She sinks the first free throw. bringing the score to wj.thin one point. Then she -sinks the second, but the referee is quick to ace a violation of stepping into the key too soon, and the second point is disallowed. The cheering from the crowd is deafening. This was the stene Monday in the SDHS gymnasium as the Junior girls basketball team played host to the Redmen from NomeII District Secondary School in Palmerston. With less than a minute to' play in the game. Norwell missed a pair of free throws, a jump shot end. with seven seconds left. a layup. The Whippets won 33-32. their first victory of the season. It isn't that the girls can't play well. It's just that nearly the entire team is composed of first year.players who haven't had any previous experierice on the basketball court, But there is tots of raw talent there, waiting to be harvested. A different song is being sung about the Senior Girls team. After combining the i.xperience and defensive ability of senior playets withthe skill on offense of the new players. the team has become a winner. After easily defeating Norwell by a score of 47 to 26, the seniors posted a perfect 8-0 record for the season. with two games temaining. "I think it's the blend really of the experience of the girls in grade 13 and the enthusiasm of the new girls." explained Coach Terry Johnston on Monday. They have talents that blend together w;11." Several members of the eight player team moved tip to senior after a succeiAil completacti of their junior days last year. In the 1979/80 season. the juniors won both the Huron -Perth Conference. and the Western Ontario Secondary School Association (WOSSA) championships. Included in the first year seniors are Cathy Larone, who counted for 18 points inMonday's game, and Mary Thompson, the team's star centre and rebounding boss. Including exhibiton games and tourna- ments, the Seniers' record is 12 and 13 for the year. They were beaten by London's Medway team in that school's invitational tournament, by the St. Thomas Moore team from Hamilton. and by one point by the General Amherst seniors from Amherstburg. The Seniors need only to -win ope of their two remaining league games to capture first place in the conference. which would send them to the playoffs against the fourth place finishers which. according to the coach. will probably be F.xeter. A win in that sudden -death semi-final would advance the Whippets to a two game, total points series against elle anthers of the other semi-final eamc between the second and third place teams. Following that is tlee WOSSA championships. seheduled for the first weekend in December. But as Coach Johnston expinins, he feels .that to win all ten season games would be more of a victor,- than to win the conference title. He points out that although there is mare pressure on during the playoffs. it is much more difficult to win ten games than threciespecially with half of those ten on unfamiliar courts. The same old story again seems to apply to SDHS. Depsite the fact that it is one of the smallest and most poorly equipped high schools in the province. it %cern% to iepeathdly produce not quantity , but quality in the sporting field. Mr. Johnston summed it up well by saying that he can rely on an his players. and that "I don't have any 'qualms about putting anyone on the starting line •' . Hensall Carmel Fresbyterian Church W..
