PAGE 17; ports Blyth Atom Reps win Bulls set sights on 3rd place It's mine Players on the Brussels Bulls and the Walkerton Blackhawks reach for the puck at the side of the Walkerton net. The game on Nov. 28 was very physical, with several penalties by both teams. Brussels lead at the end of the first 1-0 and earned the victory with a strong effort in the third. The final score was 3-2. The Brussels Bulls head into a big weekend looking to move closer to third place in the Western Junior C standings. With a win and a loss on the weekend the Bulls now have 10 points, three back of third place Hanover, but, with a Blyth Tykes beat Hensall The Blyth Tykes had a successful hockey game in Hensall on Saturday, Nov. 27. Ryan McClinchey opened the scoring, but Hensall quickly responded with Danny Mass scoring, despite some great goal- tending efforts by Blyth's Tyler Kernighan. The Anderson brothers, Luke and Cody, and Brett Bean made some grand end-to-end rushes in an attempt to score, however their efforts were thwarted by the Hensall goalie. Even Michelle Cook's careful positioning and accurate shooting was stopped. Taylor Hesselwood's persistent shooting and digging, however, finally pulled Blyth ahead, by a goal and Darcey Cook, a recruit from the Blyth Beginners, added the insurance goal. Hensall tensed-up the game again with Erik Lawrence scoring. However, Justin Peters eased the stress by delighting the fans with his hockey ability, scoring four unanswered goals, as well as making some excellent defensive plays. He was assisted by Tammy Root and Christopher Bernard who both contributed for the win. Michelle Cook scored the final goal to end the game and each player earned praise for their tireless efforts, from coaches Jeff Peters and Doug McClinchey. Crusaders lose close one Mike Chapman's powerplay goal with 2:30 left on the clock gave the Milverton 4-Wheel Drives a 7-6 victory over Brussels in WOAA Senior A hockey Sunday night. The loss gives the Crusaders a six win, four loss record at the midway point of their schedule. A 3-1 Crusader first period lead was quickly erased when Milverton scored three goals in two minutes Continued on page 19 game in hand. Brussels will be in Hanover Friday night at 8:30, then travel to Walkerton Sunday afternoon to play the fourth place Blackhawks. The Hawks are just a point up on Brussels with Walkerton also playing one more game. Saturday night the Bulls dropped an 8 - 6 decision to the Wingham Ironmen. Brussels fell behind 4 - 1 in the first period but battled back to even the score after 20 minutes. Brian Zabel scored three times and Pete Mulder intercepted a pass in the Ironmen zone which he flipped past Wingham Goalie Adam Skillen. In the second, the Ironmen again went ahead 6 - 4. Bill Henry scored the Bull's goal on a slapshot from the blueline. The referee did not immediately signal a goal but after checking with his linesmen ruled it a goal. Brussels tied the score midway through the third period when defencemen Tim Beyer tipped a pass from Greg Brown into the net after jumping into the rush, but the Bulls couldn't hang on. Wingham scored with just under six minutes remaining and then added an empty netter with 28 seconds left on he clock to seal the 8-6 win. After a few hours of sleep the Bulls were back at it Sunday afternoon, but this time with a better result. Brussels edged the Walkerton Blackhawks 3-2 thanks to a big third period effort. Josh Alexander, who had been moved up to the wing to fill in for the injured Peter Ryter, banged home a Jonathon Lane pass just two minutes into the contest. In the second period, Walkerton went out in front 2-1 on a pair of powerplay goals. The Bulls ran into a rash of penalties and if not for some excellent penalty killing and some strong goaltending from Scott Walls they would have been buried. The Bulls got the spark they needed from Greg Fritz in the third period. The left winger was in front of the net when he pounced on a rebound and tucked it into the open cage. All things considered, the Bulls would have been happy with the tie but Darin Alviano had other ideas. The 16-year-old rookie slipped a backhand past Hawk's goalie Jon Biesenthal for the winner with less than two minutes remaining. Walkerton pulled their goalie but the Bulls closed the door.
