Exeter drew first blood after 12:42 into the first when Marty de- Bruyn made it 1-0 with Rob Morrisey and Paul Knight assisting. The Chiefs made it 2-0 at 9:10 of the second stanza when Ben Kaaks shot a loose puck into the top right corner of the net. Greg Hendrick and Morrisey drew the assists. The Chiefs regained a two goal lead in the third when John Rutten scored from Hendrick and Dan Finkbeiner. Again Langton made it interesting by scoring with 5:20 left in the game, but Exeter hung on for the victory. Chiefs manager John Rasenherg didn't dispute a bench minor handed to his team at the end of the second period when the Exeter players didn't return directly to their bench. Rasenberg said the rules are clear for going to the bench at the buzzer. Assistant coach Mike.Soldan said deBruyn continues to be a force for the Chiefs with some solid defensive play plus the fact he can put the puck in the next when needed. Soldan added Morrisey de- livered some crushing checks on his Langton victims. The Chiefs travel to Elora for their next game on Jan. 3. i' avtigittab Ck*ite r A special time when ' hearts grow warmer, greetings are exchanged -- and good will abounds. kV Thank you for your support Steve, Deb, Matt E•X.E4T•E•R ,.a vso Page 22 Times -Advocate, December 24, 1997 This Week in Sports... • Lakers sailing in second season - page 23 • Lucan skateboard park debate reopened - page 24 1 Hawks back in first after besting the Irish Nice try, but...Above: Lucan Irish forward Kevin Dunbar makes a nice effort going towards the net but Exeter Hawks goaltender Matt Fawcett denies him during Friday's game at South Huron Rec Centre.

By Craig Bradford T -A Reporter EXETER — The Exeter Jr. D Hawks hockey club obviously don't like second place because they were there for only a few days last week. The Hawks shored up their first place ranking by shutting out then first place Lucan 4-0 at home Fri- day and -besting host Thamesford 5-_ 3 on Saturday. eff Campbell, Jeff Glavin, Geoff Mauer and Sean McCann scored for Exeter with assists from Jason Dunlap, Bill Hodge (2), McCann, Ryan Chamncy, Chris MacDonald and Glavin.. Matt Fawcett earned the shutout between thc pipes for Exeter. The teams played a dull scoreless first period with Exeter scoring two in the second and two in the third, the last goal while shorthanded. • "After three losses it was im- portant to turn it around before the Christmas break," Hawks coach/ general manager Dave Revington said. "We played with a little more emotion and desire and I think that made a difference." Revington added Fawcett made the big stops when called upon • -td the entire team put in a good effort. Irish co -coach Jason Bukala said his team "just didn't play very well" versus Exeter. "if it wasn't for goalie Mike Boyce it could've been a lot worse," Bukala said. He lauded Fawcett for a stellar effort and said it must have been a thrill for him to beat his former team and coach — Fawcett played for the Irish under Bukala last sea- son and for London Oakridge Sec- ondary School two years ago when Bukala was coaching there. The Hawks scored three goals in the third on Saturday to pull out a . vein on the road over. Thamesford 5-3. Campbell led the Exeter attack with two goals with singles from Dan Taylor, Jeff Finkheiner and an empty nester by Sean McCann. Assists went to Glavin, goalie Andy Glavin, Finkbeiner, Ryan Freiter,,Ben McCann and Dave Far- quhar. Revington said the team was still riding high from the shutout win over Lucan. "I think we played well in spurts," he said. "Andy was pretty strong in net Saturday when he needed to be." Revington added his rookie players stepped their play up a notch in the two weekend contests. The Irish played well but still came out on the short end of thc stick with a 4-3 overtime loss to host Belmont on Sunday. "Belmont Arena is a'really tough arena to play in," Bukala said. "It's really small." The Irish tied the game up with Sr. boys lose tough one in OT EXETER — The South Huron District High School senior boys basketball team lost an overtime heartbreaker to Wingham Madill at home last week 55-54. • South Huron coach Terry O'Rourke said his team had many good chances but had a "fairly cold day shooting." Jeremy Van Esbroeck led Panther shooters with 19 points with Ryan Beattie adding 15 point and Darryl Romphf shooting for 12 points. The junior boys didn't fare as well versus Madill losing 66-36. Ben Forrest and Nick Bailey led South Huron shooters with seven points each. In girls volleyball play last week, the junior girls defeated host Central Huron 15-2, 5-15 and 17-16 but fell to Madill 6-15, 15-10 and 7-15. Coach Bob Robilliard said good serving and fine team play was the difference in the Central Huron match with. The high- light of the match came when Ann Marie Parsons made an excellent dig off the net when the Panthers were down 14-11 to spark them to the victory. Krista Tuininga served for 12 straight points in South Huron's lone win over Madill, Robilliard said, adding the two matches were a good start to the season. High school sports takes a break over the Christmas holidays with boys basketball action resuming Jari. 7 when the Panthers travel to Seaforth. Girls volleyball returns in a big way for South Huron with two league mini -tournaments the first week back: the Panthers host Goderich and Seaforth on Jan. 6 and Central Huron and St. Anne's on Jan. 8. 1 itis 1.c\ ot Exeter Junior D Hawks VS Pt.
