November 16, 1982 Sports If the Port Perry MoJacks were looking for a spark to get them going again, they may have found it November 9 in the old Bowmanville Arena. Forward Scott Wallace scored with just one second left on the clock to give MoJacks a 5-4 victory over the Eagles, a team which is always tough especially in their home arena. The game looked like it would end in a tie with six seconds left and a faceoff in the MoJack zone. This was a familiar sight Sunday night at the But Wallace with line- mates Jamie Bird and Bob Horton broke quickly away and got the goal to give MoJacks the victory. It was the second marker of the night for Wallace with Dave Alexander, Glen Mec- Kay and Horton rounding out the scoring. .

Congratula- tions Port Perry Bantams. y final evening, and when these three guys turn on the jets on the large Scugog Arena ice surface, they can move and score as well as any trio in the Junior C league. They combined for nice passing plays that led to a couple of goals and very easily could have had three or four more. Forward John Fusco turn- ed in a solid two-way game checking and killing penal- ties as well as turning the red light on with two goals. His first was a fine solo effort in the opening period as he dashed down the right side, cut to the front of the net and timed a shot perfectly to beat Bernard Crowley. -Todd Wilbur also looked like he's getting back to form . and his. goal at 6:11 of the third came as he lugged the puck down the boards, cut to his left in front and tucked home a backhand. Clay Lovering did not have an especially busy night in the nets facing just 28 shots (three in the final period). But he was very sharp early in the game when MoJacks were short-handed. He got a pad on a shot that looked like a sure goal with the score tied 0-0 at the time. He faced 25 of the 28 shots in the first and second periods. - # MolJacks grab two more victories Wallace and Jamie Bird was in high gear most of the Lakefield goals came from Wayne Hill with a pair, singles by Rob Gilders and Lyndon Crawford.

Against the Chiefs, Engberg, Jobb, Brown, Fisher and Rogers all had steady games with virtually no giveaways in their own end.
