Friday night with the West

ILDERTON — "We came out flat and fought back.
It could have gone any way," says Lucan Ilderton
Jets general manager Rob Andrews, whose team
lost 4-3 against Tavistock Saturday night.
The Jets were down 2-0 after the first and then
3-0 after the second, but were able to make a
strong comeback with three quick goals by Jason
Wilson, Scott Phillips and Alex Butkus tying the
game 3-3. There were no goals in the third which
forced a five minute period overtime, which was
scoreless. The game then went to a five player
shootout, leading to a 4-3 win for Tavistock.
Andrews says despite the losses, the Jets are
staying positive and are still in good standing with
31 points, putting them in the top four teams on
the south side, while Tavistock is in first place.
Andrews says the team, which has five games
remaining, is concentrating on getting back on
track, adding that with two of his goalies, K.J.
Robinson and Dave Riddell away for the last four
games it was tough. Andrews does commend
goalie Jamie Wallace and Marc Wallace for step-
ping up. "They did an excellent job filling in, and
did so quite admirably."
The Jets play in Clinton Friday night at 8:30 p.m.
and in Lucan against Milverton Saturday night at
8:30 p.m.
"This is the homestretch," says Andrews, adding,
"We're hoping to get back on track this weekend."
The Jets also lost 4-3 against Lucknow Jan. 4
and 5-1 to Tavistock Dec. 29, but beat Wingham 6-
1 Dec. 28 and Central Elgin 5-3 Dec. 22.
