The Citizen, 1994-06-08, Page 8S ports PAGE 8. THE CITIZEN. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 8, 1994. Blyth Decor routs Tigers By a stride In a neck and neck race, the Blyth B-Line and Goderich slow pitch teams fought for the win during the Brussels Optimist tournament this past weekend. Here, the Goderich runner beats the throw by a stride. Neither team captured the crown, however, as the Listowel Bullets came home the champs. Peterborough Petes select Scott Walls in OHL draft For the third year in a row, a player with ties to the Brussels Bulls Junior C hockey team has been selected in the Ontario Hockey League draft. Saturday in Belleville, the Peterborough Petes picked 17-year- old Scott Walls. In his first year with the Bulls the Clifford native was named the team's and the league's Rookie of the Year. Walls appeared in 23 games and posted the fifth lowest goals against average. He was the only player from the Western Junior C League picked. Walls did not attend the draft but was contacted by phone on Sunday by the Petes. He is to be in Peterborough this weekend for fitness testing and a barbecue at Roger Neilson's cottage. Neilson used to coach the Petes and now coaches the NHL's Florida Panthers. Walls said he was surprised to go so high but delighted to be picked by the Petes. Last year Todd Norman was picked in the third round by the Guelph Storm from the Stratford Cullitons. As a 14-year-old, Norman played for the Bulls and was also the Junior C League's Rookie of the Year. The other Bull drafted was defenceman Quade Lightbody, who after playing a year of Junior B was able to crack the Peterborough lineup this past season. Bulls Coach Scott Pettigrew said, "Our organization is obviously very proud of Scott's Achievement and wish him the best of luck. Anyone who watched Scott play last season could see his potential and we will be hard pressed to find a replacement with his ability, but we are going to try." Belgrave Squirts earn split against Brussels, Winthrop Belgrave Squirt Boys split the action in two games played recent­ ly- On May 24 Belgrave narrowly edged a visiting Brussels '83' team by a score of 15-14. Belgrave took a big lead in the first scoring eight to Brussels one. Crossing the plate for Belgrave were Tim Robinson, Myron Hussey, Adam Potter, Jason Fear, David Wray, Travis Campbell, Justin Campbell and Craig Marks. Brussels cut the lead in half in the second, shutting down the home team then adding four to their own score. In the third, however, it was all Belgrave again with five scores to one. Jason Fear, Travis Campbell, Matthew Wall, Jimmy McCracken and a homerun by Justin Campbell gave the boys a big lead for the sec­ ond time. Brussels pulled out the stops with nine runs in the fourth to lake the lead, but Ricky Buchannan and Tim Robinson crossed the plate in the home half for the win. One week later Winthrop turned the tables, defeating their hosts by 10-14. Scoring for Belgrave were Tim Robinson, Mike Campbell, Jimmy McCracken, Justin Campbell, Travis Campbell, David Wray, (twice), Ricky Buchannan, Curtis Knight and Jason Fear. Blyth Decor scored seven first inning runs enroute to an 11-4 mercy of the Brussels Tigers in Huron County Fastball League play. Don Bogie struck out eight Tigers for the win while Doug Conley took the loss. Brussels Boys PeeWee soccer takes opener The Brussels PeeWee soccer team began the season with a home-opener against Newton on May 30. Strong defensive play by the entire team kept Newton's scoring chances to a minimum. Corey Newman opened with an early goal in the first half and added another two unanswered goals before Newton put a mark on the board. Kirk Baillie finished off the Brussels attack, bringing the game to a 4-1 finale for the home team. It looks like a strong team this year. The next home game will be June 13 versus Drayton. Seaforth downs Brussels Squirts On Tuesday, May 31, the Brussels Squirt Boys '82' opened their season against Seaforth. Early-season jitters were evident, as the boys surrendered a quick, seven runs in the first. After this, however they responded with very disciplined play, and did not surrender any more runs. In the second inning, Nathan Garland sparked his teammates with a strong double up the middle. Aggressive baserunning brought him and Patrick Gilkes, who had been walked, across the plate. The defense settled down, too, after the first inning. Andrew Garland was very sharp, striking out two and walking only two. The boys even managed to pull off an inning-ending double play in the third, when they alertly tagged out a Seaforth runner who had failed to tag up on a fly ball. However, the Seaforth defense was loo strong on this night, and they held on for a 7-2 victory. The boys play their next game on June 15, against Winthrop, and their first home game on June 17, against Seaforth. • In most Canadian cities, the average ambulance response time is eight to twelve minutes.
