No, it's not the ,Seaforth Peewee. "Ws lucky number. The only significance number 7 has is that it is the. seventh trophy the Peewee "CC"s have brought home for their Legion sponsors. And what a trophy! - the WOAA trophy. The setting was the Durham arena on Sunday afternoon, and the players were Seaforth's own Peewee "CC"s and the Durham Peewees. The fans were nervously talking, waiting for these two tough teams to hit the ice. And hit it they did. From the moment the clock started counting down the seconds, nobody took their eyes off the arena surface. Both goalies were tested in the first minute of play, but Seaforth goalie Adam Agar took the brunt of the shots on net for the rest of the period. He held his op- ponents off until the 6:03 mark however, and then Durham took advantage of a powerplay and an open man to score the first goal of the second game of this series. The style of game Durham was playing was completely different from the three other times it had met up with the Seaforth Peewee "CC"s, and those times it went home the losers. Instead, in this con- test Durham clutched, they held, and they put a shadow on Mike Watt, tying him up for the whole game. But, that was their mistake. Seaforth just reached in and came out with its 12 other skaters - a bottomless pit of talent. You can't shadow them all! The second period started out with action in Seaforth's end, a pile-up in front of the goalie with the puck coming up loose and presto, there were the Devereaux brothers. Boyd Devereaux picked up the loose puck and headed for Durham's end, Mike Devereaux stick handled the puck from Boyd's pass around Durham's net, flipped it back out to Boyd, and in it went. The game was tied at one. Seaforth took the lead minutes later when Mike Weber, fighting for the puck along the boards, broke free with it. He passed across to Mike Devereaux who dek- ed around the defence and Durham goalie to score number two for Seaforth. Durham, needing this win to stay in the series, put on the pressure and came back to tie the score when their center passed the puck from behind the net to the open winger in the slot. Durham was able to take the lead as the seconds ticked away in this period, with a similar play - winger to open man in the slot. Durham led 3-2 at the end of the second period. Tension and tempers were high in the third period, but the action on the ice was insurpassable. The Seaforth Peewee "CC"s were tiring Durham out - slipping the checks and throwing their weight around. But it wasn't a cake -walk. With less than five minutes to play Boyd Devereaux passed to Mike Devereaux and Mike Weber put his rebound in the net. It was a tie game. With less than two minutes to play Weber passed from the slot to Mike Devereaux, who scored from behind the net. Weber then scored to get Seaforth an insurance goal. Durham pulled their goalie, but the Seaforth defence and goalie played tough and stymied Durham's offensive. The Seaforth Peewee "CC"s won 5-3 and now head to the quarter finals of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association playoffs where they will meet either Exeter or Lambeth.

Novice ope playoff series with a won over Cli ton Preparing for their playoff opener against Clinton meant a couple of exhibi- tion games for the Seaforth Novice prior to Sunday's contest. Thursday night in Blyth the fast skating Jeff Cowan opened the scoring for the home team, but Scott Van Dooren had a pair of replies for that one before the mid- way mark of period one.

Before the final period was a minute old Scott V. had pushed the difference to 5-2 and by 8:20 he had a natural hat trick and five on the night. Late in the game Jason Hulley, from Scott H., and Scott H. alone with 41 seconds left, plus one more by Ben Mur- ray with 12 ticks left, made it 9-2 over a weary Blyth team who had only nine skaters. Friday night the Novice team hosted Ex- eter in another exhibition game. Steven Phillips and Sean Ludwig made no bones about being ready for the playoffs as they kicked out everything Exeter could serve up and led the boys to a 3-0 victory.

