Sports Barons bury Bulls
Melanie Knox wins
in exhibition tune-up
school track meet
MELANIE KNOX
Melanie Knox, RR 1, Blyth, who
earlier represented the Blyth
Legion at a Regional Legion track
meet in Kitchener in July and a
provincial championship in July,
showed herformby winning the
Grade 9 track meet at Central
Huron Secondary School recently.
Melanie led all girls in the
competition with26 points. The
grade 9 track meet is designed to
identify those incoming students at
the school who show athletic
promise.
Melanie took second place in the
high jump with a jump of 1.42
metres and third in the 100 metre
race with a time of 15.15 seconds.
She won the long ju mp competition
with a jump of 4.42 metres, a full
third of a metre better than the
second place finisher. She had won
the long jump at the Legion’s
regional meet in Kitchener and
placed ninth in the all-Ontario
meet.
Tammi Medd of Blyth was also a
winner in the meet, taking the 800
metre race in a time of 2:56.5.
On the boys side of the meet,
Mark Bylsma of RR 1, Blyth, took
third in the high jump with 1.45
metres and second in the 800 metre
with a time of 2:36.7.
The Hanover Barons showed
why they are contenders for the
All-Ontario Jr. C. championship
Sunday in Ayton as they skated to
an easy 10-0 rout of the Brussels Jr.
D. Bulls. Blessed with an excep
tionally balanced line-up, 15 of the
18 Hanover skaters registered a
point with seven different goal
scorers.
John Steffler played an out
standing opening 20 minutes of
goal for the Bulls, holding Hanover
to one goal on 20 shots. Steffler
continued to display his “Midas
Touch’’ in the second period
allowing only a powerplay marker
before giving way to Jeff McGavin
at the midway point of the game.
Unfortunately for Jeff, the roof
caved in, or the wheels fell off, or
both, as the Barons scored five
goals to take a 7-0 lead to the
dressing room after 40 minutes and
added three more in the third for
the win, outshooting Brussels
48-19.
A tip-of-the-hat goes out to the
line of Sean Kieffer, Paul Coultes
and Bruce Johnston for being the
only three players not to have a goal
scored against them.
Off-ice happenings include the
signing of approximately 20 play
ers by Coach Steve Coulter, as well
as the affiliation of the Bulls with
the Listowel Cyclones of the
midwestern Jr. B. loop for the
1988-89 season.
The Bulls open their regular
schedule this Friday night in
Mitchell at 8:30. Everyone is
welcome.
