Henry Willms, Ken Atkinson, Wayne Snider. BASKETBALL In general, it was a poor year for Grantham in basketball. None of the three Gator teams were fortunate enough to make the play-offs but they fought hard all the way. SENIOR The Senior Gators were the most successful of the three teams, winning two while losing four. They beat Lakeport and Thorold but were beaten by Collegiate, Sir Winston Churchill, Merritton, and Denis Morris. The high scorer for the Senior Gators was George Chuchman who led the way with 77 points in the six regular league games. He is followed by Bob Reilly (40 points). Don Pascoe (27 points). Ken Atkinson (21 points), Pete Goertzen (17 points) and Tom Lockhart (16 points). Next year, there will be only four returnees from this year ' s Senior team. They are: Aubrey Hilko, Dave Alexander, Tom Lockhart and Pete Goertzen. With these players as the nucleus of next year ' s Senior Gators, Grantham should end up on top of the Senior League. JUNIOR For the Junior Gators, it was a disappointing season also. They managed to beat only one team, Thorold, while were themselves topped by Collegiate. Merritton, Lakeport, Sir Winston Churchill, and Denis Morris. For the Juniors, Bob Nunnenmacher was the top scorer with 60 points, during the regular season ' s play. Other high scorers were Eric Arsenault (52 points), Gord Sharp (32 points). Bob Hastings (22 points) and Al Smith (15 points). With this season over, next year ' s Junior Gators should have a much better season. MIDGET Like the Juniors, the Midget Gators won only one game and lost five. They beat Thorold but were beaten by Collegiate, Lakeport, Denis Morris, Sir Winston Churchill, and Merritton. By far the top scorer for the Midgets was Dave Mcllvride who scored 42 points during the season. He is followed by Randy Pascoe (23 points), Ralph Ettles (21 points), Dave Edwards (14 points), Ray Kalnins (10 points) and Randy Gallender (10 points). With this season ' s experience, next year ' s Midget team undoubtedly will have a successful season. STANDARD TOURNAMENT Again this year, the Senior Gators entered the St. Catharines Standard High School Basketball Tournament. By losing to Collegiate in the first round and then beating Lakeport in the second, the Senior Gators made their way into the Conso- lation Final. Then, on the last day of the Tournament, they beat Ridley College to become Consolation Champions for the second time in the Tournament ' s history.
