the Riders with help from Rick Fowler and Robert MacGregor. The Riders seemed to be tak- ing it easy while the Grads were pushing forward. PARR LINE 1 - RAIDERS 2 Paul Middleton scores a dynamite goal as Parr Line Men play only a minute in overtime. Steve Gibbings assists. Ron Finlayson shoots and the ball is deflected winners in Ayton hockey Seaforth's Mini -Tyke team spend Satur- day afternoon in Ayton showing 15 other towns from Western Ontario how the four, five and six -year-olds from Seaforth chase the puck. For those who are not familiar with Mini -Tyke tournaments the ice is divided in half by a wooden barrier so four teams are playing two games at one time. No off sides, icings or penalties are called, the game consists of just up and down action. The up and down takes on a double mean- ing however, as not only is it end-to-end, but from the upright position to the seat of the pants on several oaccasions as these tiny titans battle tooth and nail. At this level the little Gretzkys get little time to let their minds be occupied by anything except hockey. Seaforth's first game was against Har- riston. The second game was against Brussels and the third and final game against Milverton. Game 1 against Harriston started slow- ly for the Seaforth boys as they fell behind early. But as the game wore on the stars Club members to be commended By Jean Ross The volunteers at the Curling Club are to be commended for the interest they have shown and the time they spend with the Junior curling program. It's easy for seasoned curlers to busy themselves with their own league curling, bonspiels, and area playdowns, but because Seaforth members show that they care, area young people will be among the Howards, Werenichs and Dartes of the future. The Thursday night Mixed Valentine's Box Social was enjoyed by all. The suc- cessful bidder of each decorated box lunch got himself a partner for Scotch Doubles play. Dave Campbell and Elsie Beurman won the first draw, and Clinton curlers Steve Brown and Mary Jean Beattie won the second draw. Ann Bosman brought her lunch, gourmet style, including wine and crystal glasses. It was so tastefully decorated that she receiv- ed a prize for her artistic skills. Two men's rinks will travel to Harriston on Saturday, February 24, to curl in the SCOREBOARD game playdowns for the Ontario Curling Associations Silver Tankard. The Silver Tankard has been competed for since 1875 and is a two rink effort. Meddle Murray is on the curler's disabl- ed list. She fell while curling with the Tuesday night ladies and broke her wrist. e battle it o into the net by the opposing team to tie the game up. Only two minutes were left in overtime when Sean Melady sends the ball on a direct flight into the net to put the Raiders into the winning circle. Jeff Campbell assists. A marvelous game to watch. KNIGHTS 0 - DUMPERS 3 Frank Verberne blasts the ball two feet in front of the goalie and scores off a pass from Dale Kennedy and Murray Houston. Tony Arts dekes around the goalie and scores. Wee Rick Archambault pops in a goal helped by John Deveraux. The Knights sure had a bad night as nothing seemed to work in their favor.

QUEENS 5 - PERTH 0 Cheryl Kruse scores twice for the Queens, assisted by Lisa Henderson and Jean Haggitt. Also scoring were Teresa Finlayson, Janice Finlayson and Lynn Deveraux, who played tremendously good broomball. Perth Ladies had a few three on one breakaways but could not capitalize on them.

Kyle Henderson started the scoring followed closely thereafter by Mike Delvecchio's wrist shot that found a hole. Henderson then got what proved to be the winner. Josh Holland then hit the scoresheet as the boys started to roll. Kyle Henderson finished the scoring by adding two more goals, giving him four goals and making the final score 6-2 in Seaforth's favor. Joey Nesbitt guarded the cord cabin in game one and chose to use the "laydown" style and dared the Harriston team to shoot it over him. Game two against Brussels turned out to be a rematch of an exhibition game played between the two towns only a week earlier. Seaforth knew they were in tough competi- tion since Brussels had handed them a 12-0 thrashing in that game. Brussels however, was in for a shock this time around as Dean Wood minded the net,, and true to his name he looked like a sheet of plywood to the sprouts from Brussels. Kyle Henderson handled all the scoring in this game, as he got a hat trick and made the score 3-1. Several close calls and numerous good saves kept this game a low scoring affair. David Ludwig and Joey Turney hit the goal post in the "almost" department. A short rest and it was Milverton's chance to test the Seaforth crew. This pro- ved to be the closest and most interesting of the three contests. Dean Wood turned the goal pads over to Joey Tunney and promptly showed his of- fensive prowess by scoring the first Seaforth goal. Dave Ludwig was next in line to light the lamp, as he made no mistake on a breakaway. This one looked like a sure fire tie, but with only three seconds remaining in the game Kyle Henderson surfaced one more time to bring home the winner from 15 feet. The final score was 3-2 for Seaforth. Joey Tunney picked up the victory in goal as he steered all but two of Milver- ton's shots out of harm's way. The congratulatory pats on the backs were handed out and the boys lined up on their respective blue lines to accept their awards. Each player received a souvenir puck for their effort. Congratulations to Brent O'Reilly, Dean Wood, Bill Gridzak, Joey Nesbitt, Dave Ludwig, Mark Flanagan, Trevor Ward, Jason Denys, Mike Delvecchio, Steven Henderson, Kyle Devereaux, Kyle Hender- son, Steven Carnochan, Josh Holland, Matt Smale, Jason Brugger and Joey Tunney. The little guys will be out of action at their regular ice time for the next two weeks due to tournaments at the Seaforth arena.
