Seniors, juniors
beat Listowel
EXETER - Wednesday morning's pep rally at South Huron District
High School paid off big later in the day as two -of -three girls basketball
teams won their Huron -Perth games against visiting Listowel.
In the senior contest, the Panthers had little trouble as they built a sur-
prisingly low -scoring 12-6 halftime lead and stretched it into a 32-19 vic-
tory.
The juniors also came up big, downing Listowel 51-30 while the mid-
gets lost a very close contest 63-62.
For the seniors, it was just their second win of the season as they beat
Listowel earlier in the year. Only 32 points in a senior game seems a little
low.
"We have trouble putting the ball in the basket. We had all kinds of
open shots," said senior coach Terry O'Rourke.
Carrie Oke had no trouble scoring as the forward managed to work her
way under the hoop several times and was on the receiving end of some
good passes. She finished with 16 points while Stacey Rader netted six.
"Against the good teams we've been close because of our defence," add-
ed O'Rourke whose team was in the Parkhill tournament on the weekend.
The Panthers defence did not allow a Listowel point in the second quar-
ter, and at the end of the third quarter it was 24-13.
The seniors travelled to the Parkhill tournament on the weekend but
were beaten in both games. Lisa Triebner had 10 points in a 53-26 loss to
Sarnia Northern and Kerry Manders netted four points in a 45-12 loss to
London Saunders.
Close one: A desperation shot with just 11 seconds left in the game,
gave the Listowel midgets a 63-62 win over the Panthers who have lost
their last four.
"We played them before and it was overtime when we won," said South
Huron coach Janice Walker.
'Carey Youmans led the Panthers with 18 points while Heather Davies
had 17 and Tara Pepper added 13. Pepper was the most dominant player
on the floor as she grabbed a lot of rebounds and kept the play alive for
second and third shots.
"Their defence has improved 80 percent. There is a lot of good talent
out there and a lot of good teams," said Walker.
Win third game: While the seniors upped their league record to 2-5
and the midgets are still looking strong at 3-4, the juniors Panthers won
their third game of the year and are also 3-4.
South Huron was tied with Listowel 22-22 at the half but poured it on in
the third quarter.
Good defence paid off in the last quarter and a balanced scoring attack
saw the Panthers win this one. Lisa Robertson and Jenny McLean led the
offence with seven points each. Twelve South Huron juniors contributed
in the scoring.
Bheak►ng a tackle may be part of football but Heather Davies,
of the South Huron midget girls basketball team got around
this St. Mike's opponent.
Field hockey undefeated
By Ray Lewis
STRATFORD - The South Hu-
(ron Panthers girls' field hockey
\team are looking to finish their reg-
ular season schedule undefeated,
after they knocked off both the
Stratford Central Ramblers and
Mitchell Blue Devils in Huron -
Perth play last week.
The Panthers are currently 7-0
and played their final regular sea-
son game in Listowel yesterday,
with results unavailable at press
time.
South Huron travelled to Strat-
ford Thursday to face the Rams,
and came away with a convincing
5-0 victory. Becci Farquhar
opened the scoring for the locals
just eight minutes in, when she
managed to get a weak shot away
in a goal mouth scramble.
Beaten
in finals
ARVA - The senior boys volleb-
yall team advanced all the way to
the finals of the Medway tourna-
ment here on Saturday but unfortu-
nately came up short 8-15, 7-15
against a tough London South
team.
South Huron started the day with
four wins and just two losses in
pool play. They then beat host
Medway 15-13, 8-15 and 15-11 in
the quarter -finals. Against North
Larfbton in the semis, the Panthers
won 15-8 and 17-16.
Chris Angerman had a Tots of
blocks and the Panthers got steady
setting from Jesse Morrice and
Chris Gardner. Junior Ryan Stuart
played well.
Midfielders Shannon McBride
and Tina Campbe t then added first
half goals as their shots deflected
into the net off of Stratford defend-
ers.
April Lewis opened the second
half scoring a blistering drive from
just inside the penalty area, and
second year inner Carla Taylor
closed out the scoring notching a
goal of her own.
On Tuesday the Panthers hosted
Mitchell but had a tough time dis-
posing of the Blue Devils. Right
midfielder Darlene O'Rourke pro-
vided the one-two punch as she
scored both goals in a 2-0 victory.
No matter the outcome from yes-
terday's game, South Huron will
face Stratford again Thursday,
when they host the Huron -Perth
semi-finals.

