It all took place about a week anda half ago, at the same timeas the Midget Midget Provincials h Bowman- ville. It was Apr.l 11, when most of the pbyers packed and headed rnrth, with the exception of two, who went the wrong wa/ and ended up in Florida. When I sty the road was long, I'm nit kidding.

The Toros were forced to head out Thursday morning so they could make Friday morning practice in Kapuskasing.

The arena in Kapuskasing Kapuskasing was called The Sports Palace and I'm sure it will never be forgotten. 'Die teams in the single 'A' Division Division were Hearst, from the NOHA; East York, from the MTHL; New Liskeard, runner-up runner-up from the NOHA; and, of course, Bowmanville, representing representing the OMHA. Our OMHA team for the 'AA' division was Whitby. It was nice to know the boys weren't alone up there. Toros 7 East York 3 The first game was at 4:30 on Friday, April 12. Everyone was very excited because, for most, it was the first time they had played in the All-Ontario Provincial Championship finals. This was to be the very first game of the whole tournament. tournament. It seemed to take forever forever for the boys to hit the ice. They were to play East York, from the Metro Toronto Toronto Hockey League. Their opponents looked big and may have expected them to be the main threat in the 'A' Division. However, as the game progressed, we saw this to be untrue. Jason Jackman, from Luke Akey, scored only 48 seconds into the game.

The clock slowly ticked off the seconds and the crowd was absolutely a bundle bundle of nerves. They sat anxiously anxiously on the edge of their seats. At 9:29, Bowman- ville's Rob Harness took a cross-checking penalty that many fans thought was cheap. It was the first penalty penalty taken in the two overtime periods and we were all very worried that Hearst would score while Bowmanville was short-handed. The Toros sweated it out and eventually the puck was cleared. With only 14 seconds seconds left in Bowmanville's penalty, Peter Schoep skated skated past the Hearst defence and let go a beautiful wrist- shot.

The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, April 24,1991 7 Stealing Bases Didn't Steal Win for Redmen JtTZ Trevor Reinboldt, of Bowmanville High School, coasts into third base during the fifth inning of their home opener last Wednesday against St. Mary's at Soper Creek Park. It was a tough afternoon for the Redmen, who came up on the short end of an 11-6 score. and three singles later, they by Brad Kelly The "Bowmanville High School senior boys' baseball team must feel that time is on their side. Which would explain why it took them over an hour to get through the first two innings innings of their home opener against St. Mary's last Wednesday at Soper Creek Park. In the end, time ran out on the Redmen, in the form of a two hour curfew. And after five innings of play, Bowmanville found themselves themselves on the receiving end of an 11-6 loss. St. Mary's 11 Redmen 6 It was a new beginning to a season in more ways than one for returning head coach Doreen Ross. Her team is short on experience, as not one player from last year's team has returned. And, she feels, this - fact- may catch up with them down the road. "It will hurt a little bit when we meet a more experienced experienced team," she said, following following the loss. "Tne first three games are trials and a chance to get our feet wet and see what we've got. I'm hoping then that well get the basics down. Right now, we're making making mistakes that shouldn't be made." « It wasn't a promising beginning beginning to the game for Bowmanville starter Todd Flemming. St. Mary's were on him right from the opening opening pitch. And, three walks had built a five-run lead. But the Redmen came back in their half of the first and used five walks, a single by Andy Krummenacher and a double from Jack Bentley to push six runs across. Flemming again had troubles in the second, issuing issuing four walks and a single for five more St. Mary's runs. "I was thinking, oh please Todd settle in," recalled Ross, of her starting pitcher's pitcher's early troubles. "He was really nervous out there. You could see the way he was throwing when the game started wasn't the same way he was throwing in the warm up." Bentley relieved Flemming Flemming to start the third inning inning and did a masterful job, keeping St. Mary's from having any more big innings. innings. He was victimized by a couple of singles and a costly error for an unearned run in the fourth inning that increased increased the St. Mary's lead to 11-6. Bowmanville made a little little noise in their half of the fifth. Trevor Reinboldt was hit by à pitch and John Gal- liot;t (walked with one out, but both were left stranded at second and third. The comeback early in the game was an encouraging encouraging sign for the Redmen, but their Tack of experience may have got the better of them. It's something they will have to overcome as the season season progresses. "They should just play and try to relax and not question everything they do," said Ross of her team's apparent lack of confidence. "They question everything everything they do a little too much." The Redmen will entertain entertain Dunbarton at Soper Creek Park today.
