excels. Basketball;
A few weeks ago, thg junior Bide.team,:
the 'Whippets, won the Huron -Perth
conferencetitle with .a triumph over the
team: from Stratford Northwestern,
Secondary School in a two: game playoff
series. This was the first. time that a SDHS
basketball team had captured that title in
at least 16- ears a din to Whippets
Years, � ccor .. B pl?e
coach. Richard Burgess..
To top the season off; the girls won the
Western Ontario Secondary School
Association (WOSSA) championship in
Tillsonburg last weekend, This. was
achieved by defeating Norwich in the finals
by .a score of 54-35. Mary Thompson led:
Seaforth with 18 points, while 'Kathy
Larone, added 16.
"Everybody played well", says Coach
Burgess. "I don't think we can single
,anyone out" as being , the outstanding
player. "The: whole: team played a well
disciplined, well controlled game."
This is not the first WOSSA champion-
ship to be won by; a Seaforth team. As for
the future, the coach says, "1 don't think
we need to look forward to next year right
now. It's just a good feeling toend the
season on a successful note."
In what was probably the best weekend
for Seaforth. ,teams: in a long time, the
senior boys basketball team produced an
upset victory Saturday to win the ',Regina
Mundi Titan's tournament in London. This
is the first tournament that a Seaforth
Golden Bars team, has actually won in ten
Years, although they've; gathered several.
consolation championships.
The tournament was an upset because to
win it, the Golden Bears had to defeat the
Central Elgin Titans (tom St. Thomas, For
the past two. years, Central Elgin has won.
the All -Ontario finals. Last year they beat
Sefaorth at WOSSA, and went on to win
thattourney. Seaforth *placed third behind
Tillsonburg, Annadale.
Before Saturday's game, both the team;
and Coach Terry Johnston were not overly
optimistic about what would occur. "i
figured that we'd. be 'lucky if we stayed
within 15 points' of tilem (Central Elgin),"
says Johnston.
The coach thinks that the team's
strongest point during the gaine was
Composure, " Basically, the guys. didn't get
upset over anything. When they needed a
good play, they got it.
To get . to:. the finals, the Bears beat.
Glencoe 87-49 and Dorchester 52-49. The
score of the Central Elgin game was a close
75.68, with Seaforth's Nielsen brothers,.
Johnny and Dennis. scoring, 27 and 23
respectively..
In past years; the Golden Bears has been
a good team. This year they are winners.
One of the reasons is that there are 19`'
Bantams
homps
members on the team, this season. whereas.
in previous; years itwas difficult to find ten.
This improves practices greatly, as, it
allows game situationsto be simulated,
with full offensive and defensive lines on
the floor at once.
Several of this years members are first
year players, with Tittle experience, They
likely won't see much, if any, action this
season, However, they willbe learning the
plays. and the skills, and should form the
nucleus: of the squad in years to come.
Seaforth has the smallest high school in
the area, and in fact one of the smallest in
the province. However, despite' this, and

the lack of any sort of pre -high school
basketball" program, SDHS •has produced
two winning teams recently.
"Objectively " states Johnston," ;1'd
like ' to see them ` (the Bears) : make the
Huron -Perth playoffs, and that's --going. to
be tough (because of strong teams from
both:Stratfrod and Goderich). I'd like to see
ahem in the WOSSA'.finals."
Winning WOSSA is a. reasonable goal for
the team, as both Annadale and Central:
Elgin have moved up to the: AA' divisions,'
while Seaforth .is 'A'. Last year Seaforth
was::. third only to these awo teams. This
year they won't be in .the 'competition. If
the . Bears manage to. win -WOSSA, and it
won't he easy, then they will go on to the
provincial finals for the first time ever.'
