REGISTRATION Wingham Arena Thursday, September 7th, 7-9 PM Saturday, September 9th, 9-12 Noon JAY LEITCH TODD THOMPSON 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 Dartmouth 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 own 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 YINS. 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. Harldrff'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 Howson, 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!
