Barton's hit trick the difference Sunday
Hawks take 3-0 series lead
By Ray Lewis
EXETER - The Exeter Hawks
took a 3-0 series lead in their best -
of -seven Western Ontario Junior
'D' west division semifinalseries
against Pt. Stanley as a result of
back to back wins at home on the
weekend.
The Hawks won , the opener
Tuesday night in Pt. Stanley, 6-5.
The locals then snared convincing
wins of 5-3 and 5-2 in their re-
spective games Friday and Sun-
day, giving them the opportunity
to wrap things up last night in Pt.
Stanley. The series victor will
face the winner of the Lucan-
Lambeth series which currently
stands at two games a piece.
Sunday evening's 5-3 game was
no easy contest for the Hawks.
"It was a good win," said Exeter
coach George Pratt afterwards. "I
think we worked hard for this
one.
Both teams started slow, skating
to a scoreless draw at the end of
20 minutes. Despite a few good
chances at bdth ends, neither team
mounted much of an offense, in-
stead playing much of the game
between the bluelines.
The Hawks drew first blood just
23 seconds into the second frame
when Andrew Barton scored his
first of three on the night from J.P.
Cousineau and Doug Clark. The
Hawks came out of the dressing
room fired up, outshooting the
Lakers 14-4, but cooled down as
the period grew older.
The Lakers tied it up on the
powerplay while Clark was off for
• slashing. N. Stanley's Dan Ma-
guire scored at 16:29 of the sec-
ond, beating goaltender Clint
McCann on the glove side.
Exeter regained the lead four
minutes into the third when Barton
notched his second. Jason Hey-
wood did some yeoman's work
with an end to end rush to set up
the goal.
Three minutes later, Heywood
added a goal of his own after some
fine work by Scott Schiedel. Schie-
del took a pass from Jamie Cornish
and deked goaltender Bill Hellems
well out of position. Schiedel's
shot missed the mark, but Heywood
popped the rebound into an open
net.
Pt. Stanley got one back on the
powerplay when Chris Wismer fed
Trevor Parish as they broke in
alone on McCann to make it 3-2.
But that was as close as the visitors
would get as the Exeter netminder
shut the door on the Lakers for the
remainder of the game.
Gross misconduct
At 18:23 of the third, with Pt.
Stanley pressing, Cousineau tied up
a defender at centre ice. Barton
gathered up the loose puck and
broke in alone to ice the hat trick.
Lakers coach Rick Sutherland
took exception to no penalty being
called and hurled some verbal
abuse at referee Dave Whaley. A
few waterbottles also found their
way onto the ice and Whaley was
forced to issue the coach a gross
misconduct penalty.
Five seconds after the ensuing
face off at centre ice, Schiedel add-
ed some insurance with a slapshot
from outside the blueline that trick-
led between Hellems' pads.
Pt. Stanley finished the game two
men short when they were involved
in two fights and drew the extra mi-
nor penalties. The Hawks main-
tained their composure for a well-
earned team victory.
After the game, Barton com-
mended his teamates.
"It really felt great when things
started to come together," said Bar-
ton. "The defense was working
really hard at getting the puck up to
us. It was a big win."

Minutes. Corey Colhoun scored

Clark made it 2-0 tipping in a shot
from Larry Lewis.
Pt. Stanley cut the lead in half
when Parish answered with an un-