Van Dooren's first goal came late in period one and the score stayed that way until 7:47 of the third, 1:24 later the scoring was all over. Sunday was finally here and despite be- ing short on playoff experience Coach Mur- ray Henderson was sure plenty of hard work and an eager bunch of boys was all he needed. With a good crowd on hand Scott Van Dooren decided to see how much noise they could make and a breakaway goal just 1:47 in was all it took. The Seaforth fans were in a frenzy. Three minutes later Scott Henderson worked his way toward the Clinton goal during a power play and unleashed a wrist shot that Matt Steenstra saved. But Scott V. fanned the fire by dishing home the rebound, 2-0. The buzzer went, the teams changed ends and within two and a half minutes you'd swear the ice pad had been slanted becaause Clinton re- bounded to even the match on two goals by Jeff Heipel. Four minutes of end-to-end action came to a halt when Ben Murray stymied a Clin- ton rush at his blueline beelinee into enemy territory, down in behind the cage, where a quick turnaround manoeuver lost the defender. Murray looked to the slot where Ryan Van Dooren was patiently waiting to pull the trigger. Out slid the pass and boom, Ryan had the locals on top again, just when Clinton figured stopping the Scott and Scott show was the answer. Clinton got back on even terms with 1:22 left on one of your all time blpoper goals. Pat Culligan backhanded a shot high into the air toward the Seaforth goal and just like an NBA highlight film it hit nothing by twine. Goalie Sean Ludwig experienced what former Blue Jay Lloyd Moseby had happen so often, it travelled just over his head and rested in behind him. At 13:45 of the next period Derek Nesbitt scooped up a loose puck along the boards at centre ice, cruised into Clinton's end and upon noticing two defenders clinging to big shooter Scott V, decided a deke to the inside and then going outside was to his liking. Once outside he set his sights on the net and let go a wrist shot in hopes that if it didn't go in the hard charging Ryan V. might get the rebound. No need this time as Nesbitt put it upstairs where Wally and the Beaver share a bedroom, 4-3 Seaforth. With Seaforth's big gunners guarded closely the wingers took control along the ouside as they found the extra room to their liking. With Mark Vock absent from the line up, Coach Henderson employed his two big centres to rotate between the three sets of wingers. Near the 11 minute mark of the third, right winger Ryan V. stole a puck in the neutral zone, went around a Clinton defensemari like a hoop around a barrel, evaded the other defender and fired a low wrist shot that Scott Henderosn just redirected slightly to put Seaforth up by two. With five minutes remaining Berton Dykstra pumped a breath of life into the Clinton cheering section when he narrow- ed the gap to 5-4. Scott Van Dooren wanted no part of a wild finish clinging to a one goal deficit, so he gathered in a loose puck, zigzagged his way through a crowded centre ice zone to find himself in alone, and made no mistake securing a 6-4 win to take the series lead 1-0. Sean Ludwig tended the goal for the first two periods, while Steven Phillips kept them at bay in period three. Defensemen Jamie Dick and Mike Murray were very sharp all night, thwarting many two on ones, and clearing many loose pucks from the slot area. Tim Sills was particularly sharp offensively as he led many rushes out of his zone and looked confident rushing the puck. Game two of this series goes Thursday night in Clinton. Game time is 6:45 p.m. Game three is Saturday in Seaforth at 7:30 p.m. Highway 401 leads way in bowling In Thursday Nighter Bowling the virtual five team playoff tie was broken and the Highway 401 team came out on top. They recorded a resounding 428 total pin dif- ference and a four point victory over the last place Guttercats. Leading the victory was Gerry Arm- strong with 300/774. Murray Bennewies spared and contributed 279/800 as did Carol Johnston with 256/665. The regulars also came through with big games, Doug Vock 219/623, Joanne Knights 207, Janet Moody 191. Doug Leonhardt tried to carry the Gut - tercet team with 320/732 and Carol Ben- newies also was hot with 228/620. The balance of the team couldn't keep up to the pace set by the competition but Dave Moody and Michelle Deighton hit briefly with 223 and 182 respectively. In the closest match of the night the Wildcats edged the Bears by 11 pins for three of four points. Both teams were struggling and actually had the lowest team totals on the night. The Wildcats' big game was turned in by Don Deighton with a super 316 final game (Don prefers we don't mention the first two). Ralph Johnston rolled a 247. Gary Bedard a 215 and Sharon Marshall added a 180 to ensure the victory. The Bears kept it close on the strength of Karl Tiechert's 246/633 and Wayne Butt's 228/615. Dan Bennewies rolled 233, Pat Deighton 196 and Deb Bedard a 194, enough for one point. Mao in a close matchup were the Ballbangers taking three of four points from Beatlejuice with a 67 pin total dif- ference. Mel Malian was big shooter for the winners with 259/627. Doug Procter recorded 233, Barb Alexander 197 and Steve Steep 217. Beatlejuice had a big game from Eric Matzold 271, as well as Michelle Bennewies 212, Brian Dale 259 and Sherry Turney 201. The most excitement of the night was generated by Dianna Steep's personal season high 206/512. After three of ten playoff weeks the stan- dings are now Highway 401 9, Wildcats 8, Ballbangers 7, Beatlejuice 6, Bears 5 and lastly the Guttercats still with 1.
