HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes Advocate, 1984-11-14, Page 14Page 2A Times -Advocate, November 14, 1984 Sports Spotlight By Ross Haugh Sunday's upcoming Grey Cup game in Edmonton will be the continuation of a rivalry between a pair of quarterbacks. It's only little more than a year ago that the Win- nipeg Blue Bombers traded quarterback Dieter Brock to the Hamilton Tiger Cats for another signal caller Tom Clements. Now the two will be doing battle against each other against their old team-mates. That is providing rib in- juries suffered by Clements in the western final will allow him to suit up. Only about six weeks ago Harold Ballard called the Tiger Cats a bunch of bums now they will be making him some more money with their participation in the Canadian fall classic. The 1984 Grey Cup will mark the first time since 1960 that two second place teams in the regular schedule have made it to the final. With their two playoff wins, the Hamilton Tiger Cats are still below .500 for the en- tire season. It points out inadequacies in the playoff framework when a team that wins Less than it loses during the regular schedule has a chance for the grand championship. The noise expected to hurt the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at BC Place Sunday didn't really happen as the play of the Bombers kept the Vancouver fans pret- ty quiet. Krazy George was not able to elicit the noise that was hoped to distract the Winnipeg team. Few may know that the wild cheerleader of the British Columbia Lions is really a resident of Oakland, California. He is George Henderson, a mathematics teacher in California and has been making the long trip up the west coast for each home game of the Lions. He was originally hired in 1976 by British Columbia coach Cal Murphy who is now at the helm of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. Murphy first ran into Krazy George Henderson when he was doing similar antics at San Jose State. Before we get away from next week's Grey Cup contest, here is our prediction. Hamilton in another upset by a 24-20 score over Winnipeg. We are putting our hopes on the passing of Dieter Brock and the kick- ing of Bernie Ruoff who has proved the foot is still a very important part of Canadian football. Coaches fired Friday was a bad day for coaches of football teams going by the name of the Roughriders. On the same day, George Brancato of Ottawa and Rueben Berry of Saskatchewan were given their walk- ing papers. Fuzzy retires When the Montreal Concordes take to the CFL fields next summer a very familiar face will be missing. Glenn Weir, a 13 year veteran with Montreal teams has decided to hang up his cleats after a very successful career.. Weir, a Dorchester native and familiar to the regulars at the Exeter Lions club Sportsmen's Dinner for many years anchored the Montreal defensive line in their banner years along with Gordon Judges and Junior Ah You. He made the Eastern all star team five times, was all -Canadian twice and won a new car as the most valuable player in the 1973 Grey Cup won by the Alouet- tes, the forerunners of the Concordes. Local interest The number of area television sets tuned in to Hockey Night in Canada this coming Saturday should be higher than usual. No, the Toronto Maple Leafs haveof been re- juvenated. Harold Ballard has not been Able to do the same thing with his hockey playing hirelings as he has with the gridiron Tiger Cats. The Leafs opposition come Saturday night will be provided by the Winnipeg Jets and that's why local in- terest should be much higher. Paul Pooley is on the Win- nipeg roster. So look for number 23 when the Leafs and Jets tangle Saturday night. Molting Hawks win it all Congratulations are due to the Exeter Molting Hawks who won their division championship in an oldtimers tournament on the weekend in Sarnia. The Molting Hawks won five straight games in petroleum city and won the "G" grand championship and goalie Ken Hyde was named the most valuable player in the final round. Anyone wishing to see these hockey stars of yesteryears who still have plenty left can drop up to the South Huron Rec Centre most Monday nights to see them in action at 9:30 p.m. More good hockey The brand of hockey offered to local fans this winter at South Huron Rec Centre is turning out to be excellent and quite varied in the age of the players participating. In addition to the regular minor games Wednesday nights, the junior "D" Exeter Hawks Friday nights and the Molting Hawks on Monday night, the Sunday night slot is now being filled by the Exeter Mohawks the newest entry in the Western Ontario Athletic Associa- tion intermediate league. The Mohawks under the direction of manager Doc Campbell and coaches Jack Chipchase and Bob Rowe have a strong lineup consisting of former junior stars not only from Exeter, but, from Lucan, Hensall and other area communities. The goal tenders are former local junior Pete Par- sons, Steve Sararas, longtime with the Hensall Sher - woods and Louis Arts who played his