Senior and Junior basketball teams defeated by Danny Millar A ten foot jump shot by forward Stan Glass with a split second left on the clock School Midget Rebels a 45-44 win over the GL Roberts Lakers in Oshawa on | Monday, February 11. The win was the only one for the newly re-named Rebels as both juniors and senior teams lost. Roberts led almost all the way but not by very much. They held a 10-7 first quarter lead, 22-21 at the half, and 33-28 at the three-quarter point in time. Port Perry went into a tight man to man @. defence at the beginning of the fourth quarter and it helped them gain a slight lead. The Rebs took their second time out of the fourth quarter with 1:30 left down by two points; 42-40. But the team refused to quit. Guard Donnie Young of the Rebels hooped one shot to tie the score at 42-42, with 1:17 left. He missed a free throw in a bonus situation with less than a minute to go and it looked like the Lakers @ put the game away when "Tony Stravato, the top scoring Laker with 12 points, banked in a shot with 35 seconds - showing on the clock. 3 After a missed opportunity by Roberts, Port brought the | ball downcourt and Young took a shot from the top of the key area which deflected off the rim. Glass was parked under the basket to toss in the rebound. Glass finished the game @ with five points while Mark Phillips had six. Young topped both teams with 27. gave the Port Perry High Andy Fisher had two points while Jamie Lane and Mark Kerry had one each. SENIORS LOSE For the second time this year, the senior Rebels were' downed by the Joe Roznik led Lakers, this time by a 62-44 margin. Roznik is the high scoring forward who quarterbacks the Laker offence and is one of the top rebounders on the team. His best shots came from near foul line. Roznik finished with 18 points, followed closely by Steve Fitzgerald's 14. Two other Lakers, Rob Marner (12) and Kevin Desbarres (10) ended up with double figure scores. Port Perry jumped into the lead, scoring the first four points, as Mike Patton played a strong early game and came up with a pair of steals. Roberts had no trouble running and passing through the full court press applied by the Rebels as they racked up 12 points in the first frame, doubling the Reb's number. Roberts increased its lead in the second segment as Port Perry ran into five team fouls and subsequent bonus trouble. A foul shot by Dennis Franssen, who has been one of the most im- proved players on the team - this year, with two seconds left brought Port to within 24-17. Franssen was a sub- stitute guard last season who has stepped into a starter's spot this term. He is a dangerous scorer from deep in the corner.

Sixteen rinks battled it out last Saturday at the Port Perry Curling Club at the annual Frank Real Estate bonspiel. The men's open spiel atttracted some good rinks and the competition was reported to be Lakers in the second half. At one point in the third period Roberts had three shots before they scored. This also happened on at least one other occasion. Eight quick points from Patton and George Cop drew the Rebels to within two points in the last minute of the third quar- ter. And then a half court "Hail Mary" shot by Jerry Fitzgerald that went in gave the Lakers a 37-33. The shot seemed to demoralize the Rebels as they couldn't generate a con- sistent offence in the final eight minutes. Roberts went into a four corner defensive stall in the final minutes. Patton, Cope, and Bob Ire- land all fouled out in the final minute. Cope and Patton led the team in scoring with 18 and 14 points respectively. The junior Rebels were without starting guard Todd Wilbur who was ill and so they brought up Young and Phillips from the midget squad. Young saw little action while Phillips rode the bench. John Butler and Peter Christie started together in the backcourt, an unfamiliar position for Christie. They played well, as a unit as they combined for nine points, in a 59-34 thumping. pe Roberts utilized an effec- tive fast break offence to ATOM TOURNAMENT Saturday, February 23 SPONSORED BY PORT PERRY LIONS CLUB M. - Port Perry vs. Stouffville M. -Oshawa vs. Uxbridge take a 20-5 lead after eight minutes.
