High School Juniors Become New Georgian Bay District Champions First In School’s History The juniors journey to Toronto’s Danforth Technical School this Saturday for a one o'clock game against the Lake Ontario ,Champs and if they are fortunate enough to win it they play at seven for the C.O.S.S.A. championship trophy. Retain North York Cup The series with Gravenhurst produced strange forms of basket- ball. At Gravenhurst the Juniors had to resort to a 1-3-1 zone as the floor was too short and crowded to play the usual man-for-man de- fense. The Gravenhurst team was small, fast and trigger happy. They seemed to shoot every time they got the ball and the backboards had the rebounding quality of a wet dish rag with the result that they gave the Richmond Hill team a scare. The return game was played at Richmond Hill and as everyone knows the annual At Home dance made the floor quite slippery. Both teams used wet towels and resin to make their running boots get trac- tion but the teams spent a good part of their time sitting down. The Juniors used a slow break and a loose defense and held Graven- hurst to only three field goals for the whole game. Clark Dedlow The local squad has come a long way and still is undefeated in lea- gue play. Two weeks ago, they retained the North York Cham- pionship Cup and then headed north to meet Midland. They deâ€" feated their old rivals by scores of 50-27 and 51â€"25. They were really hot for this Midland series and the greenshirts made no mistakes in eliminating the Midland Blues. Last Monday afternoon Richmond Hill District High School Junior Basketball team became the first Georgian Bay District C.O.S.S.A. champions in the school’s history. They entered this select position by humbling the Gravenhurst quintet by an overwhelming 43-13 score on the game and a 78-38 score on the two game total point series.
