High School Hockey Season Begins Clarke Earns First Win Over St. Stephen's, 7-2 by Brad Kelly There were a couple of interesting interesting sidebars to the high school hockey game between Clarke and St. Stephen's last Thursday. First of all, it was the first time the two schools met each other in the Lake- shore High School Hockey League. It is also the first , year of op- Skovsgaard C ration for the four-team league that includes includes St. Mary's and Port Hope. Secondly, was the score. It was lopsided, but not the way Clarke is used to. And lastly, St. Stephen's coach, Father Bill Moloney said one week previous to the game that, "the sky's the limit" for his club. Clarke won the game easily, easily, 7-2. It was the first time in quite a while that Clarke has been on the winning end of a league game. After a couple of seasons in the Kawartha league, they took their lumps. For St, Stephen's, die sky may still be the limit, Last week against Clarke, the clouds were just a little lower than usual, Whatever the circumstances, circumstances, the win was a good one for Clarke, as both the players and coach, John Skovsgaard, were savouring their first victory of the season. season. "Yea, there were a few comments on the bench to that effect," said Skovsgaard when reminded of how nice it was to be on the winning side of game for a change. "Their confidence grew as the game went on. As soon as they saw they could score and that they could win, they began to play to their potential. potential. "In the past, that has been a problem. Because they were getting beaten so badly in the past, they really didn't play as well as they were capable capable of." Brandon Ovenden was the offensive star for Clarke, as he scored a hat-trick. Two of his three goals came in the first period. Mike Noonan, Scan Stephenson, Stephenson, Jason Mercer, and Jeff Darrach had the other goals for Clarke. Jason Rogers Rogers chipped in with three assists, assists, while Adam Stephenson had a pair. For St. Stephen's, Daryl Houston and Wes Gonder collected a goal each, It was the second game of the season for St. Stephen's, who beat St. Mary's in their first game on October 17, 6- 4. Clarke jumped out to a quick advantage, leading 3-1 after the opening period. St, Stephen's cut the lead to 3-2 early in the second, but two goals late in the period and another pair in the third iced the game for Clarke. The slow start for St, Stephen's Stephen's cost them a chance at the win. "Maybe we were a little over-confident to start with," said coach Moloney. "We got behind and started to get frustrated. "We were outplayed. Clarke earned it, they outplayed outplayed us." The day had a tournament- style format, with each team in the league playing the other other three teams once. Another tournament day is scheduled for Cobourg in December. The tournament days are designed designed to help eliminate travel travel time for the schools, and enable them to conclude the 12-game season before Christmas. For Clarke, the win against St. Stephen's will provide them with a boost of confidence after playing larger larger schools in the Kawartha league the past couple of seasons. seasons. The scores of their previous previous contests resembled football games, with Clarke always on the receiving end. But, with the new league consisting of only 'A' sized schools, the hockey program at the school was given a shot of optimism. "As the season goes on and we get a few wins under, our belt and the guys sec we're playing against schools they arc able to compete against, you'll see a fine season season out of these fellas," predicted predicted Skovsgaard. In Clarke's other games of the day, they defeated St. Mary's 5-1, but dropped a 5- 3 decision to Port Hope. St, Stephen's rebounded from their loss to Clarke to beat St, Mary's and Port Hope in afternoon games, 6-3 and 7-5, respectively, The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, October 30,1991 9 MOBILE SERVICE DELIVERY OVER 40,000 SATISIFED CUSTOMERS ALL WORKMANSHIP GUARANTEED 19 Silver St. (Across from Canadian Tire) Bowmanville YOUTH BOWLING LEAGUE RESULTS Clarke H.S.

In those three games, the Toro atoms scored a total of 17 goals and allowed only six. Goaltcnder Greg Kocndcrman performed beautifully in the opening game to cam a shutout which boosted the confidence of his teammates.

The other two goals were scored by Jason Knox and Chris Pot with assists assists to Knox, Pot, Jason Lange, Danny MacDonald and Brett Pakosta.

Before the game had ended, a total of 30 minutes of penalties had been given (the majority going to Cleveland) and the Cleveland coach had been ejected. To the credit of coach Pat Lange, who remained calm and set an excellent excellent example for his team, the Toro players concentrated on the game of hockey and notched six goals.

That is, until they meet St. Mary's again. It's a meeting that St. Mary's won't be looking forward to. Clarke won in convincing fashion, 44-16, in a South Kawartha league game. The win improved their league record to 5-1. Their only loss has been to the undefeated undefeated team from Camp- bcllford. In defence of St. Mary's, they are a school without a gym. Practices are held at the local 'Y'. This definitely shows in their play. For Clarke, it was a game for fun, one that all of the players - including the substitutes substitutes -- were able to be a part of. "It's good everyone gets to play," said Clarke coach George Matsusaki. "In some of the games, when we play Campbellford for first place, the bench shortens down. "In a game like this, it's good for the kids who don't see the floor as much." But, just as good as the game can be for the morale and confidence of a team, it can also be detrimental. "It's hard to keep the intensity," intensity," said Matsusaki of the downside of such a lopsided lopsided win. "We were good for the first half, but the intensity intensity wasn't there." After the first quarter, Clarke didn't need to be very intense. In fact, after taking a 14-4 lead after the first quarter, quarter, if they didn't score another another basket the entire game they would have only lost by two points. Hard to take a game seriously seriously when it's pul in that perspective. Janice Rickard led the point parade for Clarke as she netted 13 points. Judy DeVries DeVries was close behind with 10, while Megan Davies had six. Just how dominant was Clarke? Well, after Liking a 10- point lead into the second quarter, St. Mary's scored only four seconds in to cut Clarke's lead to eight points. They didn't score again until there were 20 seconds left in the half. That's over seven minutes without a bas- kct. Clarke led at the half, 26- 8. In addition to being so dominant, Clarke was also very consistent, scoring nine points in both the third and fourth quarters. Defensively, they allowed St. Mary's to score only four points in each of the four quarters. No, it wasn't a pretty one to watch. "You don't want to run up the score against a team, but you don't want your team to get into bad habits cither," said Matsusaki. "You've got to keep them sharp. It's a different different type of coaching because because you have to worry about keeping your team sharp." A worry he would like the luxury of having more frequently. frequently. Janice Rickard (#32) of Clarke High School is closely guarded by two defenders defenders from St. Mary's during a South Kawartha senior girls' basketball game last Thursday. Clarice had no trouble in the game, running their league record to 5-1 with a convincing 44-16 win.
