Clinton News-Record, 1983-06-08, Page 18PAGE 16—CLIN'TON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1 Rods Re Iis. rt oS,t,s oris Argos no longer losers i kr.; .n Hilts Sports Editor It's early y. , but all indications point to the fact the Toro Argonauts will be a better team in 1983. In 1:;rs,1, they stumbled, bumbled and fumbled. The ArgoNOTS were pathetic. They stunk. They resembled an accident waiting to happen. In 1982, they switched management, added some quality players to the lineup and played with discipline and team spirit. The revitalized attitude carried them into the Grey Cup game. The team looks good in training camp and they should make a repeat performance to La Coupe Grey. The addition of Hank ilesic to the team gives the Argos the number one punter in the league. flesic will give the Argos the ultimate secret weapon on third downs, with the ability to sprint for that first down marker. The Argonauts have also added Tyron Gray to their already multi -talented receiving corps. The addition of Gray, accompanied by the spectacular catching abilities of Terry Greer, will give the Argos a double decker deep threat on the outside. A surprise in this year's Argo camp has been the fine play of import receiver Scott McGhee. The five -foot -nine -inch McGhee was deemed as being too small and too slow last year by the coaching staff but, this year he is putting that rumor to rest. Argo coaches are so im- pressed by his play, he's in a position to take the out- side receiver spot from Gray. Slot backs Paul Pearson and Emmanuel Tolbert will give the Toronto club a solid offensive attack up the middle and will be reliable targets for quarterback Condredge Holloway. The running back positions will be occupied by steam -roller Bob Bonk and dipsy- doodler Cedric Minter. This combination should create a few headaches for opposition linebackers. Defensively, the Argos have obtained lineman Tyrone Keys, a tower of power, a real quarterback masher. Ex-Ticats Leroy Paul and Zac Henderson appear to have secured positions in the defensive alignment. Paul is blessed with awesome speedand anyone who follows the CFL knows that Henderson "Zac attacks" team offences with bone crushing tackles. The Argos first exhibition game will be on Friday night against division rival Hamilton Ticats. Toronto will be tossing four quarterbacks at Harnilton, with Holloway starting. Watch out for those Argos, they're lookin' out for number one! (The Ticats should be clawi,i' at 'em for Eastern Division supremacy) + + + I'd like to extend a tip of my hat to an Owen Sound based charity organization called Chadd's R & R. This Owen Sound based charity has raised thousands of dollars for muscular dystrophy over the past eight years by holding a golf tournament at the Huntington golf course, north of Toronto. Each year over 150 competitors have joined together to participate in this fund raising event, which is ex- pected to raise over $30,000 this year. Efforts like this one, give us hope that some day a cure for muscular dystrophy will be found. At V Haily Gully - A successful fa y R :' Hilts Prior to 1970 he had never rides a snowmobile. Prior to 1973 he had never mounted a motocross bike. Today, 10 years later, Randy Collins and his family have built one of the most successful motorcycle and snowmobile dealerships in Ontario. The successful story behind Hully Gully didn't happen overnight, it took many years of devotion and a real family effort. "When we started, we had distinct goals to develop to be the best at what we were doing. We found ourselves working about 90 hours a week. Back then we were forced to work those hours because of the sheer economics of it all," said Randy. Prior to 1972, Randy Collins and his wife Audrey farmed at their present Varna location, raising registered Holstein cattle. It was from here that the name "Hully Gully" was born. According to Ran- dy,"Hully Gully" was the registered name that was chosen as a prefix for their five registered Holsteins. Where did the idea of turning their farm into a thriving snowmobile and motorcycle dealership materialize from? "Well, we are originally from Essex County where they don't get half the snow that there is in Huron County. When we first came here, we couldn't believe how much more snow there was. We decided to turn something negative into something positive," said Randy with a grin. Randy's motto, "a winner never quits and a quitter never wins" exemplifies Holly Gully's business at- titude. In 1978-79, Hully Gully was' the largest Arctic Cat dealer in Canada. They held that honor until 1980-81, when Arctic Cat went bankrupt. Hully Gully has won numerous other awards including the latest, the Canadian Motorcycle Association Organizer's Award for Event of the Year in 1982. Last year Hully Gully hosted the 1982 J unior- School boy Motocross National Championship. Because of the success of last year's event, Hully Gully has chosen to host the Senior Motocross Cham- pionships to be held July 9 and 10. ABC's Wide World of Sports television cameras will be on hand to cover the event, the most prestigious in Canadian Motocross Racing. Randy Collins stresses that the success and progress Hully Gully has made over the years has been a family effort. Randy's wife Audrey is Hully Gully's secretary - treasurer. She is also a competitive snowmobile racer.
