HS football starts South Huron's junior foot- ball steam rolled its way to a 34-0 victory over Stratford Northwestern's Huskies last Thursday in their first regular season game. Condi- tions for the game were not the best and the teams ex- perienced both rain and hail. Despite the wet field, Coach Dave Cox said the team played fairly well. He was surprised with the team's defence commenting that they looked quite good. The finess of the team's offence is what made the game however. Cox says the team does not work for a power -based of- fence, but rather one of speed with quick hits and good blocking. This was demonstrated by the comple- tion of four of the seven passes made in the game. Bill Fisher played strongly, scoring two touchdowns and rushing close to 250 yards. Scott Miller added two as well and passed to Ted Lawson who addd a fifth.Brian Topp kicked two converts and Sean Whiteford completed a pass from Scott Miller for a two point conversion. The senior Panthers left the field with a disappointing 9-6 loss against Stratford Nor- thwestern. Coach Bogart blames the loss on the teams Field hockey tournament The annual red and black field hockey tournament was held Saturday with the host Panthers capturing first place. South Huron began the day with a scoreless tie against St. Marys. In a strong showing, they defeated Parkhill 5-0 with Pauline Brand scoring three goals backed up with one each from Julie Russell Ind Ken- dra Arthur. Next, Medway was shutout in a 2-0 Panther victory. Both goals were scored by Pauline Brand. The final match resulted in another South Huron wir, Strathroy being defeated 2-0 with goals scored by Ronalyn Bell and Pauline Brand. This insured the Pan- thers.first place in the tourna- ment with Medway coming in as runners up. lack of experience noting that the team had a shabby start and seemed to improve a bit towards the end of the game. He says blocking is poor at the moment preventing the team from concentrating on a passing offence. Thursday, they had one pass intercepted by Stratford resulting in a Stratford touchdown. However, Nor- thwestern had troubles of its own fumbling a punt return. Ahmed Osmand recovered the ball and ran for a touchdown. In the second half, the game seemed to rock back and forth across the field. The South Huron defence was in good shape and prevented the Huskies from scoring until the last seconds of the game when Stratford scored a 20 yard field goal. Scott Turnbull almost got his hands on the ball but just skimmed it and was not able to prevent it from making it through the uprights. Both teams play on Thurs- day, the juniors against Wingha'm and the seniors against Clinton.
