Btthen she add% "but we won the game, so X gttess they weren't really so in. timidating." Carolyn, who plays the baseline in ihe SDHS Whippets effective 1-3-1 offense, ' was deseribing the Western Ontario Secondary School Association champio- nship game Saturday between the Whip- pets and Norwich. The opposition mayhave been intimidating under the basiwt, b that didn't help much on the scoreboard a the Whippets walked away with a...42-31 win and the WOSSA gold medal. ' The title was the second the unstoppable Whippets won last week. Monday, they defeated South Huron in Exeter by IS points in the first game of a two game total points series. The second game, on Wednesday,"Was won by Exeter by a score of 31-28. That wasn't enough to allow Exeter to steal the championship from the Whippets. Wednesday's game was 'hardly typical of the Whippets. They seemed to lack the spark and the polished edge which had eharacterized so many previous games this year. Their outside jumpshots just weren't hitting the mark, and they were unable to stop South Huron's Brenda Riddell, who put on a one -woman show by scoring 25 or her team's 31 points. Winning the H -P Conference title was a bit tainted because of the poor quality of the game, as Coach Terry Johnston points out. "No one can be happy .sheoting 4 for 11 fromthe floor in your own gym. That (better shooting) would have won us the game," he emphasized, then added, "I don't like people playing below their potential." Well the Whippets did anything but play below their potential at WOSSA on Saturday. In the first match against the host Glencoe Gaels, Kathy Larone led the Whippets with 19 points as they won 48-37. At one time in the game, Seaforth was ahead by 14, only to slip as the Gaels came back to within 2 in the third quarter. "We thought they would be the toughest team in the tournament." said Carolyn. The coach echoed her thoughts as he Indicated that Glencoe had also won their own conference. TOOK CONTROL In the second and final game of the tourney, against Norwich. the Whippets took control from thc outset. Thev ran a t14ht. , zone defence, boxed Qu t their 'opponents on uncleYthkbOards and fronted 0.10 hall CarderA. w110111 they lost .their dribble. All Of Oda,. cOmbined with good outside shooting, adtiettup to a 25.6 half time score, "It was really difficult to keep up the same pace in the second halt*" explained Coach Johnston regarding Norwich's Intempted comeback in the ,third quarter. ilvlary, Thompson led Seaforth with 19 points, and Kathy, followed close behind with 16. Unlike Wednesday's game, the long jumpshots were right on the mark for 'both Kathy and Mary0,and the coach attributes much of the win to that. "They (Norwich) just weiien't prepared to Sake on our Outside shooting." ' The WOSSA 'A"and Huron-Peith.gold medals were the climax of an eicellent year for the girls. They ended up with an 18-4 record •for the year, including tournaments, and only, lost one game against a team in' their conference. They finished the regular season with a perfect 10-0 record, before trouncing Goderich two weeks ago in the H -P semi-finals. DISMAL SEASON Last year's Senior Whippet s had a dismal season.. They had lots of good defensive players, according to Mr. Johnston, but they lacked ones who could put the ball in the hoop. The junior teams. on the other hand, was very strong, and managed to capture both the conference and WOSSA championships. This year several juniors moved to senior' to produce the winning team. But next year again looks bleak for the seniors. as five of the small eight player squad will be graduating from SDHS, leaving only Mary,Kathy and Mary Jane Nigh. to form ' ie nucleus of the senior team. Only two players wilt -be moving up from junior. We need bodies," says Mr. Johnston about next year's Seniors. If he doesn't manage 65 -recruit several more girls who didn't play basketball this year. then he fears that he might not be able to put together a senior team for the 1981/82 season. • Saturday. the junior team was also at WOSSA. They lost 45-30 in the semi-finals to London •-•Robart's and again in the consolation finals 32-21 to Mitchell. Mr. Johnston expects better results from the Juniors next season. with all but two players returning. This year was one for it.building. as the team consisted nearly entirely of first year players.
