Submitted photo Raiders closing in on first place Despite a home loss to the Burlington Cou- gars, the Georgetown Raiders earned five of a possible six points in Ontario Junior Hockey League action on the weekend. Leading scorer Jack Jacome's goal in 3-on- 3 overtime gave the 27-11-3-1 Raiders a 4-3 victory over the host Toronto Jr. Canadiens Sunday evening to cap off the frantic week- end of play. Newcomer Ryan Takamatsu notched a pair of power-play markers for Georgetown and Jordan Crocker had the other in the win, with An- drew Masters making 44 saves. The Raiders began the weekend Friday with a 5-1 trouncing over the Royals in Markham, led by Brendan Jacome's two-goal effort. Matthew Thom, Anthony Mota and Ar- ran MacDonald rounded out the scoring and defender Zack Dybowski added three assists. Billy Day collected the W in goal with 36 stops. The 18-year-old Takamatsu, picked up in a trade with North York just prior to last week's roster-cutdown date, and Mota tallied in the 3-2 overtime loss Saturday against guest Bur- lington. Georgetown is one point behind the Buf- falo Jr. Sabres for top spot in the league's Southwest Conference with two games in hand and a dozen dates remaining in the reg- ular-season schedule.