Senior runners win HP:
By Fred Groves
BENMILLER - For the second
straight year, the South Huron Pan-
thers senior boys cross-country
team has won the Huron -Perth high
school team championship.
Thursday afternoon, the seven
team members put forth an out-
standing effort over the very diffi-
cult eight -kilometre course. They
put three runners in the top eight
spots and four members will be go-
ing to WOSSA this week in Petro-,__
lia.
Dan Vanderlaan, last year's sen-
ior winner, was third with team-
mate Brett Rideout a close fifth and
David Schwindt had a strong finish
and was eighth.
In the junior girls division, Molly
McClure will also head to WOSSA
once again as she was third in her
race over the four -kilometre
course.
A few years ago, cross-country
was a very popular sport at South
Huron but has since dropped off.
"We cut kids who didn't practice.
We had 30 names at one point but .,
they didn't come to practice," said •
coach Joe Fulop.
It takes a lot of preparation for
the Huron -Perth meet. The Pan-
thers
have been in several other
events and Fulop said they were,
ready for Thursday.
South Huron had runners in sen-
ior and junior categories but there
were no midget -aged competitors.
"I guess lack of interest. But the
sport is hard and there is no glory.
If you're not a good runner, you
better have a good team," said Fu -
lop.
The course here at the Falls Re-
serve Conservation Area has al-
ways been a tough one. Runners
are quickly funneled off the starting
line into a narrow three-foot gap in
an evergreen tree line.
From there, is a course which is
filled with inclines and a big hill
which, for the senior boys, meant
conquering twice.
On arrival at the picturesque ,
course near Goderich, all the run-
ners joined their coaches on an in-
spection of the course.
"We do it to discuss the hazards
if there are any. There is a big hill
and it's muddy," said Fulop.
"It's good for them to talk about it
and go as a group," he added.
Cross-country running is an indi-
vidual sport. If you make a mistake
along the course, you don't have
teammates there to help you win
like in a team sport.
"Here we're supposed to concen-
trate on a team but you still have to
beat the guy in front of you," said
Vanderlaan.

he was asked what his chances
were of repeating as the first place
finisher.
"I'd say they are okay, but not as
good as last year. They've got a
junior up from St. Mike's and he's
fast."

Schwindt led the seniors; Rob

Pavlick, 26th.
Tough finish: McClure was sec-
ond in the midget division a year
ago and this year had to settle for
third in junior after she took a
wrong turn coming down the final
incline.
Instead of going around a comer
she went straight and did not get on
the right track until the watching
senior boys team and marshals
yelled at her.
McClure was in second but was
passed at the last minute. Still, she
and the rest of the junior girls did
very well.
Before she tackled the course,
she and all the Panther runners
joined Fulop on a walk which!
pointed out the many obstacles and
hazards.
"It's not as muddy as last year. It'sj
one of the most challenging," said
McClure.
Her brother Matthew and sisters
Sarah and Susan all were standouts
on the Panther cross-country teams
and for Molly, she is just following
in their tracks.
"My family has always done it,"
said the youngest McClure who
went to OFSAA in both cross-
country and track and field last
year.
Sarah Battersby had a strong fin-
ish in the junior girls division as
she was 13th. Linda Wallis, 23rd;
Jenn MacNeil, 24th and Linda
Hardeman was 28th. Dianne McIn-
tyre was the lone senior girls runner
and she was 13th.
