Home My WebLink AboutThe Times Advocate, 2005-12-14, Page 19Wednesday, December 14, 2005 Exeter Times–Advocate All-star basketball hosted by SHDHS EXETER — The South Huron District senior girls basketball team wrapped up their season recently and coach Phil Conley and assistant coach Mandy Migchels thank all the players for a successful season. The team had a record of 16 wins and 11 losses and were seven and three in league play for fourth place, which Conley said was impressive taking into account a key injury to their leading scorer Kylen Van Osch, who was averaging 15 points a game until a midseason ankle injury. The addition of Melissa Smith however at point guard, added speed and scoring to the team and Conley said Maggie Roberts and Janine Malcolm added leadership and scoring in Van Osch's absence. Freshmen Missy Pertschy and Janelle Erb stepped into some key rebounding and shooting roles in the later part of the season. Other team members Shannon Clarke, Sierra Douglas and Stephanie Dietrich added defensive grit and depth to a team somewhat shortened on the bench due to some unfortunate moves and withdrawals from the original team of 12 play- ers. Highlights of the season, according to Conley would be a game against one of the province's best, Rockway Mennonite, which won a bronze OFSAA 'A' medal. Other standout games were against Woodstock St. Marys Catholic School in the Banting tourna- ment and the Parkhill tournament, where the Panthers managed two wins against the eventual WOSSAA `AA'bronze medal winner and a con- solation championship in the Banting tournament. Special thanks from the coaching staff go to grad- uating team members Kylen Van Osch, Janine Malcolm and Shannon Clarke who have been the backbone of the team for two years and will be missed by the entire team. Conley said the all-star games hosted by SHDHS Dec. 8 were a great suc- cess with all the South Huron players doing the school proud and playing well. Seniors Smith and Van Osch both scored 10 points for the Huron - Perth white team. Conley thanks all the volunteers who helped run the games smoothly, includ- ing Amy Turkheim, Kaitlyn Davis, Missy Pertschy, Eric Cosman as well as Artemsia Fragiskatos. Having good help makes hosting an event like this easier and more success- ful, said Conley.

Coach Terry O'Rourke said the team tried hard but inexperience was the story of the day as there are a number of players who have played little or no high school basketball. O'Rourke said they are working hard however and will definitely show improvement down the road. J.T Knee led the way with 11 points followed by Tyler Robinson, Spencer Baehnisch, Eric Cosman, Seth Weber and A.J Miller with four points each. The senior boys com- peted in the St. Marys tournament on the week- end. On Friday they lost their first game 63-37 to Regina Mundi. Baehnisch had 11 points followed by Tyler Knip with seven and Cosman with six. On Saturday, the Panthers defeated North Middlesex 65-30. Cosman had 13 points, followed by Robinson and Baehnisch with nine and Knip, Roger Mills and Jordan McAuslan with six each. In the consolation final, the Panthers defeated St. Marys 48-26. Robinson and Knee each had 13 points, Jeff Thomavongsa with eight, Mills with six and Weber had four. All in all the team showed a lot of improve- ment and everyone made positive contributions, said O'Rourke. Well done. 19 Sherwoods lose two HENSALL — The Hensall Sherwoods lost a pair of road games on the weekend, with a 4-3 loss in Clinton Friday night before being blanked 3-0 in Lucknow Sunday afternoon. Hensall sits in fifth place with a record of 10-4-0-0 for 20 points, six back of first place Shelburne. Friday night in Clinton the Sherwoods had a 2-1 lead after one period on goals from Jeff Glover and Chris Kennedy. But the Radars tied it with the only goal of the second period before firing a pair in the final period for a 4-3 win. JR Davies had the lone goal of the third period for the Sherwoods with Kennedy, Glover, Adam McCann and Scott Richardson picking up assists in the loss. With only 13 skaters Sunday afternoon in Lucknow, the Sherwoods were down 1-0 going into the third. But a pair of Lucknow goals put the game away in the 3-0 loss. The Sherwoods are on the road again this weekend with a Dec. 17 game in Shelburne at 8 p.m. Novice win EXETER — The South Huron Novice local league #1 team trav- elled to Watford Dec. 3. Nathan MacDonald opened the scoring at 9:25 but Watford responded just seven seconds later. Good playmaking by both teams in the first period meant forechecking was the key. But South Huron was the better passing team in the first when Paige Lightfoot scored assisted by MacDonald and Mitch Miller. The second period was fast paced with few shots on goalie Owen Kuranyi thanks to good defence by Denver Homuth, Ryan Neeb, Harrison Winters and Kean Dwyer. Making strong contributions in the 3-2 win were the Jared Denotter, Patrick Medd and Brody Reid line and the Regier, Jeremy I-Irudka and Dillon Ilaist line.
