The Kings, game up at 4-4. Interceptions hamper drives Staff photo P.S.S. drops final game to Alliston last Friday Last Friday was not a good day for the Penetanguishene _Seco- ndary School football team; they went down to defeat in the league finals to Alliston, by a score of 24-6. Coach Larry Banks said the defeat was not as bad as the score would indicate. He said the team moved the ball well, but just couldn't get the scores. Early in the game, with the score still nothing- nothing the P.S.S. squad found itself in the position of having a first down, goal to go, on the Alliston two-yard line. They came up dry. By the end of the first half, the score was 12-0 for Alliston. Banks said the tide seemed to rurn in the second half. P.S.S. kicked off, and managed to recover its own kick They marched the ball down the field, and finally Lloyd Cascagnette scored to put the team back into the game On the kickoff they tried a short kick, but couldn't recover it. They did, however, manage to get the ball back a few Dump Brock 51-29 plays later, got rolling, and looked as though they would tie the game up, when Alliston came up with a big interception. Banks said in- terceptions were a major factor in the game. He said P.S.S.. was_ in- tercepted four times, and each time it seemed to happen just when the team was moving the ball well, "All through the game we got-chances to come back," he said. "But every time we started to move the ball, we were intercepted."' Banks said that the entire coaching staff of the team, including Mate Lichtenberg, Wayne Morrison, Jake Dupuis, and himself, were '"'more than pleased" with the performance of the team over the season. He said the coaches had started off the year with only four players who had ever played football before. This season, he said, had been intended to be a building year, and the team's-second-place finish and subsequent trip to the finals was more than they had dared hope for at the beginning of the season. Juniors win sudden death game in high school basketball playoff The Penetanguishene Junior girls' basketball team came a step closer to the zone championship yesterday, when it downed Brock 51-29 in a sudden death game at Penetanguishene _Seco- ndary School. Gail Kingsley said the Penetanguishene girls played a very strong game, particularly in the last quarter, when they scored 17 points. P.S.S. led throughout, and at the half way mark, they led 23-13. The high scorer for Penetanguishene was Judy Payne, who scored 14 points. K. McRae was the high scorer for Brock, scoring nine points. Kingsley said she didn't know yet who the team would be playing in the finals, but she suspected they would play Orillia District Collegiate and Vocational Institute on Wednesday in Orillia. The junior team wasn't so lucky Monday af- ternoon; they played Elmvale in Elmvale, and went down to defeat 44-9. Cathy Bidan was the high scorer for Penetanguishene, picking up three points, while Kingsley said Elmvale led throughout, leading 15-4 at the half. She said the P.S.S. girls had dif- ficulty adjusting to the smaller gymnasium in Elmvale. She said Elmvale made use of a full court press, and managed to keep the P.SS. girls from scoring. She added that the Elmvale team was bigger than the P.S.S. team, and could out-jump the P.S.S. girls. Dribbling up the court In midget girls basketball action at Elmvale District High School on Monday afternoon, the Elmvale girls overpowered the visiting Penetanguishene Secondary School team. The final score of game was 44-9 for Elmvale. The PSS girls experienced difficulty ad- justing to the smaller Elmvale court. The Elmvale team is obviously well trained and appear to be a stronger team compared to the PSS girls. Staff photo Junior Kings undefeated in three starts, The Penetanguishene Chemical Valley Junior Kings finished the weekend of play with their unbeaten record ° intact, as they defeated Huntsville 7-4 Friday night, and tied Parry Sound 4-4 Sunday af- ternoon.

St. Amant and Vince DeCola got the assists on that goal. What turned out to be the winning goal was scored with 9:15 remaining in the second, when DeCola took the face-off and got the puck to Ken Cowan who put it in the net.

In the net for the Kings, Joe Rankin started the game, but was relieved by John Duval half way through the second period. Settle for tie Sunday afternoon's game was a lot closer, as about 600 people turned out at the Parry Sound arena to watch the Kings and the Parry Sound Shamrocks battle to a 4-4 tie. The game was close throughout, and neither team was ahead by more than one goal at any point in the game. John St. Amant opened the scoring with the only goal of the first period, from Vince De Cola, with only 2:01 remaining. The team appeared a little sloppy in the first period, and failed to mount an effective attack when it had a two man advantage for about a minute. It took Parry Sound until the 6:43 mark of the second to tie the game, and then St. Amant scored his second of the game shortly after that, on a power play, from Andy Zurawski. St. Amant took the puck near the blue line, stick han- dled his way in to the net, then pulled the goalie out of position and tucked the puck in behind him. Early in the third period, Crawford scored for Parry Sound on a breakaway to tie the game once again. Then, just over a minute later, Andy Zurawski picked up an unassisted goal when he beat the Parry Sound goal tender cleanly with a shot through the legs from about 40 feet out. Casey Orr scored for Parry Sound off the draw at the 6:51 mark of the third to tie the game once again, and picked up his second of the game five minutes later to put the Shamrocks out in front for the first time in the game.

"I'm hoping the Midgets beat Park," she said Monday, "They only lost by one point the last time they played and I think they can win this time." The key to beating Park is to cover their strongest player according to Kelly. "She's almost a team by herself," she said, "she can dribble circles around everybody and she can shoot. They're going to have to keep her out of it to win." Margaret Hamelin will be the key player for St. Theresa's and will most likely lead their scoring attack as usual. St. Theresa's Juniors will try a zone defense against their faster moving opponents from ODCVI in an attempt to make the game closer and afford themselves a chance to win. Kelly cited the Senior teams shooting record as the reason for their failure to place higher this year. "They had good offence and defence but they couldn't sink them when they got the chance. In one game they had 70 shots at the basket and only scored on 20 of them." points; Twin Lakes school from Orillia took the con- solation prize, defeating Alliston 31-23 in the consolation finals.
