Bow out in semi-final SH football season The 1982 season for the South Huron District High School teams ended on two fronts Thursday as both were eliminated in Huron -Perth Conference semi-final playoffs. 'the senior Panthers were edged 2-1 by the Goderich Vikings in a titanic defensive struggle in Goderich while the juniors were on the short end of a 22-15 score in Listowel. Both coaches praised their clubs for good performances. Senior coach Ron Bogart said after the game, "Wait until next year and Dave Cox, the junior coach said, "overall we played well and deserved to win." In the junior game Listowel overcame an eight point first half South Huron lead with 22 points in the second half thanks mostly to the efforts of their star backfielder Tom Newbigging. ,• Newbigging scored three touchdowns and carried the ball 80 percent of the time. About the Listowel ace ball • carrier, coach Cox said, "We went into the game knowing we had to stop him and we - were able to keep him bottled up in the first half. But in the second half, we just couldn't tackle him and he always seemed to get six to eight yards on every carry with tacklers hanging all over him." South Huron started the scoring in the second quarter when John Hempel kicked a 35 yard single point. Dave Rook followed with a 60 yard run on a reverse for a touchdown and Steve Gould booted the extra point. Listowel tied the score ear- ly in the third quarter on Newbigging's first touchdown and a two point convert which South Huron players argued the Listowel oall carrier was not over the line. Bill Fisher chalked up the second Panther touchdown late in the third period on a short run and his club was ahead 14-8. Early in the final period, Tom Newbigging stoned his second major and another two point conversion was good putting Listowel in front 16-14. An apparent field goal by Steve Gould was ruled only a single point by the referee and the Panthers were behind by one point. Newbigging scored his third touchdown to wrap the game up for Listowel. Bill Fisher had an outstan- ding day for South Huron and played his best game of the season. Seniors on defensive In the senior game in Goderich, neither club could manage much of an offence and the Vikings won the game 2-1 with two single points in the last three minutes of play. Early in the first quarter, Chris Van Gerwen of the Pan- thers kicked the ball into the end zone, but, the Goderich defender managed to get out to the two yard line and avoid a point. The Vikings failed to gain any ground and the Panthers moved back to the 25 where a field goal attempt was blocked. For the rest of the first half it was just back and forth for both teams and a scoreless tie. The Panthers took the wind in the third quarter and scored the first point of the game on a 25 yard single by Chris Van Gerwen.' In the fourth quarter Brian Blackburn thwarted a Goderich touchdown by cat- ching a Viking runner at the • ends 25 yard line after had had gained 50 yards. On the third down, the Pan- thers line broke through to block a Viking field goal attempt. With three minutes left, Goderich tied the score with a 35 yard kick for a single point. On the next series the Pan- thers were forced to kick again and the Vikings .were able to move to the South Huron 45.. With the minute flag up, the Vikings kicked a single. Coach Bogart said, "We had hoped to kick the ball back out, but, it was fumbled out of the end zone." In the final series, Goderich intercepted a long South Huron pass and the game and season was over. • Jamie Chaffe and Dave Hayter were the landing ground gainers for the Pan- thers while Scott Turnbull led all defenders with 18 key tackles. Coach Bogart concluded, "I have great praise for the defence. They played well and only allowed one pass completion and stopped Goderich on four occasions on a -third and one situation." Molting Hawks win two games The Exeter Molting Hawks came up with two exciting victories this week in the Western Ontario oldtimers hockey league. • Saturday night, the Molting Hawks edged Dorchester 2-1 and Monday night at the South Huron Rec Centre, they came from behind with five unanswered goals late in the second period and in the final session to edge Labatt's of London 9-8.

Frank Boyle opened the scoring for Exeter in the win over Dorchester on an unassisted effort in the first period and 1ltike Cushman closed out the scoring on a pass from Jim Pfaff. Glenn Stire in the Hawks net was outstanding to hold the opposition to one goal. Keith Ahrens with four goals in the Monday win over Labatt's fired the winning marker on a three-way com- bination with Walt Tiedeman and Jim MacDonald. Two of the scores by Ahrens came on solo dashes and the other was set up by Jim Russell and Bill Pincombe. Mike Cushman was a two goal producer for the Hawks.

