• Mustangs clinch second
spot in standings
• By Bryan Marriage
The Clinton Mustangs
clinched second place last
weekend with a victory over
Walkerton 8-3 on Friday night
and a tie with New Hamburg
2-2 on Sunday night.
'The Clinton team and New
Hamburg team are currently
tied in points with 52 each, but
Clinton has a game in hand if
necessary, and would finish
second automatically due to
their record of wins and
losses with New Hamburg.
During the six times •the
teams met this season,
Clinton had three wins one
loss and two ties.
In last Friday nights game
against Walkerton, leading
scorers Robbie Heard and
Randy Millar set the pace for
the Stangs with hat trick
performances. Single goals
were fired by Don Granstien
and Pete Thompson. The
teams were tied at one apiece
after the first period and
again at three goals each
after the second period.
A major penalty to
Walkerton's Tim Moran early
in the third period enabled the
Stangs to fire three power-
play goals early in the period.
The Stangs outshot their
opponents by a margin of 58-
30 throughout the game.
Jurgen Hellman had 27 saves
for the victory.
On Sunday night, the Hahns
came to town to battle the
Mustangs for that all im-
portant second place. The
game was typical of playoff
hockey between the' two
teams except for the
refereeing which to put it
mildly was".'disgustinr,
The Mustangs opened the
scoring in the first period on a
goal by Elmira native Mark
King. The Hahns tied the
game in the last minute of
play in the first period and
went ahead early in the
second period.
