WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1986—PAGE 9A Vikings will play Exeter, in for Huron - Perth championship By TD To no one's surprise, the GDCI Junior Vikings will be playing the South Huron Panthers Saturday in the Huron -Perth Conference football finals. The Vikings qualified for the finals by defeating the Central Huron Redmen of Clinton 14-8, here Thursday, while the Panthers knock- ed off Norwell in the other semi-final, 33-22. The Panthers and the Vikings finished first and second in the regular season, with the Vikings only loss coming in the final game of the season, 21-13 to the Panthers. That victory gave the"Panthers first place and home field for the final. The Viking victory over Clinton was. anything but pretty here Thursday. The Vikes got two first-half touchdowns on short runs by Sean. Wilson and Pheng Troeung,, plus a two-point conversion on a pass from Greg Alcock to Jason Millian, but then slipped into a lethargy that almost cost them the game. Clinton scared a to, uchdpwn jtr „before the end of bile half, when the', Vikings •-"' punted froth their own endzone, the ball hit the goalposts and a Redman fell on it. A two-point conversion made the score 14-8 and that's the way it stayed. In the second half,' the 'Vikngs fumbled the ball away several times and .an ineffective Viking punting game helped keep Clinton in the game. Sean Wilson and Pheng Troeung acounted for the bulk of the Vikings of- fence. Wilson rushed for 139 yards and Troeung gained 103. In total, the Vikings gained 294 yards on 15. first downs. Defensively, the Vikings used some new alignments which worked will in contain- ing the wide stuff. Rob Dempsey and Jason Millianat the corners were effective in stopping the Redmen on sweeps. Rob Mathers and Scot Glew played strong games in the middle. Brian Corriveau in- tercepted two passes and Brian Dempey recovered a fumble. Sean Wilson was in on most of the Viking tackles. The Vikings' loss to Exeter in, the regular season game came as a result of a second -half let -down and Viking coaches Bruce Baker and Bill Garrow are hoping to come up with a solution to this tendency, which has plagued their team this season. It ws Exeters greater depth which resulted in two late fourth-quarter touchdowns in the 21-13 game. The success of the Vikings may well depend on how effectively they use two-way player Sean Wilson. He is pro- bably the best in the league, but going both ways leaves him with little to give late in the game. Game time Saturday in Exeter is 1:30, p.m. Midget girls finish third in basketball The GDCI Midget girls basketball team finished theregular season in third place by winning both of their games last week. They defeated South Huron 64-12 and beat Wingham 44-41. Leslie Meyers had 13 points in the Ex- eter game, Kelli Wade added 12 and Julie Pentland had 10. Wade had .14 against Wingham and Meyers scored 12. The 'Huron -Perth .Championship was played ed here Tuesday. 4tiOO y; s The Clinton defence managed to stop_ this running play by the GDCI Vikings, but their luck didn't hold up and the Vikings went on to win this October 23 semi-final game 14-8.

Elevators fight ro ,3-O ue Goderich Bantam Elevators spotted Bel- mont two goals in the first period before Jeff Boyce replied with an unassisted slap - shot at the 7:35 mark in league play last Saturday. Period two saw no scoring but the home team had several chances. The forward work of Alcock, Cauchi and DeWinter along with the defensive play of Million, Stegenstad and Moss provided an edge in play for Goderich. Early in the third period Belmont took a 3-1 lead but a rash of penalties gave the Elevators the opportunity to score on power play goals by Greg Alcock and Chris O'Neill at 6:04 and 7:52 with assists going to Stegenstad and Alcock. Excellent goaltending by Shawn Currie in the late stages of the game perserved the tie for a tiring Goderich squad. During junior semi-final play 'at GDCI on October 23 the visiting CHSS Redmen had a hard thne stopping the Viking runners throughout the first half, allowing the Vikings to take a lead that Machinist Atoms drop two games they held on to until the end of the game. With their 14-8 victory, the Vikings advanced to the finals where they will play against the Panthers in Exeter on November 1.

Like their first game against Parkhill, Goderich was slow off the mark but they still took a 1-0 lead. However, this lead did • not last for long as the home team went ahead 2-l. Goderich then scored three goals to go ahead to stay as the highly explosive of- fence took a period to get in gear. ,Dave Duncan, Wayne Nivins and Rod Nurse had. two goals each' to ' spark the team.

Top performances for Goderich were received from the two goalies, Jamie Red- mond and Chris Lyndon. The Machinists had a better showing against Clinton at home on October 23, but were defeated 5-3.
