Liberty Mutual Records Three League Victories Maybe it's time to take notice of some advice that Ye Editor passed along the other day. "Enroll in some of those karate classes," was his suggestion. And, in view of some of the things that have happened happened in the past month, he may be right. How's this for excitement: January 10 A brawl breaks out involving all 10 players on the ice during the fourth game of the playoff series between Bowman ville and Little Britain. As a substitute linesman, it was my first exposure exposure to junior hockey. After the length of time it took to complete the game, and the energy it took to restore order, that game was probably my first and last as an OHA official. official. That's probably the worst news that OMHA coaches in Bowman ville could receive. February 13 Three local officials, including myself, are called to Oshawa for a 'AA' midget playoff game between Oshawa and Brampton. Because it was a playoff game, neutral officials were needed, and I got assigned to be a linesman. Towards the end of the game, a Brampton player received a game misconduct and it was my responsibility responsibility to escort him off the ice. To say the least, he was not impressed with the ejection, and in more words than I'm allowed to print, expressed his displeasure to me. This was while he was still standing at his bench. To be sure that I understood how he felt, he cursed the entire way off the ice, and finished by threatening to meet the three of us officials out in the parking lot following the game. And I don't think it was for an. autograph session. session. When we left the arena, guess what was parked right outside the doors. You got it. The Brampton bus. February 19 There was the deciding game in an all-star series between a rep team from the United Counties and Scarborough. Both teams had won once, while another game had ended in a tie. The winner of this game would represent this area at the Ontario Winter Games in Barrie in March. The game was a tame affair. Only six minutes in penalties were called, and Scarborough emerged with a narrow 1-0 win. So what made this game special? Well, relevant or not, before I go any further I think it's worth noting that this was a girls' game. As I made my way down the steps on the way to the dressing room following the game, I was pulled by the elbow to the hallway where both teams were engaged in a brawl. February 19 Not more than an hour later, I was standing at the Recreation Complex watching the first game of the semi-finals between Bowman ville and Port Perry. Just when I thought I'd seen it all, a fight involving involving one of the MoJack coaches and some fans seated seated near the bench erupted. A few of the MoJack players arrived to help their coach, using their sticks in Reggie Jackson fashion to try and restore order. ' l v'Siti Not bad for the past month. f Thankfully, February has only 28 days. by Brad Kelly Clarke High School's longstanding tradition of volleyball excellence got a little longer last week. Playing-host to the Kaw- artha Senior 'A' finals last Wednesday, the senior girls' team destroyed St. Marys from Cobourg, 15-1, 15-4. With the win, the Raiders advanced to the COSSA Championships at North Addington Addington High School in Cloyne yesterday (Tuesday). The final certainly wasn't a situation in wmch the score didn't do the match any justice. In this instance, the scores were a perfect reflection reflection of how dominant the Raiders were over their counterparts from St. Marys. Marys. So dominant was Clarke, that they didn't show the least bit of excitement following following their win. It was just another win to them, or so it seemed. "This has been an excellent excellent season for us," said coach Kim Knight following the game. "We have dominated dominated all the 'A' teams, and are one of the top teams in South Kawartha regardless of the division." "If we had gone 'AA' we would have had a shot at winning the championship." The team sailed through the regular season without a real challenge, and captured three out of the four league tournaments. The most , difficult aspect of coaching a team like this for Knight wasn't developing their skills, but trying to keep them motivated. "It's hard to keep them motivated," she agreed. "We really have to work on individual individual skills...and set goals within the games." "All season long we were able to, unfortunately, get away with making mistakes and still win. But they are very self-motivated. They aren't satisfied with the win unless they play good volleyball." volleyball." In the upcoming COSSA Championships, a first place finish will advance the Raiders Raiders to OFSSA finals. Though hesitant to predict predict a victory, coach Knight does expect her team to.finish to.finish in the top two. "I think we can finish second. second. Realistically we can finish finish with the silver. On a good day, we could get the gold." The Junior 'A' South Kawartha finals were also held at Clarke, but two local schools didn't fare as well. St. Stephen's finished fourth, as they lost to St. Marys 15-13, 16-14 and Clarke 15-11, 15-8. They did manage a split with Camp- bellford, dropping the first, game 15-2, before winning 15-11. After their win over St. Stephen's, Clarke suffered losses to Campbellford 15-7, 15-9 and St. Marys 16-14 and 15-9. i l;ci ; j .-'1 19 : : 'V VV.:' .
