BASKETBALL ' 73 SENIOR BOY ' S BASKETBALL This year it is said that we have the best Senior Huskies team, in the History of Northwestern The HusM s had a perfect season with 9 league wins and losses. We proved to be succesful because o our powerful defence and offense with players like John Bell Ivan Coulthard Doug Horst Steve Smethurst, and Bob Bain on the starting line. The other players were good follow- up players. . , In our Annual Huskies Tournament, we bombed East Elgin 91-9 in the first game with everyone scoring. This led us to the finals against the Central Ramblers. However we lost a well played game to them by a slim margin of 55-49. In our league games we were powerful over the Huron-Perth teams and usually won by a large margin. We had our greatest battle against the Central Ramblers, but we came out victorious with a 62-60 win, moving us into first place. The team finished with a 21 win - 5 loss record for the season. The Huskies were in the Huron-Perth finals and also in the W.O.S.S.A. finals with Central. This year the Senior Huskies are number ' ONE ' . JUNIOR BOYS BASKETBALL The Junior Huskies ended up with a season record of 18 wins and 8 losses. The Juniors beat London Central who won their conference. In league play the Huskies ended up with a 7 - 2 win-loss record which put them into third place. When the playoffs came, the Juniors had to place against Central, but lost to them by a score of 54 - 48. This put the juniors out of contention to win the Huron-Perth title. But our Juniors got to go to W.O.S.S.A. which was held in our school. The Junior Huskies did well. First they beat the Medway Cowboys then went on to beat East Elgin, who had beaten them in the Huskie Tournament. The Junior Huskies were beat in the final game against W.O.S.S.A. The team would like to thank Mr. Wright for his outstanding job at coaching m his final year as a basketball coach. :f: MIDGET BOYS BASKETBALL Northwestern Huskie Midgets finished the basketball year by winning the Perth Huron Tournament Championship for the second straight year by defeating Listowel 37 - 34 in the championship match.
