The Jets were in Goderich Oct. 27 and hammered the Pirates with a 11-4 win, taking a 4-1 lead after the first on goals by Tim Parsons, Brady Kjeldgaard, Brad Yeo and Greg Lalonde. The visitors added two more in the second period with Jason Davies get- ting both before the Jets put the game away in the third on five more goals as Darrell Parsons, Mark Read, and JD McFarlane fired singles and Shawn Fairweather added two. The Pirates were in Lucan Oct. 29 and again the game was close for two periods. The Jets had another 4- 1 lead after two periods on two more goals from Fairweather and one each from Mike Vandeven and Todd Hunt. The Jets took control again in the third as they fired six more as Lalonde and Mark Landon each had two with Wilson and Steve Mathews getting one each. Starting in net for Goderich was Kate Lane, who has been signed to a card by the Pirates. Despite the 10 goals, Andrews said he thought Lane played outstanding. "She really didn't have a chance on a lot of the shots." Lane is a former goalie for Dartmouth of the NCAA and Andrews gives Goderich manager Trevor Bazinet credit for signing Lane. "She is carded with them and they are, I think, going to play her on a regular basis." Andrews said the Jets players did- n't let up driving to the net. "They still crashed the net and did every- thing you would in an ordinary game and she seemed to handle it just fine." The Jets have just one game this weekend when they travel to Tavistock Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. Andrews said the Jets started to turn their game around following a recent loss to Clinton. "We had a let down...and the boys all knew it."

The Panthers won the bronze medal by defeating Medway in a shootout by a 2-1 score. Kaitlyn Hakvoort gave an excellent performance in net as she stoned the Medway shooters, said coach Jim Workman. Kristin Ferguson and Kelly Cronyn netted for the Panthers to win the bronze. The game ended in a 0-0 tie after regulation and 0-0 after sudden death overtime. The Panthers lifted their game and had the most chances in a hotly contested game in less than ideal conditions, but could not find the allusive, net said Workman. He said it was a great team performance with vet- eran Cronyn playing superb as did rookie Karly Bryson. Workman said in the semifinal game, the Panthers worked hard and had many chances to score, but again could not find that finishing touch. Parkside from St. Thomas took the few chances they had and punished South Huron, scoring one in the first half and one with a few minutes remaining in the game and against the run of play. In pool play, the Panthers started off against Medway and played their hearts out, leaving noth- ing in the tank. The field was a mud bowl, but both teams played great hockey. Medway scored in a goal mouth scramble but the Panthers stormed back and should have had two goals, but Workman said both were disallowed because it was impossible to see the goal line. The 1-0 loss was a real disappointment to the South Huron girls, but they gathered enough com- posure to defeat Strathroy in the second pool game, which was another disappointment compared to the earlier game. South Huron opened the scoring after 16 minutes with Lindsay Mills scoring from a Ferguson pass. Mills again scored midway through the second half to seal the victory, with a final score of 2-0. Goderich, coached by Ray Lewis, won WOSSAA and advances to OFSAA, together with Parkside. In the final Huron -Perth league games of the sea- son, South Huron defeated St. Marys 5-1 with Sandra Gregus opening the scoring after five min- utes. Kelly Cronyn added a second as she converted an Abbey Oke penalty corner. In the second half, Staci Miller scored from a Ferguson pass and Ferguson scored two of her own to wrap up the scoring. South Huron also played St. Anne's and were eager to prove the earlier victory by St. Anne's would not be repeated. Gregus opened the scoring after five minutes and 10 minutes later, Mills added to the total. Gregus scored a second to finish the half up 3-0. The game continued into the second half with the Panthers applying most of the pressure but in one defensive slip up they allowed St. Anne's to score a goal. Workman said this ended up as a successful sea- son for the girls and with most returning next year, it looks to be a promising season but the team is always interested in finding new talent and hopes next year's Grade nines will be full of keen athletes. Workman wishes good luck to those graduating players.
