f f 7 , , Y JE, THE it EQHQHS Girls' Senior Basketball 1zowM.xNv1LLE AT PETERBOROUGH C. V, S. girls' basketball opened their schedule in their own gym against. 0 Bowmanville. The visiting team had most of its last year's team and their combination plays proved too much for l'.C'.V.S. scxtet. The final score was 11-6 for Bowmanville and although P.C.V.S. had the majority of the play they were unable to make the necessary points. For the initial game of the season P.C.V.S. girls made a fine showing. PETERBOROUGH AT COHOURG P.C.V.S. were defeated by Cohourg, last year's champions, by a score of QS-18. Cobourg completely baffled P.C.V.S. for the first half with trick combination and short sure passes. At half time Cobourg was leading QQ-7 but for the latter part of the game P.C.V.S. put up a great fight and added to their score although they were unable to overtake the local team. PETERBOR0l'GH .XT PORT HOPE This proved to be one of the hardest games the Garnet and Grey squad had to play during their schedule. and the result was a 12 all t.ie. It was a hard-fought game with close checking and accurate passing, There were never more than Q points dif- ference in the score from the time the opening whistle blew. The teams were evenly matched as the score indicated. but P.C.V.S. had the edge on the play. PORT HOPE AT PETERBOROUGH tYhen Port Hope played a return game the local team showed a vast improve- ment. The visitors found the larger floor not to their liking and the effective checking. and accurate passing of the local team. held them down to only tive points. At half time P.C.Y.S. was leading 17-3 and at full time defeated Port Hope hy a score of Q3-5. COBOIYRG AT PETERBOROVGH 1'.C.V.S. handed Cobourg their first C.0.S.S.A. defeat of the season in a fine display of basketball-the score standing at 9-3. The game was a highly exciting one and although the visitors had many chances in close they found the large floor hard to get accustomed to. The losers failed to get a basket, making their points on free throws. P.C.Y.S. obtained a lead at the beginning of the game and main- tained it throughout. PETERBOROVGH AT BOWBIANVILLE P.C.V.S. concluded their basketball for the season by defeating Bowmanville 10-S in the most exciting game of the season. It was the fastest display of basket- ball seen in this group all year and excitement was at a fever pitch from whistle to whistle. At half time the visitors were leading by the narrow' margin of 3-Q. In the second half P.C.Y.S. managed to get the winning basket in the dying moments of the game. Both sides used good combination and checked well. with P.C.V.S. having only a slight edge on the play. The season closed with Cobourg the champions and we take this opportunity of congratulating them on their well-earned success. They went- through their schedule with only one defeat and P.C.V.S. might well feel proud of defeating such a classy team. -80-
