Although they had a little help from the 'teacher' line, the South Huron District High School Alumni Panthers skated to a 5-2 win over the current team last Tuesday afternoon. In front of a very large crowd at the South Huron Recreation Centre, the exhibition hockey game raised over $800 and organizers are hoping it will become an annual event. Proceeds from the game will be split between the Sunshine Foundation and South Huron's Challenged Learning Needs Students program. "If it's able to raise money for the school it will keep going. I was im- pressed with the turnout," said organizer Jerry Lamport. He, along with Panthers' coach Dave Cox got the teams together for the event. There was some very familiar faces in the lineup for the Alumni, many who were members of the school's first hockey team back in 1987. Among those who suited up on Tuesday were Tim Moore, Jeff Dalrym- ple, Jeff Kints, Todd Laporte, Daryl McCann, Rob Taylor, Lamport, Chris Thompson, Jim Dickins, Rob Waring and Scott Bell. "There was 120 players that started the first year's tryout," recalled Lam- porte. "Mr. O'Connell skated us hard. Guys went off the ice sick. We were in shape by the end of the year." Back in the late 1980's, when football was a big sport at the local high school, many, including Lamport played both in the fall. Among the-noteables who were very impressive on Tuesday were War- ing who donned the goalie pad, .once again and made several big saves. Volleyball Girls push opponents to final, but beaten EXETER - Despite playing some very good volleyball Saturday after- noon, both the South Huron District High School Panthers junior and senior girls' teams failed to win the finals of their own tournament. The juniors went up against Sea - forth where they lost the third game of the best two -of -three, 15-12. South Huron's senior girls also • pushed Strathroy to the third game, losing 15-6. Against Seaforth, the junior Pan- thers slipped behind 6-0 but thanks to some good work by Lisa Camp- bell who was diving for a lot of hits, the hosts came back but were beaten 15-8. Seaforth served the ball hard and accurate throughout the day but in the second game fell 15-11 to the Panthers.In that game Cara Gardner served first for South Huron giving them a 3-0 Lead. The game was tied 11-11 but Gardner served four straight to win the game. In the finale, South Huron were down 7-6 and although they played well, lost 15-12. The Panthers advanced to the final after their day's efforts of splitting four games with both Central Huron and Seaforth. South Huron's seniors opened the day with 16-14 and 15-8 wins over Strathroy and later on Saturday beat the same team 15-8 after a 15-11 loss. Against Central Huron, the Pan- thers won 15-3, 15-6, 15-7 and lost 15-5. In the finals against Strathroy, South Huron won the first game 15 - "I've never seen him play like that," said Lamport obviously pleased with Waring who was named one of the game's stars. Big defensemen Bell rushed the net in the third period and Dickins, a former Exeter Junior 'D' Hawk showed he still has a lot of quickness. Bill Shore, borrowed from the teaching ranks, helped a little with the Alumni offence as he had two goals, both set up by another teacher, George McEwen. Also scoring were Lamporte, Laport and Bell. Ben Armstrong had one goal and set up another for the current Panthers while Blair Moir got the other. "They're quick and they're well coached," said Lamport of the 1993-94 Panthers team. This game was a goalie's battle as Waring played well between the pipes at one end and at the other Jason Glavin and Mike Schwindt were hot for the Panthers. The Panthers return to action today at 3 p.m. when they host Woodstock Collegiate Institute in an exhibition game. Huron -Perth league action con- tinues Feb. 4 when they travel to Wingham to face F.E. Madill Mustangs. The puck got past Alumni goalie Rob Waring on this play dur- ing last Tuesday's game but he made many big saves during the exhibition game. 6 but lost the second one, a very emotional 16-14 decision. In the second game, Panthers Teresa Petch made an outstanding play when it looked as though the ball was going past her, she reached out and got it The game wasn't all that serious last Tuesday as Jerry Lam- porte, left; and Darryl McCann take time out to share a mo- ment during the Alumni versus Panthers exhibition hockey game.
