EXETER — After a slow start to their
playoff run, the South Huron Midget AEs
rebounded to make a run for the champi-
onship which ended on Sunday with a 3-
1 win over the Highland Storm to clinch
the OMHA All -Ontario title.
South Huron coach Paul Overholt said
the team started its round robin play with
two losses against Forest and Petrolia
before winning two games to recover.
"We could have been out really easily,"
said Overholt who said the team didn't do
anything differently after the losses, "we
just stepped up."
The Sabres then went on a run defeat-
ing Petrolia three straight with scores of
3-2, 5-1 and 8-2 before going into the
semi-finals against Twin Centre.
South Huron again swept the series
with 3-1, 5-2 and 4-2 wins to advance to
the finals.
They won the first two games of the
series 5-2 and 1-0 in overtime and were
looking to clinch the title on Saturday but
came out on the short end of a 3-0 score.
With Highland looking to tie the series
on Sunday the Sabres had some penalty
trouble early.
But the South Huron penalty killers
held off the Highland power play with
goalie Mac Potter making several key
saves before Blair Parsons scored for a 1-
0 South Huron lead.
South Huron was on the penalty kill
again later with a two-man advantage for
Highland but the turning point in the
game was late in the third.
With a five minute Storm power play
and the Sabres nursing a 2-0 lead,
Highland was only able to get one goal
before the Sabres fired the winner into
the empty net to seal the win and the
championship.
"Everything was against us for a while
there," said Overholt.
He added what made the difference
was that "everyone just came to play.
When we started I told them, `no one
remembers the first 15 games, it's the
last 10 that makes a difference."'
