f 5 5 ' GIRLS' BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS For the second consecutive year the Blue and White lassies have won the B championship of 'Wayne County. This is a remarkable record for a girls' team and in the past three years the girls have won 44 games and have lost only eight. The first year under Coach Drews the team finished in second place while the past two years have found our girls on the top rung. But to get on with the story. The girls started out well and won the first six games but they then struck a snag and were defeated by our old rivals from Williamson by a 11-10 score. Victory after victory rolled in for the lassies until the end of the season found Williamson and Ontario tied, with the crucial game to be played on the Williamson court. The new Williamson gymnasium was packed for this contest. At half time the score was tied at 12 points apiece. Came the second half. Ontario obtained the ball and held on to it the greater part of the period. When the smoke cleared and the battle was over the S0013 board read: Ontario 27, Williamson 12. The Williamson lassies hadn't score a point in the second half. Spectators claimed it was the fastest game they had ever witnessed, either girls' or boys' competition. This clinched the banner for our girls and once more they were champions. The team record for the year is outstanding. Our players registered 298 points to their opponents' 119 points. They won fifteen games and lost on y one. Captain Vifaterman scored 118 of the 298 points made by our team. The entire squad of fourteen girls was used in practically every game thereby keep- ing all of the girls interested in this fine sport. It is with a feeling of regret that we are forced to chronicle the fact that seven of our favorites are leaving this year. These girls have worked faithfully for four years for their Alma Mater and it has been chiefly through their efforts that we have had such a fine record. The school will feel keenly the loss ef Captain Waterman. Fern Brundigc, Caroline Brundige, Ethel Lebbert, Beatrice Smith. Ruth Faas and-Ruth Downs. . Manager Marjorie 'Johns is also leaving our group and it must be said that her work has plaved an important part in the making of the past season a success. Coach Bill Drews has had considerable success with girls' basketball and the smooth working combinations which he has turned out prove that he deserves much credit for the fine showing made. Miss Drake, our faculty ad- visor. has given much of her time to the team and has done much to promote the success of the season. Sportsmanship was the keynote of the team spirit and we are proud that our girls are pl-wing the game not onlv to win but also in the proper spirit.

6.- l 7 l A l VARSITY BASKETBALL Basketball at Ontario enjoyed one of its best seasons this past year. Because of the loss of several key men from last year 's team Coach Drews was forced to develop reserve material from the ranks of inter-class basketball. These men did their jobs well in spite of the fact that they lacked experience. The nucleus of the team remained the same as last year's team and when the season open- ed the 1931-32 edition of the Ontario High School was ready for an interesting campaign. The team started well winning the first three games over Red Creek, Savannah and North Rose respectively. The loss of several men through ineligibility broke up the winning combination and the team did not regain its stride until the close of the season. North Rose finally won the league but the BH championship of the county narrowed down to Williamson and Ontario. Each team had won one game and a third was necessary to decide which team would represent Wayne County in the sectional championship at Rochester. Ontario won the third game of the series in an exciting game played at Palmyra. This gave the boys the right to play Churchville, B champions of Monroe County. The Blue and VVhitc came through and defeated Churchville to win the Wayne-Monroe title. At the tom-n--ment in Rochester, Ontario was unfortunate in drawing the best team in the ''B competit.ionthe very first night. Cuba won out but only after a gallant fight. In the consolation game Ontario outfought tilreigsville but finally lost. out by a two-point margin after an uphill battle just failed to pull the game out of the fi1'e. Robert Mattison of Ontario proved to be the second best foul shooter in the B class. He lost out to Older of Cuba. Ontario scored. during the season, 445 points to the opponents' 411. The team won a majority of its games and was recognized by all opponents as a worthy foe. The entire squad is back again next year and we hope that the Blue and White will make as fine a showing as it has this year. Much credit must be given to Manager Floyd Norton and assistant managers Maylon Riker and Kenneth Boekhout.. Their work at the games stood out as evidence of excel- lent management. Coach William Drews also deserves much credit. He is com- pleting his third year and will be back again next year. He has had four championship teams in the three years coaching at Ontario. The 1931-32 team not only excelled in making a good showing on the court but they also displayed a Eno spirit of sportsman ship both on and off the court.
