The South Huron District High School girls golf team won the Huron-Perth Golf Tournament at Listowel Golf and Country Club Sept. 19 with a winning combined score of 286, 43 strokes better than the closest competi- tion. Karly Pinder led the girls with an excellent round of 44 on the front nine and 42 on the back nine. Pinder also received individual honours for the lowest score. Brittany Caldwell followed up with the next best score and Kathleen Westerhout and new member Katie Stewart also had good scores. The South Huron girls have won this championship for three straight years. The Panther boys also turned in a good score of 251 but were out of the running for the title. Listowel and Stratford Northwestern were forced into a playoff round with Listowel coming out on top. The South Huron team of veterans Matt Dietrich, Cam Murray and Cam Becker with rookie Mark Dietrich had good games but the wind became a major factor on the unfa- miliar course. South Huron golf coach Casey Cook said the good showing by both of his teams speaks well of the level of competition in junior golf in this area. “Many thanks to all the local courses and pros who are doing a fantastic job at preparing these young peo- ple for a lifetime of golf and also the possibility of earn- ing educational scholarships.” South Huron girls take H-P golf crown By Craig Bradford TIMES-ADVOCATE STAFF It’s almost picture per- fect for the Exeter Jr. D Hawks early on in the 2002-03 season. The Hawks are unde- feated so far this season with a pair of road wins on the weekend. On Friday night the Hawks started slow but finished fine in a 5-1 win over Mitchell. Eric Gelinas scored twice for Exeter, his second goal on a shorthanded breakaway midway through the third period. Jeremy Geoffrey, Nick Regier and Shayne Andrews also scored for the Hawks with assists by Joe Nesbitt, Daryl Bourne, Jeff Finkbeiner, Bentley Dundas, J.R. Davies, Matt Vlemmix and Regier. Scoring for Mitchell was Jason Lepeloors. The score was 1-1 after the first period and 3-1 after the second. Exeter’s first two goals came on the power play which was two for six for the game. Mitchell’s power play was zero for four. It was a fast-paced game by two quick skating teams. Justin Hayter got the win between the pipes for Exeter with a solid, steady game with Mitchell outshooting Exeter 37-26. Six different players scored for Exeter in their 6-5 win in Parkhill over North Middlesex Sunday. Finkbeiner, Dundas, Andrew Maver, Andrews, Regier and Jon Keys scored for Exeter with assists by Geoffrey (2), Ryan Abrams, Vlemmix, Finkbeiner (2), Nick Anstett, Davies, Jeremy Vanbergen and Bourne. Scoring for North Middlesex were Ron Poore, Chad Davis, Adam Scaldwell, Jordan Ince and Brian Dixon. Exeter’s power play was one for six and Parkhill’s extra man attack was one for four. Hawks goal- tender Ryan Frayne picked up the win and Exeter outshot North Middlesex 49-28. It was a typically wild game between the two clubs as the teams com- bined for eight goals in the second period. The score was 1-0 for Exeter after the first period and 5-4 for Exeter after the second. Hawks head coach Dave Revington likes what he’s seen so far this season but admits there’s a lot of work left to do as expect- ed so early in the season. “I like our goaltending,” Revington said. “It has been solid. Both guys have played well.” Exeter has several play- ers who can generate offence, as evident by the first two high scoring games, but the team’s overall defensive cover- age has to improve. “Our play away from the puck can get better,” Revington said. Mitchell and North Middlesex are two teams that work hard and hus- tle, he said, meaning teams like the Hawks have to play their ‘A’ game at all times. “If you stand around too long they’ll beat you on any given night,” Revington said. The Hawks feature sev- eral returning players this season and a few new faces. The new guys are Darcy McCutheon of Walton, Nesbitt of Seaforth (he played with Wingham Jr. C last sea- son), Abrams of London (a Huron-Perth ‘AAA’ midget last year) and Mike MacLean who is the son of Hawks president See FAST START page 19 Hawks start season with a pair of wins “Our play away from the puck can get better.” — HAWKS COACH DAVE REVINGTON DORCHESTER — The Panther senior boys v- ballers were oh, so close to a tournament champi- onship Saturday. The South Huron District High School senior boys volleyball team lost the championship final match of the Dorchester Invitational tournament to the host team 19-25, 28- 26 and 11-15. “It was an exciting fin- ish,” South Huron coach Scott Halpenny said. South Huron finished 4- 2 in the round-robin by splitting two games with both Dorchester and Medway and sweeping Ingersoll. Standout players includ- ed Mark Laye and Everette Dionne for great setting and hitting and Kieran O’Rourke who was strong at the net as mid- dle. The South Huron junior squad didn’t fare as well and finished last in their tournament at Dorchester. The host team also won the junior side by defeating Medway in the final 25-21 and 25- 13. Ingersoll finished third. Halpenny said the senior Panthers should do well in the interlocking Huron- Perth league this season. “They’re looking good,” he said. “They will be very competitive.” Four starters from last season are back with the Panthers. Halpenny is carrying 14 players so there will be a chance for younger players to step up. Both South Huron teams played their first regular season games yesterday after press at home against Wingham F.E. Madill and St. Marys. The Panthers next travel to Clinton Central Huron Oct. 1 to face the host teams and Clinton St. Anne’s. Yesterday’s games were the only regular season home action for the Panther boys volleyball teams. Panther boys second in Dorchester tournament
