T -A photo Senior girls- lose, but, qualify for WOSSA pia In a very disappointing game South Huron's senior girls basketball team, undefeated in regular season, gave the Huron -Perth cham- pionship to Stratford Central. The best tWo out of three final went to Stratford in the first two games. The first game was close at 44-40 but Strat- ford ran away in the second with 67-42. The final game was played in Exeter in front of a wild overflowing audience Thurs- day. In the .first quarter, South Huron came out strong, • looking as if they were going to revenge their loss on Tuesday. All five starters were hot with Leslie Hunter-Duvar scoring a quick six points. The first quarter ended with South Huron leading 16-6. It looked very good for our Exeter girls as their outspoken home crowd rowdily cheered them on. However, Stratford Central came out in the second quarter ready to play. With inspired play they quickly demolished. South Huron's lead of the game. A few bad calls discouraged the South Huron squad as they were outscored 21-4 leaving the half-time score at 27-20 for Central's Ramblers. In the second half, South Huron's shots just wouldn't go in and was perhaps the worst playing of the season. This half was riddled with fouls on both sides and some very ob- vious poor calls -by the referees. Stratford Central relentlessly increased their lead, keeping their starting line on for the whole game. South Huron coach . Terry O'Rourke substituted often. Cindy Down was noticeably favouring her foot throughout the games. Lori Brand has had knee problems all season but a fall in Tuesday's game aggravated the pain. How- ever the Panthers' second string played almost as well as the starters. Stratford Central truly outplayed South Huron in this game. Sue Marsh who carried the ball for the Ramblers put in some great outside shots scoring 22 points while tall team mate Lori Sippei was good for a high score of 24. O'Rourke felt his team was unable to control Strat- ford's height. For South Huron's Leslie Hunter-Duvar had 18 points. Maja Gans had trouble get- ting the 12 points that she did. O'Rourke said the Panthers. just "didn't execute their shots." The poor officiating really got the team down but O'Rourke believes "the refs only made six points difference." The score was a lot closer in the first game, 44-40 for Cen- tral. Again South Huron led, 17-15 at the half, until the third quarter. Central also had a cheering section but they were somewhat tamer than the crowd on Thursday. Cen- tral is reputed for starting slow but once they're Warm- ed up they are hot. Maja Gans in her last year of high school basketball again scored 12 • lints. Leslie Hunter-Duivar added 10. Lori Brand scored seven points before injuring her knee in the last minutes of the game. Faye Gaiser had eight points. • Second place in Huron - Perth still qualifies South Huron for WOSSA play. The Western Ontario tournament will be held in Sarnia, at Lambton Central December 3 and 4. Friday afternoon at 2:00 p.m. South Huron will meet the winner of the Lon- don conference. Catholic Cen- tral will very likely be their oposition as they have been very strong this year. In all probabilities this will be Ex- eter's final game as C.C.H. is one of the favoured teams. After such a successful season it hurt the team to lose - the championship to Stratford .Central. In regular season play, South Huron had defeatf'd Stratford by 18 points. It was hoped after Tuesday's loss that the finals would be a repeat of last year when they lost the first game to Central but came`back to win the next two exciting games. O'Rourke said "this was the best season ever" in his basketball. coaching. Their overall record so far is 27 wins and 11 losses, an improve- ment over last year and very impiessive." This is the final basketbal season for three of South Huron's senior . girls. Maja Gans, Lori Brand and Cindy Down are graduating this year. All three are first stringers and have played and developed together since rade nine.
