Three local players
on Eastern Canadian
pee wee champions
The Chepstow Cougars and an
entourage of parents, fans and sup-
porters .travelled to Nova Scotia
late last month to .compete in the
1995 Eastern Canadian Pee Wee
Fastball championships.
While there, they explored the
cities of Dartrr,outh and Halifax,
toured the citadel in old Halifax,
visited picturesque Peggy's Cove,
went on a ferry board ride in Hali-
fax -harbor to see some whales,
and attended a Toronto Gators ex-
hibition fastball game in Halifax.
And, the team still found the
time to win six straight fastball
games of their bwn to claim the
Eastern Canadian pee wee title.
Jay Leitch of Wingham, and
Kevin Collins and Todd Thomp-
son of Teeswater were members
of this powerful Chepstow contin-
gent. The Cougars chalked up an
impressive 56 runs scored,while
allowing the opposition to score
only two.
The Eastern Canadian pee wee
championship featured an all -
Ontario final, and just as they did
in the Ontario eliminations back in
July, the Cougars claimed the title
over the southern rivals from Wa-
terford, this time by a 6-1 score.
This encore performance had a
similar story as the locals com-
bined great pitching and solid hit-
ting to defeat the Waterford PINS.
On the way to the championship
final, the Cougars defeated Que-
bec 13-0; shut out Newfoundland
7-0; beat Evangeline, PEI 16-0;
defeated Kensington. PEI 14-0;
and downed Nova Scotia 5-1.
Throughout the season, the fans
have commented on the fine job
the coaches Tom Lang and Alan
Anstett of Chepstow, have done
with these kids in teaching them
the necessary skills but also the
importance of sportsmanship and
instilling that true grit, determina-
tion and love for the game.
What a fantastic finish to a
fairy-tale season • as the Cougars
challenged and defeated all com-
ers from east of the Manitoba bor- •
der.
And, the individual efforts put
forth by all the players on this club
culminated in one big team victo-
ry.
The pitchers, of course get star
billing as both Tim Lang of Chep-
stow and Kyle Harloff of Strat-
ford, were near perfect. Harloff s
performance earned him MVP..
honors by the narrowest of mar-
gins over the always dominant
Lang.
Nick Heisz, of Formosa, who
always exemplifies the `heart and
soul' of the team was named to the
all-star team as catcher.
The local boys were also big
contributors with Thompson's ac-
robatics in the hole at short stop
and Leitch and Collins contribut-
ing to the powerful Chepstow of-
fence.
But most of all, this victory
must be shared with all the people,
organizations, service clubs, and
sports teams who provided both
moral and financial support which
was necessary to make this cham-
pionship a truly team effort.
To all those sponsors along with
Wescast Industries,: Ken Leitch,
Howson and' Rowson,' GayLea
Foods, Teeswater Co-op, Teeswa-
ter Concrete, Edward Fuels Ltd.,
Teeswater Lions Club, Sparling's
Propane, and the Teeswater Old-
timer ball club, a sincere thank
you is extended.
So as the curtain comes down
on the amazing 1995 Chepstow
Cougar season there really isn't
much left to say except — spring
training is just around the corner!
Swim for Heart held
The annual Swim for Heart
event, to raise money for the Heart
and Stroke Foundation, was held
at the Wingham Centennial Pool

lect pledges. This money was

Heart and Stroke Foundation. A

lan Whitefield with $116, Brendon
Dinning with $116, and Victoria
