Panthers continue winning tradition in field hockey South Huron goes undefeated in Red and Black tournament EXETER - The South Huron District High School field hockey team has enjoyed a long winning tradi- tion over the last six years and it appears that this season will be no different. The Panthers began their season on Thursday with two convincing victories defeating Mitchell 6-0 and Stratford Central 8-0 before racking up five straight wins during the Optimist Red and Black Tourna- ment hosted by South Huron on Friday. Lori Richardson, Cara Gardner and Shawna Rowe combined for six goals to lead South Huron in the shutout win against Mitchell on Thursday, Rialta!d" son gsiculed the Panthers with three 1,4410114011104 Stratford with teammates Rowe, Gardner, Toni De - Jong, Jaclyn Baynham and JoDee Regier adding one goal each. Coach Jim Workman said the one sided victory allowed the new players a chance to play and gain some valuable experience very early in the season. The Panthers continued to steamroll their way through five more victories during the Red and Black tournament on Friday without allowing any goals against thcm. They were set to play Monsegnier [sic] Doyle in the finals but foul weather forced a cancellation of the game the Panthers seemed destined to win. On Sunday the team travelled to Waterloo win- ning three of their five games. They tied one game but lost in their efforts to advance in a shootout. "On all occasions the girls co-operated well as a team and played aggressively," said Workman add- ing this year's rookies also played well. Newcomers to the team this season are Laura Skinner, JoDee Regier, Kim Keller, Shauna Koehler, Tracy.

This year's team will be without veterans Carisa Willis, Kristy Ahrens, Kim Farquhar and Danielle Miners, however, Workman said he is confident the returning players and the talented new recruits will step in to fill the void and put South Huron back on the road to another Ontario championship. "The team has already proven to themselves that they will be competitive and in the hunt for more hardware," he said. Hawks dump North Middlesex HENSALL - With only two ex- hibition games under their belts, the Exeter Hawks coaching staff say it's still to early to scan thinking about the regular season. but so far they like what they see. "We have a lot of good young tal- ent out there," said assistant coach Jeff Dalrymple adding they have about an even number of rookies and returning veterans skating at training camp. After losing their Exhibition opener to Mitchell the Hawks hand- ed Parkhill a 9-1 Toss during their second exhibition game held in Hensall on Sunday. Jeff Glavin, a returnee from last year's All -Ontario Championship team, and newcomer Chad Gilfillan combined for five points with Gla- vin scoring a pair and Gilfillan notching a goal and two assists. Also scoring for Exeter were Chris McDonald, Geoff Mauer, Chad Dalrymple, Jeff Campbell, Brody Cochlan and Bill Hodge who savored an unassisted goal in the se0o>rd period. Heid coach and general manager Dave Revington said he is con- fident he will have a talented pool of hockey players representing Ex- eter after the final cuts and credits the Exeter Minor Hockey Associa- tion for that. Have a sports tip? Call the Times -Advocate 235-1331 "All of the young kids out there from the minor hockey program could jump into the lineup at any time." said Revington. But with less than two weeks be- fore the regular season starts they will have to start trimming the numbers and Dalrymple suspects they will have it narrowed down to about 30 players after the weekend. The Hawks will hold another try- out tonight (Wednesday) before they head into the third exhibition game against Thamesford on Fri- day. "We'll have a better indication of what our final roster will look like by the end of the week," he said.

(1‘1971114-11121 McFalls scores for Fury in disappointing loss to Delhi DELHI - Despite playing one of their best games of the season, the Exeter Fury dropped a 3-1 decison to Delhi on Sunday night. Exeter controlled the play for most of the game and had many ex- cellent scoring chances but failed to score in what has been a year-long problem for the Fury. Delhi managed to get the first goal of the game but Exeter had the better chances including a wild scramble started by a shot off the crossbar that gave the Fury a couple of shots at an open net, but were not able to finish the play. The Fury tied the game in the second half when Brett Rideout sent an excellent pass that put Jason McFalls in the clear. McFalls found the corner of the net for a 1-1 tie that was short-lived. The home team responded quickly with a goal of its own for a 2-1 lead. A few minutes later the score became 3-1 when a Delhi player was the first to a loose ball near the goal line beat- ing the Exeter defenders. Exeter gained most of their scor- ing opportunities by keeping the ball wide and crossing it- into the middle. There were a couple of scrambles in close that the Fury should have capitalized on, includ- ing a blast from six feet from Mark Lynn that hit the goalie in the chest. Pete McAllister's hard shot just about got through the keeper who managed to cover it by the post. Exeter also hit the post after the ball was headed slowly towards the net but no one was there to pick up the loose ball. The game got chippy in the late stages as the Delhi players started to make rough tackles from behind. The Fury had enough when keeper Craig Winbow was kicked in the leg after he picked the ball up. That set off .a wrestling match between the two teams as players piled in trying to separate others from the pile. This whole display resulted in the ejection of one Delhi player but it was too late in the game for the Fury to take advantage of the extra man. This was the fourth straight year the Fury have lost in Delhi despite playing a good game. Exeter's next game is Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Canner's field.