two goal lead at 10:59 of the first
when Clark teamed up with Cousi-
neau.
The Lakers scored just four min-
utes into the second period on a
goal by Mark Redden and managed
to tie the game at 11:52 when they
capitalized on the powerplay. The
visitors' Derek Weaver scored
while Lewis was off for cross-
checking.
Schiedel recaptured the lead for
Exeter just three minutes later with
assists going to Heywood and Har -
len Tinney, and John Bell added
some insurance with a powerplay
marker at 16:27 of the second.
Game One
In the series opener, Tuesday in
Pt. Stanley, the Hawks came out
slow, twice spotting the Lakers
three goal leads. Exeter trailed by
scores of 3-0 and 5-2 before mak-
ing a wild third -period comeback.
Goals by Parish, Dylan Morgan
and Chuck Wickens gave the home
squad a 3-0 lead. Two second peri-
od goals 20 seconds apart by Scott
Schiedel and Derek Shackleton got
the Hawks back into it only to have
the home team regain the three goal
margin on goals by Redden.
Exeter moved one closer before
the end of the second When Schie-
del notched his second. Goals by
Barton and Clark tied the game up
and Tinney dented the twine in the
final two minutes to secure the win.
Heywood played a strong game
setting up four of Exeter's six goals.
South Perth league
expanding for 1992
he South Huron Men's
TFastball League is just
six weeks away from
starting another sea-
son.
Monday night in Mitchell, rep-
resentatives from the various
teams, including the local Exeter
Royals met and discussed busi-
ness for the upcoming year. A
new executive was elected and
insurance was talked about, but
sidelines

Groves
the most interesting topic around the tables was that the league has
expanded.
A year ago there were 18 teams split in two divisions. This year,
although the divisional alignments have yet to be put in place, there
will be 19 teams.
The league decided to allow Shakespeare Juniors, Wellesley, St.
Agatha and the St. Marys Selects; New Hamburg Reds folded. Prior
to the announcement the four would be allowed in and the league
would *o over its cap of 18 teams, president Bob Harris said one
team might be disappointed because they only had room for three.
"Somebody's going to walk away disappointed because we can
only allow three teams. I don't want to see any of these guys turned
away," said Harris.
That's when the representatives decided to re-wi oe their own con-
stitution and allow 19 teams.
"If the league thinks we can manage with 18 teams, I'm flexible.
We're looking at keeping South Perth as healthy as possible."
The league is flourishing despite the hard economic times. In fact,
a financial statement issued Monday night showed a positive out-
look.
South Perth is a mixture of veterans who have been tossing the
ball around for years, and youngsters, even midget aged like a
squad from Stratford. At least three teams are comprised of players
under 21.
"I think it's great to keep the younger teams in. It keeps the league
going and makes it viable," said Harris.
Get out your sneakers and sweat suits Exeter.
May 27-31 is Physical Activity Week and the South Huron Recre-
ation Centre is planning activities which will hopefully get the en-
tire community involved.
On Wednesday, May 29, recreation director Lynne Farquhar
hopes to see the local business people wearing sneakers and sweat
suits. A few years ago when the last Physical Activity Day was
held, several banks rode stationary bikes.
"We're looking at promoting physical activities and to have fun,"
said Farquhar.
She said Goderich has a corporate challenge and would like to see
Exeter do the same thing.
Once again, officers from the Exeter Police Department and the
Exeter O.P.P. will be participating in the Ontario Law Enforcement
Torch Run for Special Olympics.

total, raised $425,000.
This year's local run will begin in Zurich on June 4 at 8 a.m. and
three hours later will wrap up in Exeter. Presentations are planned
in Hensall at 10 a.m. and in Exeter.
If you wish to get involved this year as a runner or as a contribu-
tor, please contact Exeter OPP constable George Finch at 235-1300
for further information.

In senior boys, the outcome was
not quite as spectacular, however,
the doubles team of Jason Schilbe
and Jason Coolman did manage to
come out in fourth place as they
won two -out -of -four games. In sin-
gles play James Wamsley dropped
two games which removed him
from play. In the mixed competi-
tion, Ian Verbeek and Deb Regier
were fourth winning two -out -of -
three games.
In junior play, the girls dominat-
ed once again, in singes, Lisa For-
rest walked away with a gold medal
winning all three of her games
against Elmira, Central Huron and
Central Wellington. To add to this,
in doubles, Exeter was fourth as
they dominated in two -out -of -four
games.
In boys play, neither the doubles
team of Murray McKay and Jamie
Ramer nor singles' Corey Gingerich
could come up with a placing as
each team dropped two games. In
mixed, Keith Cranford and Mindy
Bell came up short as they also lost
two games.
Junior coach Sue Stuart was very
pleased with the juniors effort as all
but two of her players were new
this year. "I'm looking forward to a
season full of surprises," she said.
