SENIOR GIRLS VOLLEYBALL -by Diane Gatenby Volleyball was the name of the game And teamwork with spirit was our aim Half the time we put it together The remainder clouded by unpredictable weather. The season opened with an interesting split We were hangin ' in there and lookin ' fit Tourney number two yielded two out of three But the Listowel loss left us up a tree. The third tourney added to our streak Two more losses put us up the creek But you can ' t say we didn ' t have a paddle As we showed well, putting up a good battle. In the final round we didn ' t play well We were at a loss when ' Bakes ' fell Yet we managed one to end the season With four victories and a team with reason. Clearly, every cloud has a silver lining We came out ahead and even shining As Coach Harris and her sarcastic touch Were a sunny combination. Just too much! Our Thanx Bakes, Connie, Gates, Janine, Mouse, Myrtle, Rosie and Sandy. JUNIOR GIRLS BASKETBALL This year saw the Junior Huskiettes split their basketball season, taking five and dropping four. Initially, this season saw some hardwork produce satisfaction. The team was able to put it together in the first part, chalking up a four-one win-loss record at mid-season. However, once known as a ' third-quarter ' team, the latter half of the season frowned on slow starts. Thus, we missed a play-off spot by one game, three points short on the scorebosird. Nonetheless, several tall points were experienced this season, and we have Coach Harris to thank. Sometimes good things do come in small packages! SENIOR BOYS VOLLEYBALL The senior team this year had a very respectable season. The scheduling was set up in the form of four mini tournaments in Perth County and the same in Huron County. The top three teams from each county then competed in a final tournament for the championship and the right to go on to WOSSA. During the mini tournaments our team was very strong losing only to Listowel and hence ending up in second position. In the final tournament we played all the other five teams with the following results: (a) OUR SCORE (b) (c) 15 15 15 15 (d) (e) Listowel OUR SCORE 15 8 15 4 St. Mary ' s 15 11 15 8 Exeter 1 6 Goderich 13 13 Clinton 11 15 5 15 We lost to St. Mary ' s in this series whereas we had beaten them every time previously. This eliminated our team from WOSSA. (St. Mary ' s went on to win WOSSA). The boys had a very successful season showing good team effort and sportsmanship. This team has set a good precedent for other volleyball teams to try to match.
