12 THE NEW TANNER THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2006 Ducks swim to medals at Cindy Nicholas pool Acton Aqua Ducks Red group turned in a great performance at the Cin- dy Nicholas Swim Meet in Scarborough on the weekend. Coach Gerry Ockenden reports this was the first year they had to cut back on pool rental over Christmas. The swimmers were out of the water for a full two weeks, a long break for the kids not to train, Ockenden said. How- ever, there are two good reasons to keep swimming. I really enjoy coaching these kids, one they are from Acton, and two they never stop surprising me with how deep they can dig down to get their maximum effort no matter what pops up in their way. All the kids in the club are very proud of their town and the town should always be very proud of them, Ockenden says.

Blakelock 4-3 in the final game before exams last week. A shorthanded third period goal from Gabby Kosziwka, who had a hat trick, gave the Bearcats the win. Jody Howard opened the scoring for the Bearcats in the first period, but Blake- lock tied it up minutes later. Acton went ahead 2-1 with a goal from Kosziwka, but again Blakelock answered to tie it up. Kosziwka scored again to end the second pe- riod 3-2. In the third, Kosziwka found the net again to give Acton the lead and win. Both Amanda Schroeder and Kaitlyn Andrews had a pair of assists, and single helpers went to Kosziwka and Jocelyn Bell.
