Wednesday afternoon, guard Brian McAllister scored with 28 seconds left in the game to give the host Panthers a slim 42-40 win over the F.E. Madhill Mustangs. Two days earlier in Clinton, the junior Panthers wcr •beaten 40-38 by the host Central Huron Redmen. But on Wednesday, it was the Panthers who were on the right side of a close one as they saw their Huron Conference record im- prove to 1-2. Against the Mustangs, South Hu- ron led 20-19 at the half but the visitors took the lead early in the third quarter before Panthers' Ke- vin Bierling drove across the base line. South Huron began making a lot of mental mistakes including dou- ble dribble, an over -and -back vio- lation and crossing the line when inbounding the ball. With eight seconds left in the third quarter, Jeremy Horne gave the Panthers a five -point lead when he grabbed a rebound and put it in but Greig David hit a three -pointer at the buzzer cueing the margin to two points. The lead exchanged hands in the fourth quart^r and with 51 seconds left in the game, Aaron Bayer came up with a defensive rebound and the Panthers' worked it in to McAl- lister. He drove into the middle and rolled the ball off his fingertips which hit the front of the rim and went in. McAllister led the winners with 21 points while Home, who had a great day on the boards, netted 13. Missing two: Without starters Ryan Stuart and Greg Agnew in the lineup, the senior Panthers were beaten 61-47 by visiting Madhill. South Huron started this one shooting the lights out as they hit three three -pointers in a row. But the Mustangs were •able to convert on the fas'tbreak and led by a point after eight minutes. Panthers' forward Keith Craw- ford had a great first quarter as he blocked several shots and was dominating on the boards. In the second quarter, Mark Lynn hit Crawford with a nice pass and the passing seemed to click throughout as Simon Disney con- nected to Lynn and then it was Crawford to Lynn. Although Panthers' Mau Lierman hit a shot with one second left in the half, Madhill led 31-27. South Huron managed to narrow the gap to three points but without Agnew and Stuart they seemed to run out of steam. Coach Terry O'Rourke was slapped with a pair of technical fouls after he argued with the officials and Madhill soon hada 12 point lead. Wayne Robinson led South Hu- ron scorers with 12 points on four three -pointers while Lynn added 11. Last Monday in Clinton, Agnew had 18 points and Crawford and Robinson netted 12 each in a 64-58 win over the Redmen. The Panthers will resume Huron Conference action on Jan. 6 when they host Seaforth. Face Alvinston Wednesday e\ • Times -Advocate, December 23, 1992 Pagti 36 Wilson returns to help Irish By Fred Groves T -A staff LUCAN - The Lucan Irish got a little added punch Wednesday night as veteran Jason Wilson re- turned to the lineup. Wilson, now in his third season with the Irish, scored one goal and helped set up three others in a one- sided 13-1 win over the visiting Belmont Pests. Saturday he had a a pair of goals in a 9-1 win over the hosting Northmiddlesex Stars and Sunday added an assist in a 7-7 tie with the Belmont Pests in OHA Junior De- velopment League west division action. Since the hockey season began, Wilson was playing with the Junior '13' Strathroy Blades but decided to return to the Irish. "1 wasn't having any fun. Things weren't working out so 1 decided to come back to Lucan for the rest of the year and have a good time," said Wilson. The Blades have been struggling and are in the basement of the Western Junior 'B' Hockey Hawks over Stars Continued from page 33 ter 40 minutes. "We had a big talk before the game and came out flying. We came to play in the first period," said Todd. Veteran forward Shayne Robin- son paced the Hawks' offence with four goals and three assists while Sean McCann had four goals and a pair of assists. "The biggest point I made (be- fore the game) was we had too many guys just standing around," said Prau. There were few standing still on Friday as 13 different players helped in the scoring. Dan Ryan and John O'Hara each had a pair of tallies with singles from Paul Manders, Nick Szabo and Ray Cousineau. Szabo set up three goals while defenseman Ja- mie Cornish also had a good game with four assists. After 21 games of a 40 game schedule, the Hawks are in a five - way battle for third place. The west division standings are very, very close. "The league is so close right now, we can't take anyone for granted," said Pratt. Three of the Hawks nine losses this year have been by two goals or less. "There are so many games we shouldn't have lost," said Todd McCann. Stars goalie Gerry Ellison was a busy man Friday night as he faced 44 shots while at the other end of the rink, Hawks' Clint McCann who went two periods, and Kirk Durand who finished off, saw 27 shots come their way. Scoring for the Stars who arc 0 , fj struggling to climb out of the base- ment of the nine -team division were Paul Woodburn, ex -Hawk Nick Wieckowski, Chris Gingerich and Kevin Leyten. This game was a fairly calm one a, referee Paul Petrie handed out only one minor penalty per team in the first period. Hawks' Mark Lynn, although he never threw a punch, was ejected for fighting with Mike Bax in the third period. About eight minutes later, Ryan was ejected when he squared off with Todd McPherson. Not dressed for the Hawks on Friday were defenseman Jason McBride and Larry Lewis who were replaced by Greg Dalrymple and,Brian Gardner.

