"A Family Tradition for 133 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, January 12, 1999 - 23 Every game counts as MoJacks' schedule win From page 21 Netminder Jeff Mackie was awarded an assist on Bonneveld's second tally, and when he wasn't busy setting up goals, he turned in a solid game turning aside the Chief sharp-shooters. There were just six minor penalties in this one, three to each team. On Friday night in Bobcaygeon, Mackie and back-up Ben Jillard had a busy evening between the irons as they faced 40 Bullet shots. And that kind of netminding was all MoJacks needed as they skated to a 5-3 win over the Bullets, who have proven troublesome to Port Perry this season. Five MoJacks did the scoring in this one as they jumped into a 2-0 lead after the first period. Metherall and Tom Chambers for the opening frame goals. It was a big goal for Chambers, as he returned to the line-up for the first time since he went out with a shoulder injury early in November. Darren Forbes and Jason Hansen provided the goals for the MoJacks in the middle period, which off-set two by the Bullets. And the teams traded goals in the third with Adam Jones getting the MoJack tally. Bonneveld was held without a goal by the Bullets, he kept his point spree going with a pair of assists. Coach Thornbury noted the play of Forbes, Matt Glen, Mackie and Metherel as an important factor in the victory. SLAPSHOTS: Coach Thornbury was more than pleased with the way the ModJacks performed against Lakefield, saying they "dominated the game." MoJacks will need more of the same effort and intensity this coming weekend as they take the show on the road Friday to meet league-leading Uxbridge (7:45 faceoff). And on Sunday, they are home to second place Lakefield at 7 p.m. It's pretty well a given that ModJacks need to con- tinue winning to keep their hopes alive for a playoff berth. They have seven games left in their schedule which ends Sunday, Jan. 31 against Uxbridge at the Scugog Arena. In those seven games, they play the Merchants twice and Georgina Ice twice. The outcome of these two "mini-series" will pretty well decide , the fate of the green and From page 21 Skerratt was on the road constantly, playing throughout Ontario, Quebec and down the American east coast. . Scouts from U.S. uni- versities are constantly out looking for exception- al players. Last summer when Skerratt's talents were spotted, he was offered a scholarship at Treasure Valley College in the U.S. "Blue Jays scout Greg Miner and Greg Hamilton of Baseball Canada helped me land the scholarship in Oregon," Skerratt said. "I've always had a dream of being a pro ball Port ball player off to U.S. through, then I've got my education to fall back on." After Skerratt com- pletes his two-years at Treasura.Valley, he hopes to transfer to a U.S. uni- versity with a four-year program. Like all aspiring ath- letes, Skerratt has his idols. His are listed in the Baseball Hall of Fame. "I really admire Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio," he said. "I've played hockey for several years too, but baseball is, and always will be, my first love," said Skerratt. "Not everyone gets a white for 1998-99. Congrats to captain Jeff Clarke for his per- formance in the all-star game at the Scugog Arena Saturday night. He was named the second place "player of the game" for the Central League Stars in their 6-2 win over the team from the Empire (Eastern) Jr. C Loop.

But Saturday night's tilt was anything but. There were plenty of big time hits in this one, some stick-work and more than a few scrums after the whistle. The result was a highly entertaining 60 minutes of hockey. The decent sized crowd at the Scugog Arena seemed to appreciate it, as they did the pre-game skills competition in which players from both leagues tested their indi- vidual talents at skating, shooting and netminding. MoJack reps were Clarke, Heasman, Bonneveld, Metherel and Dale Drummond who net- ted a goal. Jeff Mackie was one of three netmin- ders and played well in his 20 minutes of work. MoJack coaches Tom Thornbury, Scott Pinkerton and Sam Thornbury were behind the Central Stars bench. In other Central League action last week, ds down' Lakefield nipped Uxbridge 3-2 Friday night while Georgina and Little Britain skated to a 3-3 draw the same evening. After starting the sea- son like gang-busters, the Bruins have been in a bit of a slump lately. It's not enough to put their first place standing in any kind of serious trouble, and the MoJacks are hoping the Bruins are still struggling when the teams meet this Friday night in Uxbridge.
