Junior hoopers caught in a H -P political shuffle The Panthers played and lost to Northwestern but will still head to WOSSA By Fred Groves T -A staff EXETER - Confused - you will be if you follow high school basketball in the counties of Huron and Perth. Last Tuesday, South Huron coach George McE- wen found out his junior Panthers wouldn't be play- ing Stratford St. Mike's, instead it was the Stratford Northwestern Huskies who hit the wooden floor in Exeter the following day. McEwen also found out the game wasn't the Hu- ron -Perth Conference final because apparently there is no such thing. Apparently the conference basketball constitution needs to be re -written and last week it almost had a major adjustment to it on the spot. "It was going to be ripped up and thrown away," said McEwen after the Panthers were beaten 72-46 by the visiting Huskies. "It was going to be im- proved, however the president decided it was a wrong move to abandon the constitution." Next year, it is expected the first place team in Huron, in this case the Panthers, and the top team in Perth would go automatically to the WOSSA tour- nament. The purpose of the game, and a similar matchup which pitted Goderich against St. Mikes, was to de- termine three teams which would go to WOSSA lat- er this week in Tillsonburg. McEwen agrees re -writing the constitution and thus eliminating the format which took place last week, is a good idea. "It makes winning your league and your playoffs more meaningful," said McEwen whose team recently beat Goderich to win the Huron title. Despite the loss to the Huskies, South Huron will head to the WOSSA tournament, however, the method of seeding is still uncertain. It looks as though the Panthers will be the eighth ranked team. "As far as I know they're (WOSSA) not going to allow us to send our (Huron -Perth) seeds. They're going to seed the tournament themselves. They are going to de- cide where everyone belongs." Fall behind early: Last Wednesday against the Huskies, South Huron fell behind 17-6 after eight min- utes but they woke up a bit early in the second quarter when Trevor Boersma was fouled while scoring and went to the line to hit the free throw. Boersma led the Panthers in scoring wit :10 points. The Panthers got into early foul trouble as Mark Bell had two against him in the first quarter and Luke Sims picked up his third early in the second quarter. Neil Revington came off the bench for Sims and add- ed some spark as he drove to the hoop for two and later ripped the mesh for a three -pointer. Revington who along with Jeff Mason had eight points each added an- other long -ranger late in the game. NG,thwestern dominated on the hoards throughout the game and it didn't help the Panthers as Jeremy Va- nesbroeck was unable to play due to a sprained ankle. "Our guys arc not aggressive on the boards," said McEwen. "They don't earn their spot. Certainly we know what we have to fix before WOSSA. Whether or not we can, that's up to the guys." South Huron burst out of the dressing room at the half and cut an 18 -point deficit down to 10, less than two minutes into the second half. Jeff Dietrich had 20 points for the Huskies while Wayne Racher netted 14. Times -Advocate, March 1, 1995 Page 15 Hockey Panthers in final They now take on the Redmen EXETER - Back-to-back wins against Goderich last week has lift- ed the South Huron District High School Panthers into the Huron - Perth high school hockey cham- pionship. Last Tuesday at the South Huron Recreation Centre, the host Pan- thers won 5-2 to sweep the four - point series in two straight.

The day before in Goderich, it was a closer 4-3 win South Huron win as Ben Armstrong, Gingerich, Geoff Mayer and Rob Kobayashi scored. "The game on Monday, Jason Glavin played goal and he made three or four super saves. 1 think he won the game for us," said Panthers coach Dave Cox. With the win, South Huron were sent into the H -P finals against Clinton's Central Iluron Redmen. During the two regular season meetings of these two teams, the Redmen won 4-3 back on De- cember 2 and 6-4 on January 31.

Belmont may have gotten to the South Huron Recreation Centre ear- ly but it was the Hawks who were well prepared as Robinson got his first of the playoffs with a low shot past Ian Burt. Sean McCann made it 2-0 when he was set up by lin- emates Kennedy and Jeff Glavin and it was 3-0 when Cousineau had lots of time to walk in. A shorthanded goal by McCann just 6:59 into the game and the Hawks had a somewhat surprising huge 4-0 lead. Burt was yanked in favour of John Longe but it didn't matter who Trevor Slao1bott, second from right, Is congratulated by teammates Chris Kennedy, Jamie Cor- nish and Sean McCann after scoring his first goal in a Hawk Jersey. A the Hawks scored on as they were up 9-2 after two periods. "He (Burt) goes down a lot and he butterflys. Sometimes those guys look great and sometimes they look poor when the shot gets up on them," said Revington. JAI the Exeter end of the rink, Darien Kints, who got the win on Saturday, started but after two pe- riods gave way to Brian Knight. McCann had the hat trick for the winners while veteran defensman Cornish had a great offensive game with a goal and four assists. He was later ejected for fighting. Also scoring were Robinson and Cousineau with two each with sin- gles from Livermore and Farquhar who had a goal and three set ups each. In his first game as a Hawk, defenseman Trevor Shadbolt had the other tally. "He moves the puck welt and he moves into the play. He can be an offensive defenseman," said Rev- ington of Shadbolt.
