Saturday's Proud to be Canadian See Corner Five column for more Cawker basketball teams have a very successful season The basketball program at S.A. Cawker has enjoyed an- other exciting and successful season. The coaches of the vari- ous teams wish to congratulate each team member for their skill development, sportsman- ship and dedication to the game. In D.E.A.A. competition at the Intermediate Level both our boys and girls teams were busy with tournaments and games into early March. Our Interme- diate Girls were successful in capturing the Major Schools Area Pennant in the D.E.AA. plavotts. We wish all our gradu- ation plavers well as they pur sue their basketball careers at Port Perry High School. Cur Junior teams playing in D.E.A.A. action also enjoyed successful seasons. The Junior Girls showed fine improvement but just couldn't get by Cart- wright P.S. in Central Durham Area playoffs. Our Junior Boys team worked hard but came up one basket short of winning the Central Durham Pennant. As the runner-up team they quali- fy to play in the All Durham Fi- nal 12 Tournament during this last week of April. Good luck to our Junior Eagles as they com- pete in this elite tournament for all Durham honors. Although the Grade 7 year does not involve D.E.A A. level competition, the Cawker coach- es maintain Grade 7 teams dur- ing the season. In the few games and tournaments entered by the Grade 7 teams, we antici- pate exciting Intermediate Di- vision play next year. The annu- al Grade 7 Scugog Tournament on Saturday, April 25 ended our season in fine form. In "A" Divi- sion play our girls were edged out by Sunset P.S. while the boys were narrowly defeated by Dr. R. Thornton P.S.in "B" Divi- sion action. A special word of thanks is ex- tended to our table officials and tournament helpers. S.A. Caw- ker is host to many basketball tournaments throughout the year and these dedicated stu- dents ensure that each tourna- ment is run "first class." We also appreciate the parent volun- teers who assist in driving our teams to schools across Durham Region. Both the players and coaches appreciate your valu- able contribution. As the basketball season draws to an end with our Junior Boys in all Durham action, we congratulate all S.A. Cawker Eagles and look forward to an- other busy and exciting pro- gram next year. Remember that our new outdoor basketball court is open all summer for both parents and students to enjoy this active game. lington. here." flag drops, the good times stop.' tember. From Corner Five by John 'Wally' Nesbitt On any given work day, you can find Kenny Wilden earning his keep as a Centre Director for Young Drivers of Canada in his hometown of Bur- And on weekends, Kenny takes the company credo of cautious, defen- sive driving to various race tracks around the countryside and tosses it right out the window of his racing Pringles Z28 Camaro. A time and place for everything, I guess. Now entering his fourth season in the highly competitive Players Ltd./ GM Motorsports Series, Kenny is one of the young lions on the circuit and his successes last year have made the 27-year-old driver hungry for more. "We won twice, at Montreal and Trois-Riviere, and one little mistake cost me the win at Toronto. Unfortunately, as the year went on, some bad luck dropped us from second place overall and we finished the season in seventh." Admits Wilden, "I didn't like that." With the eight race schedule set to begin at Mosport on the Victoria Day Weekend, Wilden wants to better his fortunes and is optomistic about his chances for the series championship but he is rightfully con- cerned when it comes to the opposition. He concedes that his main compe- tition will probably come from former series winner Richard Spenard and his new teammate John Cadman Jr. as well as the reigning champion Rob Fellows and his stable mate, Terry Betts. And if the rumors are true about Trans-Am driver Ron Fellows rejoining the fray, that could "Change the equation again." Running with this pack, Kenny will defi- nitely have to keep a close watch on his mirrors. The business of racing, though, is not restricted to the track. Racing is expensive and unless a driver is born with a platinum spoon in his mouth, he must rely on sponsors to carry the financial burden. This is why you will find good drivers, like Wilden, donning the sponsor's name and mak- ing public appearances as he did this weekend. "A big part of the success of this series is the visibility and availability of the cars and the drivers to the public," explains Wilden's manager, Jerry Priddle. "(former Scugog Island councillor} Al Goreski contacted me to ask us if we would be interested in coming to Port Perry for the Proud to be Canadian Day and we jumped at the chance. We've got a new sponsor this year with Pringles Snacks coming on board and this is a great occa- sion to show off our new colors. Besides, it looks like a fun celebration It was fun, but to paraphrase an old racing saying, "When the green "In three weeks the hard work will begin in earnest for racers hike Kenny Wilden because, as he says, championship I really want to win!" *Just one quick footnote. .If you would like to catch Kenny and the oth- er Players/GM drivers in this Proudly Canadian Series, they will be mak- mg two appearances at Mosport this year.
