® THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, Merch 10, 1964 SENIOR LOSE 41-40 COSSA Basketball Games Heartbreakers For OCCI By BRIAN WILLIAMS - (OCCI Reporter) Last Saturday, the Central junior and_ senior basketball teams travelled to Belleville to compete in the COSSA bas- ketball tournament. Saturday dawned bright, sun- ny and windy. After a delay while we tried to find Mr. Mc- Ilveen, the senior coach, we finally got rolling at: about 10.45 a.m, There were two busloads of Centralites; players, cheer- leaders, and spectators. It looked like a fun day and we enjoyed it all the more because we knew that most of the other Oshawa high school students were at home cram- ming, while we were finished with our exams. Yuk!: yuk! On the long trip down, Mr. Mcliveen did his best to keep his players quiet. But on the spectator bus it was a differ- ent story. We sang boisterously and were tremendously inspir- ed every once in a while when the Beatles came on the radio, even though we got mostly. sta- tic. I hardly noticed the differ- ence, DONEVAN BANTAMS When we arrived in Belle- ville we discovered the bright and smiling faces of our dear friends from Donevan. The Donevan team represented Lake Ontario in the bantam division, an dthey wen. their first game, thus gaining a place in the finals. The first Central game was at 1.45 p.m. Our juniors met the junior team from Belle- ville Quinte high school. In the first quarter, it look- ed like a tight game would de- velop, as both teams checked each other closely and neither could score. But then John Raskovic open- ed the scoring for Central with a single point on a foul shot. From there on, Central broke away and piled up points. In the second quarter, Quinte stag- ed a comeback, but this was soon stopped. Central took con- trol of the game in the second half, with Marion Stefaniak and John Raskovic hitting well. The game ended with Central trouncing Quinte, 63 to 36. Big guns for Central in this game were John Raskovic, with 25 points, and Marion Stefaniak and Peter Kilistoff, who count- ed for 13 points each. ae Other junior team members are B. Langley, Jim Nawrot, Joe Krasnaj, Chuck Marlowe, R. Bilinsky, M. Skoblikoskyj, R. Jacula, Jerry Kuzenchuk, and Gord Perkins. Top scorers for Quinte were Lessela and Vol- year, with seven each. SENIORS LOSE! Immediately after this game, our seniors lost to Belleville Collegiate in the senior semi- finals. This game was_ painful, to say the least. People usually -complain about the officials in a game anyway, but this time the refereeing was really sick- ening. I kid you not. I don't want to make excuses for our team, they don't need it. They proved what a great team they are by their playing, and they proved their sportsmanship when they didn't simply haul off and belt the referee. I'm not saying 'Belleville did- n't have a good team. But as far as I'm concerned, I think Central played a slightly better game, and they got a raw deal from the refs. CLOSE GAME The game was close all the way, with the lead changing hands every few minutes. Larry Horne was having a ball. , Throughout most of the game, he couldn't do a thing wrong. Every shot told, no matter how or from where he shot it. His defence consisted of cracking jokes at his opponent to d tract him. Don Calder got a slow start, but finally got roll- ing and counted for 9 points. Meanwhile, Walter Rudy kept plunking them in, and totalled 9 points; FATAL Swan, the big gun for Belle- ville, also got a slow start, but when he: started to click he proved fatal to Central. There was more excitement in the final quarter of this game than I have ever seen in basketball. Every spectator was on his feet and screaming, as the players flashed from one end of the court to the other. The teams matched each other point for point right down to the wire. But every few mo- ments, Central got called for a foul. Both teams showed good sportsmanship, and neither one was rougher than the other, but Belleville got 14 foul shots in the game. Central got seven. As the final seconds. ticked away, Belleville was ahead, 41 to 40. The crowd was scream- ing. With three or four seconds left, Larry Horne broke away down the court. Every Central- ite held his breath, waiting for the winning basket. Then -- you guessed it. The referee's whistle rang out, he gave the ball to Belleville; for reasons I haven't yet figured out, and the game ended. Belleville won, 41 to 40. Swan was top scorer for Belleville with 16 points, while Williams got 7 and whoever wore sweater No. 31 got 9. Larry Horne led Central's scoring with 16 points. Don Calder and Walter Rudy tallied 9 each. Other members of Cen- tral's- Senior team are Jim Rowden, Wayne Haas, Ted Marchut, Bob Cory, Jerry Gaatch, Lloyd Heholt, and Bob Hraynyk, The spectators and players then got a well-needed break, and left the stifling hot gym- nasium to see the sights of Belleville (?) I don't think the restaurants or friendly traffic policemen in Belleville will for- get us for a while, though they may try. At 7.15 p.m. we returned to the gymnasium for the final in the junior division, and found Dance Music By Echoes At Anderson By VELVA VOOGJARV (Anderson High) Exams are finally over for all classes and to celebrate their completion, a well-attended Tea Dance was held in the gym on Friday afternoon between 3.15 and 5.00. Entertainu:ent was provided by the Echoes, a swinging group oi Anderson talent, consisting of. Ray Abermann on_ saxophone, Jim Kennedy and Tom Lakey on guitars, and Bill White on drums. Everyone danced off their examination tensions and now are anticipating their re- sults, : WRESTLING At the COSSA wrestling play- offs in Belleville on Saturday, February' 29, the Anderson werstlers placed third out of 14 schools, although represented by only five wrestlers. Gary Curl was victorious in the 183-pound class, Bob Gauthier, Gary Jef- freys, and Cy Szymczak placed second im their respective weight groups, and Frank Hill came fourth in his class. The former four-also went on to the is-| Ontario finals in Kitchener on Friday and Saturday. that Donevan had lost in the bantam finals in a very close game with Pejerborough. In the junior tilt, Oshawa Central was back again to take on Belleville Collegiate. The game was in part a con- test between two methods of attack. Central drove in for lay-ups, while Belleville re- lied on jump shots from far out. In the first quarter, Cen- tral's tactics seemed wiser, and we took an early lead, as Belleville couldn't sink their long shots. In the second quarter, the Belleville players began to hit well, and they pulled ahead. In the second half, the Central team had to fight the refs again as well as the other team. One was fair enough, but the other seemed to bé a solid Belleville fan. Central was tak- ing more shots, but they were not hitting at all. Then Peter Kilistoff started to get hot. It ivvked like Central could win it, as each of Pete's famous jump shots told. But we ran afoul of the refs again, who seemed to have something spe- cial against Marion Stefaniak and Jim Nawrot. The game ended with Belleville leading, 46 to 40. Peter Kilistoff was Central's star in this game, with 19 points. Stefaniak and Raskovic each tallied 7. Walsh led Belleville's effort with 14 points, while Mott count- ed 7. Also a help to the Belle'. | Blleyille players complete ence. The Belleville themseves showed excellent After the games, Centralites were found in the halls with smoke coming from their ears, looking for referees to stomp. on. But by the time we got on the bus, the players had calm- ed down, and gradually the spectators recovcred too. We were singing again on the way home.
