Seaforth has produced two winning,
teams in the last few weeks.
Back on'Sunday, August 20, the Seaforth
Squirts fastball team won the 'A' title of
the Walton Fastball Tournment, They
achieved this •goal by defeating the
Sebringville team by a score of 8-6 in seven
innings,
On "their' way to, the win, Seaforth;
trouncedWroxeter 20-1.1n the semi-finals,,
the Squirts. downed Brodhagen 11-4, thus.
allowing them •to move on to the
championship against the yet undefeated'
Sebriingville squad. -
Scott. Driscoll was awarded • the most
Valuable player award for his steady play in
the final game, Teodd James and David
Akey both receivedSi. bills for hittinB
dean home runs,helping their team•on to
the win: A clean homerun is one where the
:player makes a complete circuit of the
bases. from his own hit, without gaining
any bases due to errors.
The Squirtss,,coached by Jack Price, were.
presented with the Don Achilles Memorial
Trophy and a cheque for $40. In addition,
each player received a medallion.
Unfortunately for Seaforth; the . Walton
'tourney was just an invitational,` :and did
not affect'leagtse, standings. The.. Squirts
finished sixth in this, their first season of
60411, only, to be eliminated by. Mitchell.
in a best of three semi-final _playoff round.
The other team that has come out on'top
is the Seaforth Junior Girls Soccer team,
obii►che¢.by John Cifitns. The, team, called
the, Seaforth Shamrocks, were the season.-
diampions in their league, after winning 7
games, tying 2 and losing only ane.
The Shamrocks played 5 other teams
froth the tri -county area of Huron -Middle-
sex-Lambton, The players range in age
from 8-14 years, and for most of them, this
is only their second year of organized
soccer. The league itself is :only two years
dd.
Seeforth has a habit of producing
winning teams, as was shown by both the
Squirts and the Shamrocks, In the coming
weeks as the summer winds down and the
colder weather moves in, more and, more.
teams, especially in baseball, will be
wrapping up their seasons.: and playoffs. Be.
sure to watch far the results of the
competitions, as , well as the overall
statistics from the various local groups.
Although, all you sun loversdon't like to
admit it, it won't be all that long before
indoor sports take over as the winter moves
in on us. Professional hockey teams will
soon be starting their practises! What a
discusting thought.
Tuesday marked the beginning of a new
school year, and with it, a new series of
sporting events. Girls basketball and boys
volleyball teams have • already started to
practice, atthe high school with some
seasonsopening as early as next week.
Remember, all school snatches and games
are always; open to the public, and relatives:
and friends are certainly urged to attend.
Anyone having team statistics or results'
from any sport played locally is asked to
contact the Expositor, so that we can let
everyone know how well you did. People
can't come out and; support a team if they
don't know: that it exists. And of course, if
your• winner, we'd like to hear
; n
team is a
about it. Winners are thea type of . teams
that every sports fan likes to watch; so they
attract the large and enthusiastic crowds.
Come on Canada, PARTICIPATE. Let's
be as fit as a teen -aged Swede, instead of
comparing ourselves .to. -a 64 year old one.
