| ~~. 24 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, March 1, 1988 Port Perry Star Sports MolJacks win first two in round robin series The Port Perry MoJacks are exactly where they want to be af- ter two games in the home and home round robin series against Lindsay and Lakefield. The team has chalked up two wins on the road and returns to the more amicable Scugog Arena this week for the last pair of games in this series. And the Mo- Jacks are in excellent shape to ad- vance to the next playoff series. The MoJacks got the series off to a great start February 23 when they defeated the Lakefield Chiefs 7-6 in the second overtime period as Rob Baker netted the winner. { Last Friday night in game two of the round robin, the Mo- Jacks were less than sharp, but they still managed to put a victo- ry into the books as they out- scored the Lindsay Muskies 8-6 in Lindsay. Although the MoJacks hit for the first goal in the opening min- ute of play by John Harman, the Muskies did some scoring of their ~ own and opened a 4-2 lead after 20 minutes. Harman scored his sec- ond of this period. The MoJacks got things go- ing in the second with four goals from Jeff McColl, Rob St. Jules, Thane Ellis and Kevin Long who got a short-handed marker. The Muskies added two of their own and the teams were deadlocked at 6-6 after forty min- utes of play. In the third period, the Mo- Jacks shut down the Muskie at- tack and it was Rob Baker who once more provided the scoring punch as he netted the winner at 11:49 with assists to McColl and Darren Nesbitt. And just for good measure, Baker took the heat off at 17:27 when he knocked in an insurance marker un-assisted. Baker had a big night for the MoJacks with his two important goals and he also picked up as- sists on the first three Port Perry markers for a five point evening. Ii was Baker who scored the win- ner in overtime against Lakefield. The Port Perry native who has size, strength and great speed, has been the scoring spark-plug for the team so far in the round- robin series. Linemates John Har- man had a pair of goals against Lindsay while Craig Menzies chipped in with a couple of as- sists. Jeff McColl also had two assists to 1go along with his goal in the second period. Brian Tarleton faced 34 shots in the MoJack net, while Bob Topper saw 28 in the cage for the Muskies. > TROPHIES "TROPHIES & | ENGRAVING Team Jackets & Uniforms Skate Sharpening Silk Screening done on Premises PINERIDGE SPORTS SHOP Queen Street - Port Perry PHONE 985-2839 8 2.1 cam -- It was a fairly clean game with the Muskies taking seven minors and the MoJacks taking eleven. Two of the Lindsay goals came on the power play, while thc MoJacks had one power play marker and one while short- handed. The Port Perry MoJacks got the round robin series off on to a great start on Feb. 23 when they nipped the Lakefield Chiefs 7-6 in sudden death overtime. The game was a see-saw affair right from the opening whistle as the teams battled for 60 minutes of regulation time with the lead changing hands several times. The game remained dead- locked at 6-6 through a ten min- ute overtimeperiod and then at the 1:57 mark of sudden death, for- ward Rob Baker took a pass from Kevin Long and rifled a shot past Chief netminder Jamie Delaney. It was perhaps poetic justice that Baker nailed the win for he came within a whisker of popping a goal in the dying seconds of reg- ulation time. The MoJacks took a 1-0 lead early in the first on a goal by Craig Menzies with help from John Harman, but the Chiefs got that one back when Kirby Trem- blay scored at the mid-point. Steve Ashby and then Men- zies with his second of the game did the scoring for the MoJacks in the middle frame, but Lakefield had a 4-3 lead after 40 minutes on goals by Chris Delaney, Scott Wainman and Tim McCormick. After Rob Metcalfe and Ash- by scored in the third period, the game was tied 5-5 when John Harman staked the MoJacks to 6- 5 lead midway through the period. The MoJacks seemed to be in control of the game at this point but were just not able to pad the lead. The Chiefs were enjoying a man advantage in the final minute when Chris Heffernan notched the equalizer which set the stage for the overtime period and Baker's dramatic game winner. The MolJacks enjoyed a fairly wide margin in play and out-shot the all-Ontario defending champs 39-28. They held the Chiefs to just five shots in the final period. It was 2 hard-hitting affair with the MoJacks taking seven minors and the Chiefs nine. Clay Dempsey and Jason Crawford picked up fighting majors in the second period. With two games left to play in the round-robin, the MoJacks are in a good position to advance, 'PORT PERRY WADO KAI Award winning Karate Club for all ages.

In the only other game played to date in this round-robin, the Chiefs hammered the Muskies 11- 2 Sunday night in Lakefield. The MoJacks will host the Chiefs this Wednesday night at the Scugog Arena with face off at 8:00 PM, and Sunday, March 6, the Muskies will be in town for - :he final game in the round robin. Faceoff is slated for 7:30 PM. If the MoJacks can defeat the Chiefs this Wednesday night, they will be assured of a berth. And likewise for a victory Sunday night over Lindsay. The Chiefs and Lindsay play once more on Friday night in Lindsay, and a victory in that one by the Chiefs will knock Lindsay from the round robin. Unless the Muskies can win their next two games, it appears as if the best of seven divisional final will feature the MoJacks and the Chiefs.

Check schedule for times of games A gold medal in the Durham-York Regional Playdowns would have given the Port Perry High School girls curling team a chance in the All-Ontario champion- ship, but despite a commendable effort, the girls came up with a bronze. Still, the team should be congratulated for a job well done, because a bronze medal is certainly nothing to be ashamed of. The hard-working team members include (left to right) Carrie Fielding, Tania Fielding, Lisa St. John, and Wendy Brown. See story for details. Curlers take the bronze A bronze medal is nothing to be ashamed of--just ask Canadian Olympic skier Karen Percy. However, the four girls who make up Port Perry High School's curling team were more than just a little disappointed with the bronze medal they received at last Wednesday's Durham-York Regional Playdowns, held in Ux- bridge. They were after the gold in this contest, and the opportunity to compete in the All-Ontario's com- ing up in Sudbu Port Perry Hig 'hasn't won the provincial championship since 1977, and with the talent evident in this year's team, coach Reg Philip was hoping for a crack at the trophy. The team, made up of skip Ta- nia Ficlding, Lisa St. John, Car- ric Ficlding and Wendy Brown, had won the gold medal in the LOSSA curling round held Friday February 19, after defeating O'Neill Collegiate 7-5 in a thrill- ing final game. Hopes were justifiably high on Wednesday, but the LOSSA champs couldn't quite muster up the gold, despite the enthusiastic support of several fans of the Port Perry Junior Curling Program. The girls lost to Sacred Heart High School of Newmarket in the first game, but rebounded to once again defeat O'Neill Collegiate of Oshawa. The win was enough' to capture a bronze medal, but the gold was The Port Perry Can. Tire Midget B's have advanced to the quarter-finals. The boys are in first place after a series of 12 games. Port had 8 wins, - 1 tie and 3 losses. Congratulations boys from coach Don Intine, Mgr. Doug Allen and Trainer Jim Jackman. reserved for Thornlea Secondary School. The silver was awarded to Sacred Heart. The girls were visibly disap- pointed with the results (only the gold medal winner continues on to Sudbury), but Mr. Philip is al- rcady looking forward to 1989. With only Lisa St. John gradu- ating from the curling program, he is confident Port Perry will be a strong contender in next year's competition. Midgets alive Friday, March 4 at 9:00 p.m. will be our first gaine against Thornberry. We then travel to Thornberry on Sunday March 6 for a game at 4:00 p.m. Many thanks to the fans who supported us through the last tough series. Hope to see you Fri- ay night.
