son, are looking for their lath
straight H -P title and their thud

Three runners advance

trict High School will send three
runners to the WOSSA cross-
country championships in Wing -
ham on Thursday.

Christian Stuckless- and Dave Ro-
billiard in the midget boys' division
as well as Kevin Beierling in the
junior boys'
At the recent Huron -Perth meet,
also at \Vingham's F.E. N'1aclill,
Stuckless was third and was in a
battle for the lead throughout- the
five -kilometre race. This is the hest
finish ever for a South Huron mid-
get runner.
Robilliard's 10th place elfort
came despite being sick. Teammate
Joey Forrester was 23rd overall.
"There's going to be about 50
more runners there (at WOSSA).
They're high caliber; 1 read their
times in the paper," said Robilliard.
For Beierling it was his best fin-
ish of the year as he was sixth and
will head to WOSSA. He said go-
ing hack to the sante course for an-
other race, will be a big plus over
the other runners.

"Wiwi: a crazy bounce," said Bo-
gart of the puck which went off the
boards and was gobbled up by
Dance. "Our defence was caught
flat-footed and their guy was going
the right way.."
To win, you havestokeep the
puck out of the net, and that's what
the Irish's biggest problem to date.
> cunindcr Rob I lotson has only
been in one -and -a -half of the seven
frames leaving the young and in-
experienced Glavin -to carry thc
load.
"Wc arc struggling but we nccd
help from the goalie to kick out that
big save. Wc arc playing catchup
all the time," said Bogart.
Lucan had a few positive mo-
ments Wednesday other than the ef-
forts put out by Matthews and
Green Ice.
Hudson's first goal was a beauty
as he got right beside Belmont
goalie lan Burt and jammed it in
high at a very tough angle.
Cricl's goal cants from being at
the right place at thc right time.
Brad Henderson let go with a shot
which reached Burt through a sea
of legs. The puck spurted over to
C ricl who got his stick on it, and
put it just under the crossbar.
On the night, Burt who is small
but quick, ntadc 39 saves while' at
the other end of the rink Glavin
turned away 32.
Frustration set in for both teams
near the fading seconds of the game
as Matthews wanted to get at Mike
Uyucrhndc and did get his helmet
off but in defence tlyucrlinde hung
on to his stick and it looked as
though he poked Matthews up high
with it.

South Huron will be the site of
the Western Ontario Secondary
SchooI Association's six -team final
tournament on Friday and Sat-
urday. Hopefully there will be as
big a crowd out as there was a year
ago for OFSAA held in Exeter.

Huron -Perth at WOSSA. while no
doubt North Middlesex and Med-
way will come from Middlesex
County. It is not yet known who the
two teams will be from Oxford -
Elgin.
"h will be a fight, both Parkhill
(North Middlesex) and Medway
would love to beat us." said Work-
man who has guided thc Panthers
to seven straight WOSSA titles and
12 in the past 13 years.
Thursday, the Rams spent most
of the game watching the Panthers
backs after they scored.
"Our strength is offence, we're
scoring a lot of goals," said Work-
man.
The Panthers compiled a perfect
12-0 record in H -P action this fall
and outscored their opponents 54-0.
They have a good chance of win-
ning WOSSA and then preparing
for the provincial finals in Kingston
November 3-5.
In the past, the winncr of OFSAA
the previous year, plus the host
team, got a bye to add to the 14 as-
sociations to make up the 16 -team
event.
This year however, while La-
Salle, the Panthers toughest com-
petition to date, get a direct entry
because thcy arc hosting it, South
Huron, the defending champs, have
to earn it.
"We thought originally it was two
(who get direct entry) because we
won, but the regions of Durham -
York have split," said Workman.
"It's something decided at OFSAA,
it's not unique to field hockey."
Senior hoppers beaten: It took
six games to do it, but the South
Huron senior girls basketball team
have finally lost a 1-luron Confer-
ence game.
Last Wednesday they travelled to
Clinton whcrc they lost a one -point
39-38 decision to the Central Hu-
ron Redmen. However, the junior
Panthers won 29-27 and South Hu-
ron's midget continue to overwhelm
their opponents as they won 54-21.
Basketball action doesn't con-
tinue until October 31 when thc
Panthers host Godcrich Vikings.