The house was all tidy and the cupboards were bare Just hoping the "GRAMMIES", would soon be there. As the blizzard got worse, we watched at the $ate, Then settled ourselves in for a little longer watt. gTHEN, at the front door there arose such a clatter 8° That we rushed right out to see what was the matter. ►r We found the driver from GRAMMIES all covered in snow no He said, "Relax have no fear, your pizzas are here" League's east division. "1 was geuing enough ice time. 1 got along with all the guys on the team." Last year, Jeremy Jemec returned to the Irish after a brief sunt with the Blades. He is now with the Lis- towel Cyclones. Steve Matthews a forward with the Irish a year ago is still with the Blades. Lucan coach Ken Needham said he doesn't even want to think about trying to get Matthews and added getting Wilson was not that easy. "We had to struggle. They didn't want to release him. It's (Junior 'B') a lot different than guys think it is," said Needham. Wednesday's opening period was not very exciting as both teams looked flat. The Irish did manage a 3-1 lead after 20 minutes on a goal by Wilson and a couple off the stick of Greg DePrest. Lucan came out flying for the middle period, scoring four goals in six minutes. Ed VanKerkoerle got his 12th of the season while Derek Greenlee, Jason Glasser and Paul O'Shea made it 7-1. O'Shea got his second of the peri- od while Jason Reidhead notched his first of three on the night to make it 9-1 after 40 minutes. In the third, Reidhead, DePrest and Andy Ross made it 12-1 just 5:53 into the third frame before Re- idhead notched his first hat trick of the year on an unassisted breaka- way. DePrest had a big seven -point night while Glasser's goal was his first since he connected back on Nov. 8 against Alvinston. With the return of Wilson, the Irish have a good situation in which they have three extra players per game if everyone is healthy and shows up. Irish 9, Stars 1 Saturday night in Parkhill, the Irish had a fairly easy time. DePrest led the way with six as- sists while VanKerkoerle and Wil- son each had a pair of goals. Also scoring were Jeff Stanton, Sean Kaczmarek, Steve Moore, Re- idhead and Chris Chater. Steve Vandenberk teamed with Chris Gingerich and Greg Muir for the lone Stars' goal. Irish 7, Pests 7 For once, the Irish had rouble keeping the puck out of the net, in fact this is the most goals Lucan has allowed all year. Moore had a pair for the visiting Irish with singles from Jeff Stanton, Jim Stanton, Kaczmarek and Derek Greenlee. DePrest had a goal and three assists. Lucan led 6-3 heading into the third period. Lucky charms:...DePrest looks as though he is headed for a 100 - point season as the veteran centre - man leads the Irish in scoring with 65 points...VanKerkoerle is the leading defenseman with 14 goals...Lucan, whose record is now 20-2-1, will face the Alvinston Fly- ers tonight in an 8:15 p.m. game.... ¶Jtolidag Collection 'During the holiday season the blue box collection in your area will be changed to allow our employees to enjoy the festive activities with their family members. 3or those residents that have collection from viton- day to 'Thursday there will be no change. - 'There will be no blue box collection on 3riday 'December 25 and 3riday 3anuary 1.
