Sports Spotlight
by Wayne Proctor
Hi. I am Wayne Proctor, the new staffer here at the Tinier Advo
cate.
Since - I have taken overfilling the sports pages from Mark Bisset 1
would like to -say that am very grateful for this opportunity that Jim
Beckett and Ross Haugh hart given me to pursue illy journalistic en-
deavors here at the Times Advocate.
1 am a graduate from the journalism program at St Clair College
in Windsor, where I •was horn and raised.
That is -also where my'love of sports started. To really be a good
sports writer you have to like what you -are writing about.
1 never played a lot of sports as a -kid, but -I did play baseball and
really -enjoyed it. I continued playing right through this past summer.
I have always followed hockey and baseball on -television. My fa-
vorite baseball team was, and still,is, the Detroit Tigers and once in a
while I even made the short trip to Tiger Stadiwmto watch my .he-
roes in person with my father. -
My favorite hockey team was and still is the Chicago Black
Hawks. Gradually I 'started watching more sports like. football and
basketball, I also played as many pickup sports as I could.
Growing up, I always wanted to be a professional baseball player.
After about -age 10, I knew that would never happen, and -when 1 was
in high school !realized the only way I could stay associated with all
sports was to write about them.
It was then I decided to pursue a- journalism career and why [ took it
up in college. I will let you decide whether 1 made the right choice.
-The first day in journalism class my instructor told me if you want
to get rich being a reporter, quit right -now. -1 guess 1 learned that the
hard way in Orangeville. -
My first job in the business was at the Orangeville, Ontario Citi-
zen shortly after graduation where my duties at the Citizen- were
strictly' to -cover sports.
Since 1 was thc sports staff on the paper, it was my job to report
and photograph events and put everything on the page in its rightful
place. 1 stuck -it out in Orangeville for 15 months and -covered just
about every sport imaginable. -
That is one reason why I.think I will like it here.. It is not just
strictly sports. 1 am looking forward to all the -Grand Bend council
stories, the upcoming elections and all the possible feature stories,
which 1 feel will broaden my horizons.
I am sure all the coaches and players in the area.wereused to the
way Mark did things in:terms of covering sporting events- and 1
would like that to continue if not make it even better.,Plcase realize
that I cannot make it out to report on everything during -the week,
but if there is special -event that you think needs special coverage,
just give .me a call a day or two in advance and I will -do my best. We
should be able to at least arrange -a way to get it covered. •
Any teams. that would like special reports please stop by the T A
office, at 424 Main St.. in Exeter and I will he harpy. to give vou-
game coverage sheets that can be turned in every week and it will be
assured of getting in the sports pages.
But most of all 1 want to say if you sec me at a sporting -event, or
any eventtin the area, it sure would be nice if you could.say.hi, after
all I am the new kid in town, and don't knowa heck of a lot -of peo-
ple. - -
Panthers roll on to win
By Michelle Ellison
The South Huron District High
School .Senior -Football team
claimed anothcr�win. 24-0 against
Norwell on Thursday. The win
makes their record 4-0.
In the first half of play, the Pan-
thers underestimated Norwell's tal-
ent, making too many mental and
physical mistakes. Head coach, Ron
Bogart, felt that the team was very
lucky to have received Harlon Tin-
ncy's two -yard touchdown, seeing
as the Panthers seemed to have no
desire to win, letting Norwell domi-
nate the first half of play. Although
it was a disappointing first half for
SH, the -team came to life for the
second half of the game.
The third quarter brought SH a
Shuffleboard scores

added five more in the third.
Seaforth picked up three goals in
the second frame and three -more in
the third.
Denomy, Weisharr, Marshall and
Hayter once again led the Irish with
a pair of markers, while singles
were scored by Pearce, Jeff Hirtzell,
Barnes, Doerr, Febrey and Murray.
Neil and Brad Muir lcd with three
set-ups each, while David Hinge,
Denomy, Fcbrcy, Pearce, Marshall,
Hayter, Kevin Leitch and Barnes
each picked up a pair.
Next game for the Irish is tonight
when they play host to Mitchell'at
the Lucan Arena at 8:15. It will be
a battle of the first -place teams. Fri-
day night they travel to Wellesley
for an 8:30 contest•
five -yard touchdown from Doug Re-
gier. Jon O'Connor kicked the con-
vert to [make the score 13-0. Before
the end of the game, Regier man-
aged to run in a two -yard- touch-
down and O'Connor made another
convert to make the final score -24-
0.
Bogart's defensive player of the
game was Mark Coward. Coward
made four key tackles for the Pan-
thers as well as putting forth an ex-
ceptional effort to intercept a pass
from Norwell.
Also making some key tackles
were Joc Gower with eight, Steve
Grcb with six, Norm Atkins with
five and Jon O'Connor and Brent
McDonald with four each.
Offensively, Bogart chose Dan
Weigand as thc player of the game.
Weigand made 11 carries for 86
yards.
Bogart felt the Panthers took -Nor-
well too lightly, not taking advan-'
tagc of their size over Norwell. Hb
believes that with more commit-
ment and dedication from some
players, the outcome of this Thurs-
day's game against Norwell will be
more what he expected of last
week's game.
