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.
