Gaels‘ record unblemished despite scare from Vikings By Rick Campbelli Chronicle Sports Editor They didn‘t knock Cameron Golden Gaels from the undefeated ranks in the last game of the Waâ€" terloo County senior boys schedule Tuesday, but Waterloo basketball Vikings did serve notice that Gaels might not waltz to the County chamâ€" pionship uncontested â€" n fact, were it not for a dying seconds unâ€" forced turnover by Vikings, Gaels 5250 victory might have ended quite differently â€" But ifs are a dime a dozen and the end result told the tale that Gaels finish atop the WCSSAA standings with an unblemished 13â€"0 record while Vikings‘ ledger stands at 10â€"3 entering this weeâ€" kend‘s opening pool of playoff action.
