T -A photo Four years in provincial hunt SH field hockey team fourth in Ontario South Huron's girls field hockey team ended their spectacular season in the respectable position of fourth in all of Ontario. The all - Ontario finals were held in Peterborough last weekend. The appearance of the Pan- thers in OFSAA marks the fourth year they have qualified for the tournament. Jim Workman, coach of the team, is proud of his team's effort and notes that the girls are in a special class all of their own with their su^cess. At the tournament, they were one of the two out of 10 schools that were in rural regions. The remaining schools were mostly from the Toronto area.

However, South Huron has always been able to provide reasonable opposition to more experienced teams and is a well respected team. The OFSAA tournament began Thursday and South Huron played the first of its matches against Havergal, a private girls school from Toronto. The game was a close one and Pauline Brand saved the team from tieing 1-1 by scoring precisely on the last second. South Huron therefore won the game and advanced to , play T.A. Stewart, a team from Peter- borough and the host school of Midgets The Exeter midgets were on the short end of the score in two Shamrock minor league hockey games to Parkhill this week. Wednesday in Exeter, Parkhill came up with a 6-3 decision and on home ice Friday blanked the Exeter club 8-0. In Wednesday's game in Exeter, Parkhill jumped into a 4-0 lead early in the third period before the Exeter club could hit the scoreboard. The first Exeter goal came from the stick of Steve Gould with assists going to captain Scott Bogart and John Hannah. The second successful shot was fired by Andy Lerikos on a three way passing combina- tion with Jim Lewis and Terry Zachar. Jeff Pfaff completed the Exeter scoring on a play set the tournament. This meeting was supposed to take place the next day. However, it snowed for most of Thursday night leaving six inches of the detestable white stuff on the ground. This made play an impossibility and the game was postponed until the final day of the tour- nament, Saturday. Saturday morning, as much as possible of the remaining snow on the field was cleaned off and South Huron played their second match. The game resulted in a 1-1 tie. In order to break a tie, each team is allowed to take five penalty shots on the other. The team scoring more goals than the other wins the match. lose pair up by Steve Gould and Allan Pym. Kirk Campbell led the Parkhill scoring attack with a two goal effort. Scoring in single fashion .were Dave Shipley, Bren: Martin, Cam MacDonald and,Paul Barnes. Coach Ron Bogart said, "We came on a bit in the third period, but, just couldn't keep the edge. We would score and then Parkhill would just come back and get an easy one." On the 8-0 loss to Parkhill Bogart said, "We were just making too many little basic mistakes and it cost us. When we start eliminating these mistakes things will hopeful- ly be better." Brent Martin was best for Parkhill with three goals while Paul Barnes con- tributed two successful shots and Brad Muir, Dave Shipley and Cam MacDonald scored in single fashion. • OWN LINE COLLISION If you are involved in an accident, and require a TOW TRUCK you have the right to request the tow truck of your choice Do you want your vehicle to go to a wrecking yard?

Stewart managed to score on three of these shots while the Panthers only managed two and therefore lost the game. Even with their loss, the chance of finishing in the top three was still a possibility for the Panthers. The next game for the girls was a semi-fi,.al against a team from Bayview High school in Thornhill. At the end of regulation time, South Huron was tied with Bayview 0-0. Because the game was a play=off, in- stead of immediately taking penalty shots, the teams went into overtime. Still, no victor emerged. The teams then reverted to penalty strokes to determine a winner. The first set of shots still left the girls dead -locked with tie of 2-2. The next two sets again pro- duced only tie scores until finally in the fourth reund of penalty shots Bayview beat South Huron 2-1. The loss mentally drained the team and eliminated all hope of get- ting the silver medal. Still, South Huron had a chance of at least capturing the bronze medal for third place. In their last game, South Huron faced Steven Leacock High School for Scar- borough. This game was their third in a row and for some of the girls this meant that finishing this game would mean finishing five and a half hours of field hockey. Coach Workman said "The weather fouled us up and the fact that we were the only team that had to play three games in a row really screw- ed us up." Tired and facing cold weather, the Panthers lost the game 2-0. This left South Huron fourth overall in all of Ontario, a feat South Huron should be proud of. The tournament brings field hockey to an end for this school year and Workman is clearly satisfied with the team's performance. As predictions : bout next year, Workman says he'll just have to wait and see. The team was recently featured on CFPL radio's Athletes of the Week show where South Huron's success was com- pared to that of a dynasty. As things stand, the Panthers should probably be able to duplicate some of their suc- cess next year. Wear a PoPPY for Remembrance At home to Goderich, Saturday 1 Imes -Advocate, November 9, 1983 Page 9 Panthers in H.P junior f..tb.II final For the first time in three years the South Huron junior Panther football team has a chance to capture the Huron - Bantams get pair of wins Exeter Legion bantams ran their season's record to 4-2 with a pair of victories and a single loss in last week's action. Wednesday night at home, the locals opened up a 4-0 lead, then held on to register a 4-2 victory over Parkhill. Steve Anderson got Exeter rallying with two first period goals on assists by Mark Coward, Jeff Dalrymple and Tim Moore. Jon O'Connor also scored in the first period, converting a pass from Shawn Moore and then added his second of the night in the second period with help from Steve Lingard. Jason Leslie scored both Parkhill goals in the third period as Parkhill mounted a comeback attempt that was thwarted by the fine goaltending of Scott Heywood. In Strathroy, Thursday, Ex- eter stayed close for two periods before succumbing to a strong Strathroy attack on their way to a 7-1 drubbing. Lingard produced the only goal for the locals with help from O'Connor. In a return engagement in Parkhill on Sunday, Leslie put the home team ahead in the first period before Exeter rallied for a 3-1 victory. O'Connor scored two goals for Exeter on assists from Lingard and Jeff Hannah. Paul Mellecke sealed the win with an empty net goal on an assist from Tim Moore. Fred Gregus was solid in the Exeter net particularly in the third period when Parkhill had a wide edge in scoring opportunities. The previous week Exeter gained a split, winning 4-3 in Ilderton Monday before losing a tough 3-2 decision to Strathroy at home, Wednesday. Against Ilderton, the locals blew a 3-0 lead generated on two goals by O'Connor and a single by Dalrymple. After 11- derton knotted the count, with three straight goals, Darryl McCann notched the winner when he banged in a rebound on a shot by O'Connor. Lingard scored,. twice to stake his team to a 2-0 lead against Strathroy before the winners responded with three straight goals. O'Connor pick- ed up assists on both goals with Hannah helped out on one. Heywood again was sharp in goal for Exeter. Dart scores The Scotties, Crusaders and Turtles each scored four points in Friday's regular play in the Exeter Legion mixed dart league.