The team narrowly beat second place Sarnia Northern.. This win qualifies Exeter to run 6 girls in the OFSSA meet in Toron- to this weekend. Catherine Patterson, despite a foot injury again led the senior girls with her sixth place finish. Catherine, who competed in WOSSA field hockey the same day, ran the five and a half kilometre race in 21 minutes and 25 seconds. In one of her best races of the season Colleen Regier who is, supposed to be a junior, finished ninth. - Mary Lou Rundle was plagued with a cold but was still able to finish in fifteenth place. Despite a bad start Sheila Regier, a midget, was the fourth South Huron run- ner to count in nineteenth position. Exeter ran eight other senior girls who all finished well in the 96 runner field. Coach Joe Fulop said he ex- pected his girls to win and was very pleased with, them. This is the first, South Huron team in OFSSA since three years ago when a midget girls team, with some of this year's runners, won WOSSA to qualify for the all -Ontario meet in Kingston. In a race of over 150 run- ners, South Huron midget boys placed sixth as a team. Their placing may have been higher if Brian Topp had run. Ed Thuss ran the 5500 metre race in nineteen minutes to give him ninth place: As only the top three in- dividual runners as well as top two teams go to OFSSA. I'huss did not qualify, but has a good future for the next four years of his high school career. Ted Lawson was the second runner in with twenty-fourth place. The last two counting positions were held by Ray- mond Lewis and Donald Wareing in 46 and 54, respec- tively. F'our other South Huron midgets helped in the team effort. The senior boys cross- country team placed seventh in a race that saw their Huron -Perth rivals, Stratford Central, win the WOSSA crown. The team was only 20 points from fourth place. Despite a foot injury at Huron -Perth, Mike Van Raay finished twenty-seventh followed closely by John VanEsbroeck in twenty-ninth. To add to South Huron's points Jim Regier and Dan Reid were respectively thirty- fifth and forty-second. Mike Tadgell also ran well as did the five other senior boys. Irish winning streak b The winning streak of the Lucan Irish in OHA Junior "D" league play came to an abrupt halt Tuesday and now has turned into a losing spell. The Irish undefeated in their first four games were edged 4-3 in Mount Budges, lost 9-1 to the Belmont Bombers on Lucan ice. Fri- day and were dropped by the Tavistock Braves by 12-7 'The Ir►hh will be at home fo the Mitchell Hawks tonight, Wednesday. All ladies and senior citizens will be admit- ted free of charge. The club will be sponsoring a Casino Night, Friday. In Mount Brydges, the Irish found themselves three goals down with less than five minutes to go in the third period. They rallied for two quick goals, but, could not get the equalizer. • Steve Glenn started the Lucan scoring at 6:30 of the second period on a three-way combination with captain Paul Wraith and John Medd. Mount Brydges tied the score later in the middle frame and counted three straight goals early in the third period. Dave Paton converted a pass from Hugh Dietrich for the first Irish goal in the third session and Jeff Skinner finished off the scoring on passes from Geoff Edwards and Paul Wraith. In Lucan, Wednesday night, Daryl Perfect scored a pair of goals to lead the Belmont win while Brad Hannah and Dan Chavin added singles. Art Gregory notched the on- ly Lucan goal in the last 'minute of the first period. This was the last cross• country race for some of these boys who will be graduatingthis year. The cross-country season is over for the boys but all of the girls will run at OFSSA this Saturday. Only six runners may finish but all of the team can race. The meet is in north Toronto with a course over ski hills,` hush and fields. Fulop feels the team should place in the top 10 at the all - Ontario meet. He thinks this year's team is better than the roken Steve Glenn and Mark Thompson assisted. • In Friday's 12-7 loss to Tavistock, Jeff Skinner led the Irish scoring attack with a three goal performance. Mark Thomson was next on the Lucan scoring parade with a two.goal effort while Steve Thomson and Jamie Shipley' each scored in single fashion: Taking care of half of • the Tavistock goals with a six goal night was Kevin Albrecht.
