The scoring began in the fust period with a goal by Daniel Nash, assisted by Derek Nesbitt. From there it continued and never let up. By the end of the first, Seaforth had a 4-0 lead. Other goals were scored by Curtis Murray, Derek Nesbitt and Jason Anstett, with assists being credited to Ryan Willis, Kyle Henderson and Derek Nesbitt. By the second period Lambeth had come alive, holding Seaforth to scoring only- once. This time Jason MacDonald set up Derek .Nesbitt for another goal. Derek Nesbitt scored again in the third assisted by Daniel Nash, who then scored himself on a set-up by Derek and Jason Anstett. When the buzzer sounded, Seaforth's score was 7, Lambeth 0. Congratulations to Dan O'Reilly on his shut out! In the second game of the tourna- ment Seaforth met their old rival - Mitchell. Seaforth had not beaten Mitchell this season and were out to prove themselves contenders. Seaforth opened the scoring with two quick goals Less than a minute apart. Derek Nesbitt netted the first on a pass from Daniel Nash, while Curtis Murray was credited with the second with assists from teammates Tim McClure and Ryan Willis. Mitchell fought back and tied 2-2, and had the momentum for another two goals. Seaforth realized a come -back was in order and. with 4:12 left in the final period it payed off. Jason Anstett one -times the puck pass the Mitchell goaltender on a play created by Derek Nesbitt and Daniel Nash. The fans were anxious for another goal and although both teams had numerous opportunities it looked as though the score was to remain 4-3 in Mitchell's favour. Kyle Henderson had other plans, as he made an end to end attempt and put the puck between the pipes for a tie game. Volleyball starts at SDHS — THE HURON expos TOR, January 19, 1994-7 McLaughlin Chev-Olds Ltd. 13 Main St. Seator'th. 527-1140 -Service -Selection .Savings -Satisfaction -Leasing -Complete BODY SHOP Service by Sarah Johnston The new year brings a new season to the sports program at ,t S.D.H.S. - girls volleyball. Off to a flying start are eleven girls and two dedicated coaches. If's a young team, consisting of only two returned seniors, Monica Ryan and Cora Allen. Robyn Carnochan, also a senior, was an active member of the team but suffered from a broken leg, which put her out for the season. Karen Skea, Sarah Johnston and Carrie McLlwain are the players in grade twelve, and from grade eleven there are Lindsey Salverda, Sandra Dale, Marcy McCall, Tracey Janmaat, Laura McKerchcr and Lisa McKay. Led by their coaches, Mr. Ron Ritchie and Mr. Warren Hill, the girls practised from 7:15 until 8:40 for three mornings a week. Attendance and commitment is encouraging. The weekend saw the team travelling to Walkerton for their second tournament of the season. The girls managed to win one out of two from Saugeen (Port Elgin) and Strathroy. With two important games left, the girls faced F.E. Madill (Wingham). In order to advance to the semi-final round, both -games had to be won. The team shone with there best performances yet this season, and handily beat the Madill team twice. The semi-final game saw Seaforth matched against their county rivals, South Huron. The Exeter team came out on top after two games, the second of which was extremely close. The girls should be proud of their efforts. A vast improvement is showing, and this team is definitely one to watch for in the future.

Derek Akey, Ryan Willis and Jason MacDonald) Exeter scored again to tie. The boys headed into the third knowing their work was cut out for them. Their extra effort and good team playing was rewarded late in the third. The trio of 'Sooner, Bird and Nessi" (Daniel Nash, Jason Anstett and Derek Nesbitt) did their magic. Before the Exeter goaltender knew what was happening, the puck went from Dan to Derek to Jason and between the posts. 1:02 remained and Seaforth hung on to the lead. "The tension mounted, the puck was dropped and both teams were out to prove themselves winners."

