Looking Back -- A Championship Year SENIOR BASKETBALL Patterson ' s Senior Basketball team started off the 1947 season with a bang, taking the first five games by wide margins. The first and greatest defeat came when the Assumption Raiders walloped the Panthers 32-21 on the Assumption floor. Iti the final game of the schedule, the Panthers lost to the Sandwich Tartans by one point, which allowed Sandwich to finish the series undefeated. Jn the opening play-off game. Patterson handed the Assumption Raiders a 25-22 defeat, which compensated for the Panthers’ defeat in the season game. The most exciting play-off game was played between Patterson and Sandwich. Kennedy Gym was packed with cheering spectators who watched the Panthers claw tluir way to their third W.S.S.A. championship of the year. I he highlight of the game was Harry Wade’s 28 point total, which broke the collegiate basketball scoring record. This year the Panthers were an exceptionally line team, having two of the tallest players in the city. Harry Wade and Matt Cocomazzi. Also outstanding were two sharp and fast guards. Doug Wigle and Tom Tomolillo. Patterson had two newcomers to the senior team. Boh Simpson ami Wee Willie Greenwood, who proved to be great scoring threats and may well become future stars. These two lads alternated in the forward position throughout the season. The Panthers could always fall hack on excellent substitutes Mich as Kclinic Stewart. Zollic Soltes and Jim Storey, who always played their best in a game. Congratulations to the team for making such a fine show¬ ing this year, ami also to Harry Wade, the captain, for making the All-Citv Squad. BASKETBALL PLAYOFFS By the Roving Reporter Carman “Scoop” Deadline Szoke The worst defeat of the year came when tile Panthers crammed into Leamington High School ' s gym for the WOSSA opener. The score at the end of the tiresome sloppy game was 34-26. It must have been the small gym that stopped the Maroon and White, for in the return tilt the Panthers walked away with the game 51-17. In the WOSSA playoff Kitchener St. Jeromes received their first defeat of the season in Patterson gym. The Patterson crew swamped them by a terrific score of 51-20. In Kitchener St. Jeromes tried hard to win at least one of tile playoff games, hut thev did not succeed. The Panthers, in spite of the long tedious trip, whipped them 29-24. On returning to Windsor after easily capturing the OSSA title, the hoys were glad to hear that the Ontario SSA championship was resumed and that they were to leave for I oronto for a two day tournament to defend the title which the Panthers won in the last OSSA Final before the war. They were successful in defeating Sudhurv in the semi-final at Hart House on April 8. by a score of 51-45. It was a tough game all the wav through with Sudbury always getting the lead in the first part of the quarter and the Panthers having to fight hard to catch up. In the final quarter of play, the Panthers opened up and took the game with Sudbury trying hard to catch up to them—to no avail. The most exciting game of the year was the final game and the most exciting part of it was the final period. Toronto’s Runny- medc High School was leading the Panthers 30-29 at the end of the third quarter. With only one minute left to play the score was 40-45 for Runnymede and Tom Tomolillo streaked in for a shot and missed, but Wade tipped in the rebound. With only 15 seconds left to play, Jim Coulter of Runnymede missed a foul shot so the score remained 47-46. Harry Wade almost broke his Windsor record by making 27 points in Toronto. Doug Wigle and Willie Greenwood also played well in the Sudhurv game, making their most points iii a single this year. Wigle made 10 and Willie caught up to Harry Wade in the Sudbury game making 11. This year, as almost always, the Panthers have gone all tin wav to the finish and returned “Till C Jl ’ PR I C HER O KS.” tr SENIOR GIRLS’ BASKETBALL ' I he Senior Girls ' Basketball Team came within a hair’s breadth of winning the city championship. The team was tied for second place in tile play-offs with the Kennedy Clippers and lost out to the Sandwich Spartans by “1” basket in the semi-playoffs. The season started off with the team winning three successive games and then bowing to St. Joseph’s. I’he following week the Patterson Pretties overcame Kennedy by a score of 13 to 11. Pat Scott pepped up the forward line with Borofsky, Fenwick and Groh on defence. The final scheduled game was won by Sandwich by rather a large margin, hut when they met the Panther- ettes in the play-offs they had to fight hard for their victory. The team showed fine sportsmanship and it was due only to their coaching and diligence that they came so near the Championship. Fotward Line —Campbell, Kane. Scott. Cullen. Mills. Cross, Kennedy. Guard Line —Phelps (captain). Fenwick, Borofsky, Groh, Shuttlcworth, Maine. Vaughn. O’Connel. JUNIOR BASKETBALL This year’s junior basketball team joined the growing list of championship teams produced by our fine coaching taff. Mr. Dawson’s team played outstanding basketball from the season’s beginning to its end. The Juniors finished the schedule in fourth place with a record of three victories and three defeats. They entered the play-offs against Assumption and after trailing by nine points staged a thrilling conic-back to win in the dying moments of the game. The next week they continued their inspired playing to eliminate Sandwich, 30-26 amid become tlu- W.S.S.A. champions. In W.S.S.A. competitions the Juniors advanced to the final round by swamping Leamington 94-27 in two games. Throughout the year the high points of the team were its fine team spirit and great determination to win. Phil Jacobs, Don “Cno” White. Willie Casanova. Larry Cinat.

SANDWICH—PATTERSON GIRLS The Patterson lassies went into the play-offs with a fight¬ ing determination that had never been in evidence before in any of their games. The tir t half showed the Panthcrcttcs losing. The last half was filled with excitement and as the girls rallied, tlie score was nearly tied. In the third quarter “Soup” Campbell scored three successive baskets and set the team ahead. Patterson kept the lead until three minutes off the end of the game. The play was fast and furious with the scoring basket being netted hv erian Sparks. Thus the Patterson Pretties bowed out of the play-offs. Groh was the scoring whizz of tlu evening while Phelps. Fen¬ wick and Borofsky played a brilliant game of defence. The final score was 23-21. PATTERSON 4—Kennedy 1 Playing one of the best games of the season the Panther soccer team downed their arch rival, Kennedy, 4 to 1 at Wigle Park. The game began slowly: however, just before the end of the first quarter, Kennedy tallied its only goal of the game. Trailing 1 to 0 the Patterson team surged hack to tie the score and take the lead on goals by Henderson and Stefan. Kennedy was unable to threaten the Patterson goal due to the fine defensive play of Xanos and Gregg. In the second half. Patterson continued its fine style of play and had possession of the hall for almost the entire half. Greenwood tallied the third goal and Henderson ' s second goal ended the scoring. The entire team stood out in this derisive victors ll enabled the Panthers in advance into the final round again-1 Walkcrville. Page Seventeen
