Overtime loss eliminates local Atoms from tourney The Wingham Optimist Atoms were eliminated from the Seaforth tournament this past weekend in a tough overtime loss to Goderich. The Atoms won their opening game of the tournament, 10-0 over Strathroy, in a contest played at 8 a.m. on Saturday. Wingham was short a couple of players, but up against a team they had little trouble handling, as the score would indicate. Josh —Johnston and Jeremy Creeden led the Wingham attack. Johnston had two goals and three assists for five points while 'Creeden's three goals and one assist gave him four points in the game. Neil Mowbray, Travis Baier and Mark Gibson each had three-point games while singles went to Todd Edgar, Gary Skinn, Patrick Magee and Joel Pegg. After starting at 8 a.m., the Atoms didn't get back into action until nine o'clock that night. They started the game with a full lineup, but between the flu and the cold, five of those starters would normally have been considered "doubtful" if it hadn't been a tournament game. Even so, Wingham opened the scoring about halfway through the first period — Johnston scoring on a goal assisted by Baier. Halfway through the second, Goderich came back to tie with a marker netted by captain Craig Corriveau. Three minutes later, Goderich took a 2-1 lead on a goal by John MacDonald. Wingham's Baier tied the score with a power -play goal near the end of the second period, with Johnston and Creeden drawing the assists. Baier hit again about a minute into the third period, assisted by Gibson and Johnston, but the 3-2 Wingham lead was short-lived as Mark. Johnston again tied it for Goderich 'at the six -minute mark and setting the stage for overtime. Wingham drew the only penalty in the extra frame — tripping at 1:52 — but managed to hold off the Gode- rich power play. Less than 30 seconds after the penalty ended, however, Goderich netted the winner. Mark Johnston got credit for the winning goal, coming with only 43 seconds remaining in the overtime period. That eliminated Wingham from the tournament and sent Goderich into the final on Sunday. 0-0-0 Reprove your friend in secret.
