Sports 'Cinderella' team loses series continued from page eight The 'Cinderella' Centenaires were badly outshot, 214-105, and only scored four goals the entire series, which was what beat them as much as anything at the end. Their well - disciplined defensive style was good enough to upset third-place Exeter then second -place Lucan to get them to their first division fugal since 1985-86, but it wasn't good enough to dethrone the Hawks who also have an excellent defensive dub. Centenaires general manager Gregor Campbell says he now regrets scheduling back -to -back-to- back games because injuries also took their tool when two front-line players, Scott Wright with a badly bruised shoulder and Don Rivers with muscle spasms in his back, were forced out of the Centenaires' lineup within five minutes of each other early in the second period with Mitchell up a game and the score tied 0-0 Thursday night. so Seaforth, never known for its "firewagon" offence anyway, had a short bench for what ended up being a 5-1 loss in that game two at Seaforth Thursday, and had only 14 skaters available for a 4-0 defeat in game three at Mitchell Friday. Campbell said his mistake forced his coaches into even more of a kitty -bar -the -door style and helped put his team on the ropes. The Centenaires also dodged a big bullet early in Saturday night's marathon that ended it when defenceman Trevor Smith just missed getting a major artery and his jugular sliced by a skate. Local ambulance attendant "Cub" Betties said it was the best example he had every seen of why all hockey players should always wear neck protectors. Smith refused to go to the hospital and finished the game, Cents' veterans Paul McElwain and Karsten Carroll played their last game in Junior Development league. also picking up a big black eye in the process. The numbing but courageous end of this season also marked the last game in Centenaire colours for veterans Paul McLlwain and Karsten Carroll, who are now overage and ineligible for junior hockey. "Mac" and Ted Sills, who was always flying and arguably Seaforth's most effective forward in the playoffs, shared the team lead in playoff scoring both with 14 points. Paul had nine goals and five assists and Ted notched four goals and 10 assists. Up-and-comer Steve McInally was next with five goals and three assists, followed by Andy Scott with six goals and Karsten with one goal and five assists. This 20th anniversary season lasted seven and half months on the ice for the Centenaires but isn't quite over yet off it. Seaforth hosts the OHA Junior Development League's Annual Awards Banquet on Saturday, April 23, with former Centenaire and now NHL official Scou Driscoll at the head table and giving the keynote speech. 11 • NOTICE • Seaforth Minor Houseleague SOCCER REGISTRATION =WILL BE HELD -AT -THE ARENA WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY MARCH 30 & 31 7:00 to 9:00 PM Both Nights PLEASE BRING YOUR HEALTH CARD NUMBER Coaches and Helpers Will be Needed!

Just how long was Saturday night's record -length game between the Seaforth Centenaires and Mitchell? Just ask Heather McMillan. The Seaforth arena employee had left the arena shortly before the quadruple -overtime match ended at 1:37 a.m. on Sunday morning. She returned at about 8:00 a.m. and received a call from a Centenaires spectator. The gentleman on the phone had apparently left before the end of the series -ending game and, recognizing Heather's voice, presumed she had been at the arena all night. "Is that game still on?" he asked her. The game may not have lasted all night but it did set a record for longest game in the entire OHL this season. Seaforth native Dave McLlwain assisted on the win- ning goal in an amazing home - ice win for the Ottawa Senators over the mighty Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night. Wed. Mar. 23 Dave assisted on the Senators' fifth goal in a 5-4 win in Ottawa against the NHL's highest scor- ing team, the Detroit Red Wings. Thurs. Mar. 24 Dave didn't manage any points in a 5-1 road game loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Mon. Mar. 28 'Mac' had one assist in a 3-2 road game loss against the Montreal Canadiens. One of Dave's goals in the game was disallowed after review. Totals Dave now has 15 goals and 22 assists in 58 games with the Ottawa Senators for a total of 37 points. by int...all/6w Mark Coulthard 11SPR1NGT AWWCARE" Early Spring lawns can appear straw-coloured and dead. If the grass seems very dense and matted, you can help by giving the lawn a good, vigorous raking. Remove the piles of material and add them up to your compost pile. This raking opens up the turn to allow light, water and fer- tilizer penetration. It stimulates the grass plant and makes the lawn look much better. If your lawn is very sparse and you have had serious problems with crabgrass in precious years, you may wish to apply a crabgrass control. This material must be applied very early in the spring because it stops the crabgrass roots as they begin to grown. After a crabgrass control has been applied, the soil surface should not be disturbed in any way. Raking or digging will destroy the effectiveness of the crabgrass control material.
