Times-Advocate, 1982-03-10, Page 8that both teams received super goal -tending during the series. ,Rich (Fletcher) really came on this year," the coach noted and said the team was hurting through the loss of Preston Dearing and Pete Tuckey for the playoffs. Dearing missed all the games due to a back in- jury, while Tuckey was ill and missed the last, two games against Mitchell. The Hawks could face a major reb biding for next season as there art, five graduating due to age and several others who may be unable to play due to moving away to further their educa- tion or hockey careers. Among those ineligible to return for another season - are Milan' Mercer, Bryan )Baker:s>ll�lra:�,Atthl1I, •Dave Couse and Preston Dearing. Dave Bogart,who started the season but was ruled ineligi- ble to play after performing for a university team, is also overage for next season. Mercer, Dearing, Atthill and Bogart helped Exeter to OMHA titles as pee wees and bantams. Several other members of the team were OMHA midget champs with Exeter in 1979-80. Several players plan to enter college next season and their return is questionable and a couple of Junior "B" teams have shbwn an interest in Paul Johnston and John Kernick, two midget are players with this year's Hawks. The future of the coach is also in doubt, although Bogart this week discounted rumors that he has definitely decided to retire from his position. • "I'm not going to make a decision until the banquet." he told the T -A.

Ed Willis gave Exeter a lead in the first on a play with. Tony Underhill, but the hometown Hawks knotted the count near the midway mark and then took a 3-1 lead with two goals in the first four minutes of the se- cond. the first goal coming on a power play. Bryan Baker reduced the margin to one goal when he blinked the light on a power play after taking a pass from Dave Atthill and the teams headed into the third with Mitchell holding a 3-2 lead. They traded goals with Willis counting his second tally of the game on a play with Underhill and. John Kernick and then Kerry • Bedard knotted things at 4-4 when he scored on a pass from Brian Mercer at the 12:54 mark. Exeter dominated play to start the extra session, but then a Mitchell clearing pass got caught up in an Exeter defender's equipment and when it dropped to the ice Dean Westman pushed it between the defender's feet to get a breakaway on Fletcher and he made no mistake. Mitchell added an in- surance marker into an emp- ty net with Fletcher sitting on the bench in favor of an extra attacker. �••..�.••Nome.ofAlle, 11I•u:— Nantljrm'an. \ 5 R annum Step Ladder. • Cassaba Mats Horne of the Ha \dyman \\ \ \\ Jerry MacLean 8 Son HOMO Hardware Available at Both Stores 2.31. the Irish took over and scored five straight goals before the Braves counted again late in the third period.

T -A photo Beaten by Mitchell Hawks season ends suddenly When the Junior "D" loop staged its annual all-star game back in January, Ex- eter Hawks stalwart Brian Mercer was quoted as suggesting that the winner between Exeter and Tavistock could go all the way to the Ontario finals. At the time, the teams were locked in a tight fight for first place in the northern division and in the all-star game, Mercer and Tavistock's Ted Gladding dominated the game to add credence to his comment. lluwever, both teams are now on the sidelines watching the third place Lucan Irish and fourth place Mitchell Hawks battle for the northern division playoff title. The Hawks were nipped 6- 4 in overtime in Mitchell, Wednesday, tobring their season to an upsetting halt. Mitchell won the round by a 4-2 margin. However, that was not the loss that coach Ron Bogart cited as the main reason for his team's stunning upset. He said the loss in the first game in Exeter Was probably the key to the series, although the locals regained home ice advan- tage by taking the second game on Mitchell ice. "We were too high, perhaps," he said of the loss in the first game, but said he was happy with the squad' performance over the season and suggested they played well enough to win against Mitchell. The Hawks hit a scoring drought in the playoffs and held a territorial edge In play in most games. "We out -played than.: in the final game, but just couldn't score on our chances," he said, adding Buckeyes advance to final playoff The Zurich Buckeyes qualified for the South Huron hockey league finals by eliminating the Centralia Marauders in four straight games. After winning the final two games a week 'earlier the defending champion Buckeyes downed the Marauders 5-2 Friday night and wrapped up the series Sunday afternoon by a score of 7-2.

In Sunday's final game. the Buckeyes scored four times in the first period and added two more unanswered goals in the second session to pull into a comfortable 6-0 lead. Pat Bedard opened the scoring for the Buckeyes at 1 34 . on a three-way effort with Steve Bedour and. Gerald Weido. At the midway mark of the first period. Mike Clarke converted a pass from Steve Bedour and then set up Rick Schilbe for the third Zurich score. The same combination produced the fourth Zurich goal as Clark hit on a pass from Schilbe. In the second 20 minutes of play. Greg Kirk scored on a pass from Mike Clarke and Rick Schilbe connected a pass from Gerald Weido. The third period was scoreless until the 14.28 mark when Blair Hearn broke the Marauders goose egg as he hit on a three-way play with Cec Nickles and Bill Hodge. The final Zurich goal was notched by Marvin Merner on a play started by Ron Rader and Kris Bedard. Rick Lather fired the final Centralia marker on an un- assisted effort with only 11 seconds left to go. Referees Bill Smith and George Tryon called 22 penalties with the Marauders taking 14. A goal at a time The Buckeyes won Friday's game by, scoring one more goal than their op- position in each period. Jeff O'Brien scored both first period Zurich goals with Marvin Merner getting two assists while Ron Rader and John Graham helped on one goal apiece. The - first Centralia goal carne from the stick of Mark Cmnvn on a pass from Cec Nickles.
