The Times Advocate, 2006-03-22, Page 19Wednesday, March 22, 2006 Exeter Times–Advocate • Two road wins for MidgetAEs EXETER — The Midget AE hockey team traveled to Haliburton this past weekend to start their OMHA championship final series against the local Highland Storm team. In game one South Huron came away with a 5-2 win. Despite a few opening game jitters and a slow start that saw South Huron down 2-0 in the first peri- od, the kids rallied to move within one late in the peri- od. Within seconds of drop- ping the puck in the sec- ond the score was tied and South Huron dominated the play for the remainder of the game. The Storm brought a physical game to the rink and the South Huron play- ers stepped up their play in response. Some questionable calls in the second period saw South Huron with two players in the box but the South Huron defensive squad controlled the play and Mac Potter in net made several key saves. Anstett led the way offensively by scoring a hat trick. Head coach Jeremy Geoffrey emphasized "we're playing a good team that went to the International Silver Stick finals. Our team play was slow at the start and got better but still has room for improvement." In game two South Huron edged Haliburton 1- 0 in overtime. In a goaltenders duel to the end, South Huron could not capitalize despite outshooting Haliburton and with 40 seconds left in the game, Potter had to make a couple of great saves to keep the game tied. With the game scoreless after regulation time, Mitch Overholt started the play deep in the South Huron end, passing up to Anstett. With a pass in front of the net, Nick Jeffrey buried the puck in the net to clinch the win. Geoffrey said "We played really well, but the Storm's goalie kept them in the game. Over all, we moved the puck well. A key save by Potter on a breakaway in overtime gave us the chance to win." South Huron thanks the Highland Storm Minor Hockey association for their hospitality. Game three is scheduled for Saturday at 4 p.m in the Stephen Arena with game four (if necessary ) scheduled to be played in Exeter on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. Come out and support the local boys. OHSRA rodeo award for Crediton rider WATERFORD — A Crediton rider was the winner of the Cowgirl award at a rodeo in Waterford last month. Emily Forrest of Crediton was at the Ontario High School Rodeo Association (OHSRA) and com- peted well winning the breakaway roping in both the afternoon and evening rodeo. At the end of the day Forrest had enough points to win the Overall Cowgirl Award. The Ontario High School Rodeo Association (OHSRA) held two rodeos in Waterford, Ont., Feb. 25. These cowboys and cowgirls competed in all the extreme events you would expect to see at an event such as the Calgary Stampede, including bull riding, steer wrestling, roping and barrel racing. It was an exciting rodeo with all the thrills, spills and speed the audience expected. The OHSRA is part of the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) in which over 12,500 stu- dents from across Canada, the United States and Australia com- pete for schol- arships and a spot in the National and Canadian finals this summer in Springfield, I11, and Medicine Hat, Alb., respectively. Upcoming events for the OHSRA are March 25 at 12 and 6 p.m in Ilderton and April 14-16 at the first Annual Northeast Regional Rodeo will be held at the Western Fair Agriplex in London. At this rodeo members of Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ontario will compete. It will be a guaranteed exciting weekend.