junior hockey in Seaforth. The defence is anchored by veterans Jim Guenther, Barry Baynham, Randy Kraul and Marty Wraith. Guenther was a tower of strength for a number of junior teams, Baynham and Kraul both have senior A ex - 4 HIGH FIVES — Members of the Huron -Perth champion SHDHS junior Panthers race off the field to the greetings of their mates coming off of the bench at the end of their winning performance, Saturday. Going off the field are John Relouw, Trevor Cottrell, Scott Fields and Mike Burdon, while racing out to greet them ore Scott Heywood and Larry McCarter. Hawks defeat Irish lose to league leaders The Exeter Hawks split a pair of home games this week, to stay in the middle of the pack in the northern divi- sion of the Western Junior "D" loop. The locals now have four wins and three losses and are well behind the first place Tavistock Braves who have played three more games and have 16 points. Seaforth Centenaires hold second with 12 points, follow- ed by the third place Lucan Irish with 10. The Hawks have eight and their namesakes in Mitchell have just three. All teams have played more games than Exeter. The locals meet Seaforth for the first time at the rec centre, Friday. Saturday night, the locals travel to Mt. Brydges to take on the defending OHA cham- pion Bulldogs. Stopped by Braves Playing a rare Sunday afternoon home game, the Hawks gave up three straight powerplay goals in the first 21 minutes of the game and couldn't recover as the visiting Tavistock Braves recorded a 5-2 triumph. That avenged an earlier loss to the Hawks. Despite the loss, the Hawks turned in one of their better performances of the young season and the difference in the game may have been the bounce off the goal posts. The Braves hit one post and had it bounce into the net behind Peter Dearing, while the Hawks rang two off the post and had both carom harmlessly off into the corner of the rink. The Hawks were playing two men short when the Braves opened the scoring at the 19:16 mark of the first period and they were still short-handed when the visitors popped another with just three seconds left in the stanza. A third penalty by the Hawks ended the period and the Braves took advantage of that after 58 seconds of play in the middle period to take the three -goal lead that they managed to maintain throughout most of the GET MEDALS — The Huron -Perth conference football convener was on hand to pass out medals to the winn- ing SHDHS team. Looking at the reword for his effort is quarterback Jon O'Connor. Locals hear about St. Marys senior games Clarke Ready, District Co- ordinator for the Counties of Huron, Perth and Middlesex for the Ontario seniors regional games, was on hand Wednesday, November 7 to speak at the regular monthly meeting of the Seniors Ad- visory Board in Exeter. Ready provided the group with information on the On- tario Seniors Regional Games to be hosted by St. Marys in late August or early September of 1985. The purpose of the games is to improve and provide the older adult in Ontario with an opportunity to increase their social interaction with others, increase their physical well- being and through participa- tion in recreational activities and sports. The games are presently in the organizational stages and the organizers hope that com- petitions in these activities will be held at the local level and winners will advance to participate in district games which will in turn advance those winners to provincial games. Euchre, cribbage, bridge, five -pin bowling, darts, shuf- flefoard, golf. carpet bowling. snooker, lawn bowling, crokinole, fiddling, horseshoes, old time dancing, performing arts, swimming, tennis, photography, scrabble and slo-pitth are among the events considered for the '8.5 games. Ready attended the seniors advisory board meeting with the hopes of generating some enthusiams toward the games in the Exeter area and local shufflefoard enthusiasts. Marshall Dearing and Lorne Marshall showed their sup- port of the games by agreeing to accompany recrealtion director Lynne Farquhar. to a meeting November 23 in St. Marys of the Regional Plan- ning Committee for the 1985 St. Marys games. The Planning Committee will be working on the development of the St. Marys games as well as the develop- ment of games at the local levels. With Mr Marshall and Mr. Dearing involved. it is hoped that a local delegation of competitors from Exeter will be keen to participate in the upcoming games in St Marys. The Advisory Group sound ed very enthusiatic about the games and members felt it would tie in nicely with the p t • mosphere created by the "Lake Huron Zone Sport sfest" being hosted in Exeter on August 16. 