The decision was up to the judges. When the referees consulted the officials the Seaforth bench erupted into cheers. They had outshot their opponents 4- 2, thus advancing the Championship game. Novices shut out Clinton team Weather played havoc with the Novice I schedule as the team played only two of four scheduled games. However, in the games they did play the Novices tied one and won the other in convincing fashion. In a home game against a deter - m ined Goderich squad Josh Holland scored on a solo effort in the first period to spot the locals in early 1- 0 lead. After Goderich tied the score, Seaforth outplayed the visi- tors through a scoreless second. In the third Holland scored his second on a powerplay with Nick Elligsen and Steve Carnochan assisting on the goal. Goderich tied the game late in the third. Playing with the man advantage Seaforth missed several glorious opportunities but Goderich hung on for the 2-2 tie. Last Friday's game against Clinton was a different story as Seaforth dominated against the younger, less experienced visitors. Barry Young and Mike DelVecchio set up hard -shooting Mark Flanagan for the first and winning goal as Seaforth went on to skunk Clinton 9-0. Seaforth scored six times in the second period as six different players dented the twine. Greg McGrath started the onslaught with a coast-to-coast rush. Steve Camochan, set up by linemates Jason Denys and Flanagan upped the lead to 3-0. Joey Nesbitt used his speed to pull away alone land score an unassisted goal. Barry Young made it 5-0 on passes from Camochan and Elligsen. Kyle Devereaux converted a Nesbitt pass for his goal and hardworking Brent O'Reilly finished off a Steve Camochan pass for the 7-0 lead at the end of the second period. In the third Barry Young got his second of the game with help from Mark Flanagan, who had a three- point game and Mike DelVecchio rounded out the scoring for the eventual 9-0 route. A balanced attack, strong defence and steady goaltending all played a part in the decisive victory for the Seaforth Novice I's. Cents have goal drought A goal a game won't win you many as the Seaforth Centenaires continue to prove in the Ontario Hockey Association's Junior Devel- opment League. They wasted a strong performance by goaltender Jamie Redmond Sunday night at Seaforth and fell 3- 1 to the Alvinston Flyers who, to add insult to injury, only brought 16 players with them, three of whom were midgets. Last Wednesday night at Lucan the Centenaires played a better game but could still only manage to light the lamp once so dropped a 4-1 decision to the Irish, despite an equally -impressive start by their other goaltender, all- star Dana Duskocy. "It's a good thing we've got the goaltending otherwise we'd be in big-time trouble and might never win a game," said Centenaires general manager Gregor Campbell after Sunday's fourth -straight loss which he described as "disappoint- ing". After a promising eight -game undefeated run late last year Seaforth hasn't picked up a point in 1994 and has only managed to total of five goals in those four losses, all without their leading scorer Paul McLlwain in the lineup, out because of a six game suspension that has now ended. The immediate problem facing the Centenaires is the defending cham-- pion and league -leading Mitchell Hawks, who are in town Friday night at 8:30 for "Minor Sports Night," and just itching to revenge after the 3-0 shutout Seaforth pres- ented them with on their last visit December 28, which now seems so long ago and was the Centenaires' last win. Seaforth also hosts the North Middlesex Stars Sunday night at 8 p.m. In between will be the All-Star Game at Lucan Saturday night, which features among others Karsten Carroll, Duskocy and •McLlwain from the Centenaires. McLlwain, with 19 goals and 19 assists in 22 games, hasn't played in more than five weeks, since December 12, because of the sus- pension made even longer due to the postponements 'because of bad weather conditions in between. "We lack offensive depth," said Campbell. "The other teams are now saying to beat Seaforth all you have to do is neutralize 'Mac' then pound on our small forwards to wear them down". The Centenaires' general manager adds he would like to use some affiliate forwards off the Silver Stick champion local midgets more to inject spade up front, but the midget and junior schedules have conflicted too much this sea,son up until now, and these snipers are mostly unavailable for the next little while because of high school exams.

Referee Blake Moggyout a total of eight minor penal in the game, five to Seaforth. IRISH 4 - SEAFORTH 1 It was the Centenaires best game of their losing streak. They had some glorious scoring opportunities but couldn't finish. Lucan put its last goal into an empty net. They led 1-0 after their first period and 2-0 after the second. Steve Geiger's 1 lth goal of the season, assisted by Ben Sen, at 12:11 of the third period broke Steve Watson's shut- out bid. Newcomer Adam Rogers showed promise of becoming an asset for the Centenaires with some linebacker like hits, particularly one on Irish captain Andy Ross, who kept his head up for the remainder of the evening. Referee Jeff Smith gave the Irish six minor penalties, including an qwesr, two 10- minute mio fighting majors and two game misconduct. Seaforth's totals were identical, subtracting one minor, the aggres- sor. The Centenaires' game at Belmont Saturday night was post- poned because of blowing snow and closed highways. 1t has yet to be rescheduled.
