South Huron District High School senior boys soc- cer player Dan Snell, right, tries to boot a bouncing ball by a Wingham F.E. Madill defender during last week's game in Exeter.The Panthers lost 2-1. Jr. boys tie; seniors lose in soccer action EXETER — If you're going to learn from loss- es, it's better to get them out of the way early. That's the attitude South Huron District High School senior boys soccer coach George McEwan has after his team lost to visiting Wingham F.E. Madill 2-1 on Nabisco Field last week. The Panthers fell behind 2-0 early due to poor marking and unmotivated play. McEwan said his play- ers had poor ball control and showed sloppy pass- ing which limited ,their chances to score. Dan Snell took a nice cross from Ryan Beattie to score SHDHS's lone goal late in the first half. The second half saw the Panthers carry the play but they couldn't get any good shooting chances. Chad Monteith had some shots on net but he was forced to shoot from the outside and the Madill keeper was able to tip it over the bar. The seniors are 1-1 on the season and next host S.t. Anne's today (Wednesday) at Nabisco Field starting at 3 p.m. . The Panther juniors bat- tled Madill to a 0-0 draw. Coach Bill Shore said it was a good, evenly matched game. Tom Phouttarath earned the shutout for the Panthers and made sever- al jumping and diving saves. Vince Inthisorn had the best scoring opportunity for the Panthers when he found the ball at his feet while standing on the goal line. He was unable to convert before he. was swarmed by the Wingham defence. The junior record is a win and a tie. The Panther girls soccer teams started their sea- son yesterday after press at Madill. Their first home league game is April 27 versus Clinton Central Huron. The Panther senior girls host their annual invita- tional tournament on Saturday at the high school and Nabisco fields. The junior boys host a tournament on May 1 and the senior boys host a tourney May 7-8.

GET ROLLIN' WITH THE Irish knock off Wellesley for Ontario Jr D title FASTEST GROWING SPORT Continued from page 21 they made a mistake, either Boyce bailed them out or a back -tracking defender saved the day. "We just had a feeli rvj we were going to win," Bourne said about Friday's game. Bukala said, his team saved their best for last. "Friday was our best hockey game all year," he said. Bourne said winning the championship was "a relief. "It's quit fulfilling," he said. Bukala said it was an incredible night for the young players from the puck drop at 7:30 p.m. to the ride home and the fire truck ride to when the party broke up after 6 a.m. "Those 12 hours will last a lifetime," he said. Bukala had special thanks for the fans who accounted for half or even more of the people on hand for Friday's game in Wellesley. "The fans are great, especially on the road," he said. "They made a big difference." The title caps a banner year for the Irish who went 44-17 this season during the regular season. and playoffs. Lucan start- ed the season slowly at 5- 8 but went 39-9 on their way to the OHA champi- onship. The Irish hope to have a solid nucleus of returning players next season but will lose some important cogs in the `Green Machine'. Overage players Mark Phillips and captain Mike Jaremchenko have played their last junior hockey games. Kevin Dunbar, Jason Amey, Andy Marshall, Mike Davis and 'Costello will be overage next season. Two of those players can return. Mulligan will probably be picked up by -a Jr. B team as should Graansma, Boyce and Wagner. - Bourne said the battle for London high school supremacy may victimize the Irish next season since four players from this year's squad attend Oakridge High School (Mulligan, Wagner, Steer and Judson). On the other hand, the title should make it easier for the Irish to draw play- ers, Bourne said. Bukala said 10 to 12 players from this year's squad should return next season is ,optimistic the team will be competitive in '99/2000. The Irish last won the Ontario championship 12 years ago but went to the finals, four straight years following the win.
