Lucan Irish fo riod action last week at Lucan win 5-3. By Craig Bradford T -A Reporter - EXETER-- The Exeter Jr: D Hawks hockey club find them- selves at the top of the Morenz Di- vision by a point despite splitting a two -game homestand on the week- end. The Hawks lost an overtime thriller to Yeck Conference leaders Port Stanley at home on Saturday 4-3. Ryan Chamncy, Scan McCann and •Ryan Freiter scored Exeter's goals. Jeff' Glavin helped out on Chamncy's and McCann's goals while Greg Goodwin and Jeff Campbell also notched assists. • Special teams scaled Exeter's fate — the last two Lakers goals, including the overtime marker, wcre scored on the powerplay while their second goal came while shorthanded. • But Hawks coach/G.M. Dave Revington said ref Rob Moore shouldn't have handed those pow- erplay opportunities to Port Stan- ley, especially in OT against the 17-2 Lakcrs. Ryan Freiter was called for elbowing at 7:53 of the third while both teams had a. man off; Port Stanley scored 42 seconds later. In overtime, Chris MacDonald was called for roughing at 1:38 and Jeff Glavin was called for the same infraction a'. 1:07 along with Port's Jonathon Sotelo; the Lakers scored • with 25 seconds left. "It was the poorest exhibition of officiating I've seen- this year," Revington said. "You should let the players decide the game. We should have had the opportunity to win. (Moore) took that away from us.' Not only did Moore call ques- tionable penalties late in the game while ignoring much of the same antics earlier on in Revington's opinion, the linesmen missed obvi- ous icing calls. Officiating was not at the centre of the outcome during Exeter's 4-3 win over Lambeth at homc on Fri- day. Glavin and Jason Dunlap led the Hawk attack with a goal and two assists each while McCann potted the winning goal and an as- sist. Chris MacDonald also had a goal and an assist and Geoff Mayer helped out on onc.

CLINTON — The South Huron District High School senior boys volleyball team had a shot at the Huron -Perth championship at Clin- ton St. Anne's yesterday after the T -A went to press. The seniors qualified for the H -P final tournament by making it to the Huron final versus Wingham Madill last week at St. Anne's. The Pant lost three straight games to Madill 15-5, 15-9 and 15-6. it to the final by knocking out Central Huron in their match 3-2 with game scores of 15-8, 15-13, 1-15, 8-15 -13. Panther senior coach Scott Halpenny said Derek Etherington's outstanding setting and Darryl Romphf s several kills made the dif- ference in the semi-final. Halpenny said Romphf had a "spectacWar" fifth semi-final game with "important kills and blocks." But the two-hour "exciting" semi- final in which South Huron battled back from a 10-5 deficit took its toll on the team. Halpenny said the Pan- thers were "very tired" during the fi- nal versus the tough Madill troupe. He added all eight of his players con- tributed to the second place finish. While the senior season wasn't over yet when the T -A caught up to Hal - penny last week, he was already look- ing forward to '98 because only two of his players, starter Scott Reid and Dave Farquhar, were graduating while Madill has eight grads mov- ing on next season. The Panther junior boys were knocked out of the semi-finals (and the season) by Madill last week in three straight games, 9-15, 7-15 and 13-15. Coach Phil Conley said the whole team put up a great ef- fort and added captain Jeff Finkbeiner provided "good leadership." Standouts on the court included Finkbeiner and Lance Pfaff who fin- ished some great spikes for the Panther offence. Conley said the season highlight was reaching the finals in the Stratford St. Mike's tournament and that '97 was a "good building year for South Huron volleyball. "Many talented Gr. 10 students are moving up to senior and some great talent is moving up to junior next year," Conley said. The midget girls basketball team finished second at the Huron fi- nal tournament in Goderich last week. They won their semi-final versus-Scaforth but fell to Goderich 37-31 in the final. Both the junior and senior girls were knocked out of the playoffs earlier in the month. There's a short break in high school sports till boys basketball starts its season on Dec. 3 when South Huron travels to Central Hu- ron and girls volleyball starts its season on Dec. 9. The Panther girls play their first matches versus host Central Huron and MadiVI on Dec. 18: "Many talented Gr., 10 students are moving up to senior and some great talent is moving up to junior next year."
