wp 16 ~ Scugog Cliizen -- Tuesday, February 25, 1992 CITIZEN SPORTS The Port Perry Malmont Farms Atoms won the Consolation medals in their home toumament Saturday at the Scugog Arena. But they kept their fans on the edge of the seats in the final game against Huntsville before salting things away on a goal by Seth Gray in the dying seconds of a sudden-win overtime period. Dillon Weber sent Gray in alone with just 6.8 secs on the clock and he didn't make any mis- take on the shot. Huntsville got on the board first in the Consolation early in the opening period, but the Malmont squad rallied in the sec- ond to pepper 16 shots on the opposition net while allowing just five on Cory Branton. And they scored a couple of goals in the process to take a 2-1 lead into the third It looked like that score might stand until Huntsville tied things at 2 with just over four minutes to play, setung the stage for OT and the nifty goal by Gray that gave them the win. Port Atoms opened the tourna- ment with a match against Stouffville and even though the shots on goal favoured Port 33-25, the final Stouffville. Adam Jones from Casey Vanschagen and Scott Jeffrey, and Seth Gray from Vanschagen and Troy Campbell did the scor- ing for Port in this one. The boys were disappointed with the loss that put them on the Consolation side and they came out with fire in their eyes in game two. The victim was Bowmanville and by the time the final buzzer sounded the Green Machine had romped to a 10-1 victory. Scott Jeffrey tallied three for Port and Dillon Weber scored a natural hat trick (three straight) but had to settle for a toque tossed onto the ice as hats were in short supply. Other marksmen in this gage were Seth gray, Brad Johnston, Derek Lindall and Danny Lyons. score was Daniel Lee got the call to, guard the iron and didn't have a real busy outing as his mates kept Bowmanville to just five shots on the net.

Playing on the road Feb. 18, the Eagles came up with a four- goal third period to give them the 6-4 victory. Coach-Doug Scott was more than pleased with the performance not just in that crucial game, but through the entire series with Cobourg. He praised the goal-tending tandem of Shawn Larocque (who was in nets for the three games in Cobourg) and Matt 'Willetts (Who was in for the two games in Port) In the game that clinched the series in Cobourg, the home town squad opened a 2-0 lead in the first before the Eagles Geravin Sytnyk collected a short-handed marker with an assist to Jody Logan. Jeff Parry tied the game in the second on the power play with Sytnyk and Shannon Todd getting the assists. But Cobourg took the lead once again on a goal with just three sec- onds left in the middle stanza. Cobourg went up 4-2 at the three minute mark of the third and things didn't look too promising for the But it was Shannon Todd who supplied the spark as he scored a short-handed marker at the mid-point. Less than a minute later, the game was tied at 4- 4 as Jason d on a set-up ow Todd and Pete King. The winner came off the stick off Todd with just oyer two min- utes left in regulation. King and Geravin drew the assists. Just for good measure (and the cement the victory andthe series) Jeff Parry t one into an empty Cobourg cage with just under a minute to play. Coach Scott said the Shannon Todd short-handed goal early in the final period was a real turning point for the club. It seemed to boost the spirits of the players and turned the momentum of the game around. This was a well-played game with just eight minor penalties to the Eagles and nine to Cobourg. In fact, aside from one ugly incident, Cornish the entire series was well-played. The two teams were very even- ly matched this season. Counting playoffs and tournaments, they collided 11 times and split those games with five wins each and one draw. The Midget Eagles next playoff opponents will be - either Collingwood or Midland who have played two games in a best of five set. Just when the series with Port will start isn't known at this time, but if the Collingwood- Midland series should go three straight, there is a chance that Port could be back in action this/com- ing weekend. curling team captures B championship The team from R.H. Cornish School captured the B champi- onship in the Ontario Elementary School Curling finals held over the weekend in Napanee. The team was skipped by Scott Peters and included Sara Hunter, Luke Martyn, Erin Smith, Jamie Irvine, and Ryan Edgar. After their first game Friday evening to Sutton, the team went the rest of the weekend without a loss. They defeated St. Cecelia, Pefferlaw and Deseronto to advance to the B championship against Parry Sound. This one went into extra ends and skip Peters had to draw to the house with his final rock for the victory. Needless to say, these young curlers were absolutely thrilled with the showing. Teacher Reg Philip was equal- ly as excited, calling the perfor- mance "just fantastic," and stat- ing that the team members "were great ambassadors" for the club, the school and the community. There were 32 teams entered in this bonspiel, which was host- cd last year by, Port Perry.