This opportunity was the result of South Huron's vic- tory over Listowel in the semi-final, Thursday. The game was played on a bitterly cold day with a strong north wind. This made both passing and kicking in the game very difficult and at times created tremendous disadvantages. Right off the bat, Listowel scored a single on the kickoff which was kicked with the wind and driven back into the South Huron end zone. In the second quarter, South Huron took advantage of the wind to drive in 16 points, making the score 16-3 at halftime. South Huron gave Listowel the wind at the beginning of the second half so they could have it in the fourth quarter. This strategy seemed to work and South Huron kept Listowel from scoring in the third quarter. The Panthers regained the wind in the fourth and used to it to help score two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Bill Fisher scored two touchdowns and carried the ball 15 times fora total of 170 yards.SeanWhiteford scored off a 3u yard pass from Scott Miller. Miller himself scored a touchdown on a short four yard run. He also threw to Sean for a two point convert and kicked a single. Brian Topp rounded things out kick- • Ira/ 4 OIG GAIN — Running back Bill Fisher rambles for one of several big gainers he recorded in the league semi- final against Listowel, Thursday. Good cross country season is completed A very successful cross- country season ended Satur- day at the OFSAA meet in London. The senior girls team finished tenth overall, somewhat below expecta- tions, while the midgets girls ran well to place twelfth in Ontario. The London Ski Club course was in good condition and the weather beautiful as runners from all over Ontario challenged the difficult races. With over 200 runners in each race, the start was a mass of surging bodies. South Huron runner Catherine Pat- terson described it as "a hor- row show. I had to hurdle screaming bodies all over." This difficulty forced the midget team to the back of the pack and passing was hazardous in the woods. After being trampled at the start, resulting in a gashed leg and spike marked knees, Lindy Dillon moved up to finish 66 in 13:02. Jeanette VanEsbroeck ran 69th while Barb Lawson got caught back in 115th. Kathleen Little and Paulette Rauthbauer were 126 and 175 respectively. In an all -Ontario race these finishes are quite respectable. Coach Joe Fulop determin- ed that the midgets could have been eighth with a pro- per start. WOSSA champs from CCH were seventh. While these strong midget runners are just beginning. promising cross country careers several senior run- ners saw their last high school cross country race at OFSAA. All senior girls bettered their times from WOSSA, over the same course, but the competition was considerably tougher. Last year the team's fifth place with 247 points was close to 1983's 296 points but the finish was considerably farther back. Using her incredible pass- ing ability Sheila Regier mov- ed up to 40 spot. Returning the night before on a six hour bus ride from the OFSAA field hockey in Peterborough, Catherine Patterson was 71. Mary Lou Rundle overcame her tonsillitis to place 74. Susan Sullivan realizing she was South Huron's fourth run- ner came in at 111. Irene Dietrich, normally the fourth runner ran with a pulled rear muscle and also went over on her ankle early in the race. She ran the whole course in great pain. The team felt her loss and Fulop figures with her the team could have moved up to seventh. Sue Birmingham was 112th and Esther Van Oss 116th in well-run races. Tracey Ducharme, Irene Dietrich, Sandra Hullebusch and Angela Fleming were in the 100's. The senior girls' season was somewhat disappointing. Fulop laments the injuries that have plagued his run- ners. Top runner Colleen Regier gave her support from the sidelines with a pin in her leg from an automobile accident. However, with a lot of talent returning, South Huron will keep its standing as a strong cross-country team both in boys as well as girls competition. CHARGING UP -- Catherine Patterson (1388) of South Huron is shown during Saturday's all -Ontario high school cross country meet. •. f,"1 ing three converts.
