19 THE LIBERAL. Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, March 30, 1972 H Earlier in the week the semi-finals had been held, also at Thornlea. with the first place finishers from Southern York County playing the second place finishers from the north, and vice versa. So, after starting out with 12 teams on Monday, the field. had been narrowed down 10 six teams by Friday. with supposedly the two best teams in each age group in York County ready to do battle. But: for the_umpteenth time. I urge you to go out next year and find out just what you have been missing. For the second game of the night, Bayview’s undefeated junior team took the floor against an extremely tall G. W. Williams team from Aurora. This team was very tall for junior age. as I would hazard to guess that not one player was below five foot ten. The Bayview Juniors have been known to start slowly in the first quarter. In this game it was a matter of not really getting started at all, as Wilâ€" liams would not let them. John Olsson was rebound- ing great for Bayview, but the team’s passing was bad. and therefore their first four points came on foul shots. At one time Bayview trailed by seven points, but fought back to close the gap to three as the quarter ended 16-13 in favor of Williams. 0t supporters coma outao tne Otner In Lne llUlEB In the second game Hamilton department as they cheered their teams on to vic- outplayed and outhustled the tory. lPlll Rollers as they showed a A very good gathering of spectators was on complete reversal of form from hand to watch the different games throughout the “1‘? .Optenénfh 323;]?- ThlS 1055 evening.

The other two were even more wide open. VERY INTERESTING This night definitely had to rank right near the top as far as being one of the most exciting sports events I have ever attended. For those who could not, or did not, attend basketball games at their high school this year, it is a little too late. City in rather easy fashion; as they’downed them 62-34. The gym was a virtual bees‘ hive as far as activity and excitement go. Not only were the three basketball games being played. but each opposing school carried on a vicious rivalry to see which group of supporters could outdo the other in the noise department as they cheered their teams on to vic- tory. The second quarter, in effect, was the one that decided the outcome of the game. Bayview fell so far behind that it would have taken an almost super human second half if they had any hopes of winning. Williams’ shooting percentage was fantastic in this quarter and Bayview became understandiny frus- trated at their inability to stop them. During one stretch of time Bayview was outscored 12â€"4 and was eventually outscored in that quarter 28-4, as Wil- liams hit on 16 straight points to end the half. Probably the most active place in this area on a recent Friday night had to be. without a doubt, Thornlea Secondary â€" and their gymnasium in par- ticular. That was the site of the York County Championship games for boys‘ midget, junior, and senior basketball leagues. ' Down by a score of 44â€"17 going into the second half, Bayview seemed rather dejected as they fully realized what lay ahead of them if they were to make any kind of run at all towards narrowing the score. Bayview started off well, but soon bad passing came back to haunt them as the Williams team had them completely unorganized in their own zone. As if this was not bad enough, there were two other factors which all but killed what spirit Bay- view had- left. The breaks definitely seemed to be going in Williams favor as Bayview pretty well had to put in a “swish” in order to get any points on the board. The other factor was the refereeing‘, which was sub-par all game. It was particularly bad in this quarter. As you may have guessed, most of the bad calls were going against Bayview. If this had been a close game, those calls would have probably made the difference. But, since there was such a large margin between the two teams, there is really no sense in bemoaning the second rate referees who called this game. The quarter endeg with Williams on top 60-29. Bayview started the fourth quarter well â€" as they strove for some respectability â€" by outscoring Williams 9-4. But once again had passing hurt them, although they finally did outscore the Aurora team 23-15. The final score read Williams 75, Bayâ€" view 52. This was not really the Bayview team that I‘ had been watching all season long. Even though 'I feel that in the long run Williams was the better team â€" if Bayview had played up to their potential and received a few more breaks both as the ball bounces and from the refs â€" I am positive Bayview would have made a very interesting game out of this donnybrook, even if they had not won. Regard- less of this game the Bayview juniors still had a fine season of which they can be proud. Congratu- lations to the entire team and Coach Mortson for an excellent season. WAY TO GO DYNES With‘ congratulations being handed out to al- most everyone in my column this week, I feel that it would be a crime if I did not personally express my sheer joy and excitement to the fact the Rich- mond Hill Dynes Jewellers are now the World Fast-- ball Champions. Congratulations should be directed towards the players and coaches, as well as anyone else who had a part in Dynes’ rise to such a lofty and prestigous perch. SUCCESSFUL SEASON The basketball season has now closed down on all fronts for another year at Bayview. And. it had to be one of the more prosperous ones too. Our junior and senior girls’ teams along with our midget boys’ all won York County Champion- ships. Our junior boys reached the finals for the York County Championship as well. That leaves our senior boys who did not have what you would call a good season. But, four out of five ain't bad at all.

It was the fifth successive year for it and it is certainly established as the best of its type in the country.
