Rod McLeod Boys ' Spoils Director For Sheldon, this has been a good year for ath¬ letics; a very good one. Starting off the year was the football season. After ' winning the highly coveted city championship last year, the team slowed down quite a bit. It’s a young team with a lot of talent and with an able coach Mr. Young, Sheldon fans can look forward to nothing but a real fight next year. As has been the case for the last three years, Sheldon’s cross-country teams wiped out all competi¬ tion by winning 6 of 6 division titles: Senior Boys’, Senior Girls’, Junior Boys’, Midget Boys’, Midget Girls’ and Junior Girls’. For several years now, Sheldon has been recog¬ nized as one of the top basketball schools in the province and possibly in Manitoba and Alberta as well. This year was no different. Under the guidance of Mr. Aston, the boys won the Bedford Road Invita¬ tional Tournament in Saskatoon, placed third in the L.I.T., then went on to win the city, the South Sas¬ katchewan and finally the provincial title by defeat¬ ing Bedford Road by one point. A very impressive year and I’m sure the boys have the thanks of the entire school. As this year comes to a close, I would like to thank all those who have helped me in my job. My special thanks to Mr. Aston, Miss Downing, Mr. Young, Mr. Sikora and all the boys’ athletic repre¬ sentatives for everything they have done. It seems that every year now, the students of Sheldon are taking winning more and more for granted. In Senior boys’ basketball for instance, how many of us knew that Miller had an almost identical city record, right down to the points for and against. In my mind that is far from an upset victory. Yes, the Senior Boys’ actually lost games right here in Regina. Unbelievable? No, not really; one loss to Miller during league play and another in the second game of the city final, also against Miller. In both games lack of fan support was very noticeable. The same thing occurred in the football season. It is only through fortitude and determination that our teams come through. The athletes on these teams deserve, if nothing else, fan support. It’s going to be hard for our teams to win every year so get out and yell your heads off for them — OUR teams! To the students of Sheldon, the best of luck in the years to come, especially to all those graduating this spring.
