Back to school
The students are all back to school at
Clinton Huron Secondary School, and
apart from their studies, many of the
students are partaking in some:extra cur-
ricular activities.
Sports were the only extra curricular ac-
tivities I participated in when I was in high
school, therefore, this column will be
dedicated to two teams at CHSS.
The first team I would like to discuss is
the junior girls basketball team.
First, I should note that both the midget
and senior girls' basketball teams are hav-
ing a hard time getting teams together. As
it now stands, they do not have enough in-
terested people to even man (or woman) a
team.
Fortunately, the junior girls are not ex-
periencing this difficulty. Doug Ludwig, in
his sixth year of coaching the team, has 13
players to work with. He said he has a real
mixture of players, with five Grade lis,
five Grade lOs and three Grade 9s.
Mr.- Ludwig started conditioning the
ladies just prior to the start of the school
year with a couple of workouts. Since the
year began they have had three practices.
The team has some experienced players
this year in the Grade 11 players, and Mr.
Ludwig said, "We've got some good
heights, tall girls."
He is hoping that this experience, and
added heights will give the team a better
record this year. Record wise the team did
not do well last season with a one win,
eight lost regular season posting. They
also won two games during exhibition play
and one game in a tournament.
Mr. Ludwig ventured this prediction for
the new season. "We'll have a better
record. It would be nice to have a .500
season." The closest the team has come to
meeting this goal in recent years occurred
when they wort four and lost six.
The junior girls will be playing an ex-
hibition game against Seaforth on
September 11, and the regular season
begins on September 17 when Goderich
comes to town to play.
"They (Goderich) were runners up last
year, they are a strong team. We'll have
our hands full," Mr. Ludwig said of their
season opener.
Over the season the ladies will be play-
ing teams from Goderich, Wingham, Ex -

FINAL OF THE 9500 CLAIMING STAKE
Top Eight Horses Competingi
eter, Seaforth, both Stratford schools, St.
Mary's, Mitchell, Listowel and Norwell.
With only 13 players on the team, no cuts
will be made.
Mr. Ludwig attributes the minimal
amount of interest in basketball to the fact
that the girls don't get much basketball
training while in grade school, and are
therefore a bit wary of it. He said that
since they have exposure to volleyball in
their grade schools, 30 to 40 players will
show up to try out for this sport.
Hopefully the added height and ex-
perience will help the team to meet any
goals they have set this year. If not, the lin-
portant thing is to have fun. Good luck
ladies.
Now, into a sport more to my liking. You
guessed it, football.
Once again CHSS is going to try their
luck at having a football team, beginning
this year with a junior team.
Splitting the coaching responsibility for
the team are Ken Reidy and Mike Hillier.
Mr. Reidy supplied me with my
information.
Last year, as every year at the school, a
survey was passed around to the students
to see who would be interested in playing.
Of the 31 who came out last May, only 21
came out to practice' for the fall season.
Fortunately, some•Grade 9s showed some
interest, so the team will have a 26 man
roster. Because of the small size, there will
be no cuts made.
Mr. Reidy said they decided to have a
junior team because there would not be
enough experienced players to form a
senior team.
The team began practicing one week
before school started with five practices,
and they have been practicing steadily
since then. They began contact in practice
last Friday.
One problem the coaches have had to
deal with has a lot to do with the fact the
players haven't had much exposure to
football. "A lot of the kids don't have any
idea what the game is about," Mr. Reidy
said. He added though, that what they lack
in experience, they are making up with en-
thusiasm. "They are enthusiastic as
anything," he said.
Most unfortunately for this rookie team,
they will be playing in a tough league.
They will be matched up against Norwell,
Stratford North-Western, Goderich, Ex-
eter and Listowel.
Coach Reidy is not going to let this
bother him though. "We're gonna take
each game as it comes and see what hap-
pens," he said.
The team will be playing an inter -squad
game this coming Friday, before traveling
to Palmerston on September 18 to play
their opening game against Norwell.
Good luck, guys, and remember, it
doesn't really matter that much how many
games you win, because playing football is
the most fun you'll probably ever have
while playing a sport. (I mean, what other
game can you play where you can hit
somebody as hard as you want, and not get
penalized?)
Three -Pitch Tournament
The annual co-ed three pitch tournament
held at the Clinton Arend Park on
September 5 and September 6 was a great
success.
Ten teams from Clinton and the surroun-
ding areas competed in the two day tour-
nament, with the Flemings coming out on
top by beating the Ladds in extra innings.
Approximately $900 was raised through
the tournament, and this money will go
towards diamond improvements.
Organizers of the event would like to
thank Heywood's Sports for donating the
trophy for the winners.