17 and 18 of 1985 with Seniors activities offered in shuffleboard, euchre darts. horseshoes and lawn bowling. perience with the Lucan-Ilderton Jets and the Stratford Perths and Wraith has lots of experience in Lucan and St. Marys. Brian Mercer, Ed Willis, Peter Tuckey, Brian Baker and Rick Lindenfield are recent graduates of the Hawks, Tom Ryan, Mark Cronyn and Dave Jackson were with the Mohawks in the South Huron league and Dave Kinsman, Ken Varley and Jamie and Terry Caldwell come from the Hensall Sherwoods. balance. Bill Glover scored Exeter's first tally on a play with Scott Bogart and Dave Skea in the middle frame and Steve Pro- ut added the second later in the stanza on a play with Brian Horner. Dearing recorded 29 saves, while Mike Oliver had 32 for the Braves. Exeter lost three players during the game as Jeff Rowe and Trevor Johnston were banished along with two Braves for fighting majors. Defenceman Jeff Pfaff left with a shoulder injury in the second. Exeter took 13 of the 22 penalties called. One of the Braves ejected for the fight involving Johnston was Alex Balazs, a former Exeter resident. Humble Irish Backed by outstanding in- dividual performances by goal tender Pete Dearing and centre Bill Glover, the Hawks posted their first win over the Lucan Irish in three tries as they stopped the visitors 7-3, Friday. Dearing held the locals in the game when they came out flat in the first period and were dominated by the Lucan crew. He stopped all but one of the 17 shots aimed in his direction in a period in which the • Irish could have gone ahead by three or four. Glover finally got the score even at the 5:58 mark of the second as he started his heroics which resulted in four goals and three assists as he figured in all the scoring. He shot the Hawks into a 2-1 lead with a short-handed ef- fort at the 9:56 mark of the se- cond and they were never headed. Mark Kirk made an auspicious return to the lineup with a goal in the mid- dle frame, while Tony Jones and Scott Brintnell notched the other single tallies. Kirk and Jones also added assists as did Jeff Pfaff, Steve Batten and Jeff Rowe. Wayne Urbshott, Jeff Hodgins and Rob Stanfield replied for the Irish with Mark Bannen picking up two assists. Single assists went to Steve Glenn, Brent Martin and Hodgins. Dearing turned aside a total of 36 shots, while Brent Fowles had 32 saves at the other end of the rink. The Hawks won the penal- ty parade as they sat out 11 of the 19 penalties called. 'Clip and save Bantams beat St. Marys Three minor Teams victorious The Exeter bantams won two Shamrock league games on the road this week. Wednesday in St. Marys, the Exeter club scored a 6-4 vic- tory and Sunday in Lucan they were on the top side of a 7-2 decision. Three Exeter goals to one by the opposition in the se- condperiod were responsible for Wednesday's win in St. Marys. The first period was all even with Jeff Kints scoring for Exeter on a three-way passing effort with Steve Anderson and captain Larry Lewis while John Hepburn replied for St. Marys. Jon O'Connor tallied two of the three Exeter middle frame scores. One came on an unassisted effort and the other on a,pass from Shawn Moore. The third goal was fired by Scott Bell on passes from Jon O'Connor and Steve Lingard. Scott Hossack was the St. Marys marksman. In the third period, Jon O'Connor and Jeff Dalrymple completed the Exeter scor- ing. Both came on solo dashes. Replying for St. Marys were Rob Shrubsole and Mike Craig. Four unanswered third period goals proved to be the difference in Sunday's 7-2 vic- tory over Lucan. The first period was even with each team scoring one goal. Jon O'Connor hit for Ex- eter on an unassisted effort and Mike Conlin hit for Lucan on passes from Tim Carter and Jason Pfaff. In the second period, Jon O'Connor scored twice to bring his game total to three. Again the goals were unassisted. The lone Lucan goal getter was captain Mike Annis. O'Connor scored two more unassisted goals in the final period of play upping his overall total to five. Steve Anderson converted a pass from Shawn Moore and the latter registered with passing help from Doug Clark. Pee wees win, tie The Exeter pee wees followed in the footsteps of the bantams as they downed Lucan by an 8-1 score and held St. Marys to a 3-3 title. In St. Marys two late third period goals enabled the Ex- eter club to pick up a single point for their night's work. St. Marys took a 1-0 first period lead on a goal by Rob McLellan and in the second Todd McCann tied the score on a pass from Jim Ahrens. Two early third period goals by Dan Scheidel and Derek Shackleton put St. Marys in front and set the stage for the tying Exeter goals. Justin Charrette con- verted a pass from Tim van Dam and Todd McCann was successful on passes from Rob McLelland and David O'Connor. Against Lucan the Exeter scoring was well spread around. Tim van Dam was the only double goal per- Lindenfield. Ryan Stuart hit on passes from Brad Thompson and Joel Smith in the second period after Heywood had notched his first goal in the opening session. The score at the end of two periods of play was 3-2 for Lucan as Greg Boshart, Chad Gwalchmai and Paul O'Shea hit the Exeter net with assists going to Doug Hotson, Mike Munro, Gary Haskett, Jeremy Jemec and Danny Gibson. In the third period, the Broncos counted five unanswered goals by five dif- ferent players to salt away the decision.
