Times Advocate, 1993-10-20, Page 14Page 14 Times -Advocate, October 20,1993 — is P -r� rY-'►` -� Thurman's three -pointer sparks seniors over Madill EXETER - A Stacey Thurman three-point shot with two seconds left in the third quarter made a very big difference Thursday afternoon. Ahearrby just two points, Thur- man launched the bomb from her favourite spot, the right side of the court, to help the South Huron Pan- thers to a 34-26 win over the visit- ing F.E. Madill Mustangs. The win lifts the Panthers high school senior girls Huron Confer- ence basketball record to an im- pressive 34. South Huron held a slim 19-14 halftime lead thanks to Jenny Rob- ertson's three -pointer from the top of the circle but the Mustangs came out quick in the second half, domi- nating early. Kerri Lyn Case silenced the visi- tors surge with a nice move to the hoop through traffic which made it 21-16 for the Panthers. Madill managed to tie it up but with 1:50 left in the third quarter Chris Pass- more hit a long shot to put the hosts back in from. South Huron had a comfortable five -point cushion alter Passmore shot, it went off the glass, but for- ward Candace Miller was there to get the rebound and put it in. Miller, who collected several re; bounds during the game, was fouled on the play and made the foul shot for a three-point play. Although she didn't figure in the scoring, South Huron's Tara Pepper played a majgf role as the forward was outstanding defensively and rarely took a break. In the fourth quarter, the Panthers worked the ball around, using the clock and looking for the good shot. Thurman made a nice pass across the key to Becky Hartman with 24 seconds left in the game and with five ticks on the clock left, Hartman scored again. Thurman and Passmore led the winners with seven points each while Christine Carr paced the Mustangs with 10. • Juniors fall again 'Without injured Helen Theophil- opoulos and Lori Guenther, the junior Panthers dropped their third THE BROADSTREET BULLIES The PHILADELPHIA FLYERS; when one says the name, eve- rybody has visions of the BROADSTREET BV1 L WS. There was BOBBY CLARKE, .a :feisty Little gamer. I once saw TERRY OtREILLY hit him behiad1heaibt:in the ;BOSTON GARDEN in theplay-offs one year and tear the museles•off the bone of his leg in the grout area. He taped up the leg andtried to come back. Remember BERNIE PARENT, who for two years was the best goalie in the world? Remember how he almost single handedly beat the BOSTON BRUINS? Then there was BILLY BARBER, who taught the RUSSIANS how to dive, but at least he_got upp with a lit- tle smile on his face. Boy, did he have a nice part of bands. What about REGGIE LEACH with that slap shot? One year he must of got hundred goals against us. (At least it seemed like a hun- dred). I remember he let one go and caught GERRY CHEEVERS in the face. Down goes CHEEVERS. I figure he's dead and I'm heartbroken. There's my meal ticket la�ymmgg there, I run out on the ice, there's blood coming from CHEEVERS everywhere. I say, "GERRY, GERRY, speak to me, speak to me! Are yyou alright?" CHEEVERS oens one eye:and says, "Ikrt ok GRAPES. HOW sthie crowd taking it?" GARY DORNHOEFER was like a rock in front of the net and HOUND DOG KELLY, always stirring things up. There was slick RICK MACLEISH and BARRY ASHBEE making -sure BER- NIE could see the puck by nailing anybody who stood in front of the PHILLY net. Remember the two WATSONS, JIMMY AND JOE? They were solid back there. Perhaps the toughest defenceman in the whole league was EDDIE VAN IMPE. Remember the num- ber he did on the RUSSIAN? Sweet stuff. There was ANDRE "Moose" DUPONT who backed'down from nobody, and the most popular player DAVE "THE HAMMER" SHULTZ. Lot of tough guys, althoouug�h one guy I thought never fit in with these honest boys was SALESKI a bit ofphoneyy. I remember one time MOOSE DUPONT had a fight with JOHNATHAN and was cut up pretty good, but he was in throwing them at the end. Later in the game there was another fight in the comer between two other guys and our JOHN WENSIN was watching closely. SALESKI comes up behind, WENSINK, turns around and guess who has to take them on? you guessed it, "THE MOOSE." • The HAMMER was something else. I saw him when he was a rookie and I was coaching THE ROCHESTER AMERICANS and he was playing for the RICHMOND ROBINS. He had the league in terror. I said to myself, Hey, this is good, I'm going to build the AMERICANS like this," which I did. The fust year I coached against THE BULLIES while with THE BRUINS, I could see we had a ton of talent, but we weren't tough. So out went the floaters and in came the gnnclers. STAN JOHNATHAN JOHN WENSINK, TERRY O'REILLY, WAYNE CASHMAN? AL RECORD BOBBY SCHMAUTZ. THE HAMMER says in his book that PHILLY had a tough team and BOSTON had a tough team, but THE BRUINS had three guys who were nuts (I don't know if he included the coach or not). The games between the BRUINS and PHILLY, were classics and even the exhibition games were something. I remember one game in the SPECTRUM, we had a brawl that lasted a half hour. and ended with CASHMAN and PAUL HOLGREM duking it out in the corridor outside the dressing rooms. Both got suspended. Theplay- offs wan 'war. I can recall 1977; we played over ninety minutes in the semi-finals, game #2 April 26 when TERRY O'REILLY scored on a pass form RATELLE. PHILLY was the best draw in the league. When I coached the COLO- RADO ROCKIES, I remember PAT QUINN coming into DENVER and we had 16.500 in the building and two thousand waiting outside to get into the bw1din�. The Towers to be" who are now in the NHL, really don't like to hear the name BROADSTREET BULLIES because it gives the league a bad image (Honest). All Ilgot to say is "It's too bad that we don t have more teams like THE BROADSTREET BULLIES and THE BIG BAD BRUINS." Maybe we wouldn't have half empty buildings at gazes.
