BDHS SPORTS Our juniors got off to a very slow start, but now, with our freelcourt zone press we are making the other teams turn the ball over consistently. Although our record is 0â€"7 at this time, we exâ€" pect to win at least three of our five remaining games. Watch out in the play-offs. The Rideau Senior Knights have an abundance of players with an excellent - attitude toward team play and especially team defence. It is this good attitude and unselfishness which has led the_ - Knights to seven straight victories without a defeat during the regular season. An example of this teamwork took place in our last game, when, trailing by 1 point with 1 minute to go, we got the ball in our end. The team members worked the ball around until there were less than 10 seconds left. Then Ernie Perrin, who was scoring con- sistently, drove towards the basket. At the last second, he gave the ball off to Kirk Bryden, who popped the winning basket. It is this kind of attitude that helps a team tremendous- ly. By the way, the final score: Rideau 52 â€" North Grenville 51 RIDEAU PLAYER PROFILES Ernest Perrin was an outstanding member of the Rideau Junior Knights for two years and played part of last year as a forward for the Senior Knights. This is Ernie's first year at guard and he is adapting very well to the position. Ernest's attributes are his speed with the ball and his ability to force the opposing team into many f uls. With a more disciplined defence and better outside shooting, Ernest will be a com- plete player. He was also a member of the Rideau Lions football team for the past two seasons and this year was named out- standing player on tho team. An excellent hockey player as well, Ernest has foregone hockey this year to concentrate on hir studi s. Next year he plans to enter Unix-rsity.
