And he thinks they deserve to be there. with tough wins over Western and Bruck which earned them an 0119. final berth against Ottawa last weekend. The biggest one was that the Hawks were " club divid- ed, and that diwmsiun would lead tty the teanis downfall. The Hawks had previous- ly beaten the Gees Gees by eight points in an earlier meeting this season. And the club had a lot of confr dence they could do it again. despite playing in the Gee Gees' home gym. The one positive that the team took out of the loss was earning the trip to Win, nipeg with their upset wins over Western and Brock. But after taking a 41 -29 lead into halftime, the Hawks came out cold in the second half and dropped a tough 64-60 decision.

That included three tough road games against Western, Brock and Ottawa that tested the Hawks met- tle. "our goal is to take that first game.
