Raiders experience topsy turvy weekend Georgetown Raiders continue to pull surprises out of their helmets right down to the end of regular season play as they defeated league leading OakviUe Friday and then lost to last place Peterborough at home Saturday by the same score Raider coach Gary McFadyen said the scores seemed to be the wrong way around against their opponents but hard work against OakviUe made a difference We played a great game Everybody was doing their job With this win weve shown we can beat everyone in our league conceded that OakviUe having locked up of first place overall and a first round playoff bye before Friday game may have caused the home team to be a little less hungry for a win than usual I think the same thing might have been true for our game against Peterborough They were a team that didnt have a playoff berth and we couldnt go up in the standings with a win so the two points might not have meant as much to the team In OakviUe Friday Raiders trailed until Corey Ames was set up by John Williamson and Matt seconds after the home team had taken the lead on a goal At of the second Dan gave Raiders the lead for good when he took a pass from Bdl McDonald and Rob Doucette on the and put it past Marty Savoy put Raiders up when he scored an unassisted marker at 14 OakviUe came back with another shorthanded effort to draw within one before the end of the middle period McFadyen said the shorthand ed goals being scored against his team are something Raiders must avoid in the playoffs especially against Brampton Georgetown allowed three both OakviUe and Peterborough Theyre a team that loves to get in shootouts scoring nine or 10 goals We have trouble getting six or more so we really have to tighten up defensively and not play their game Ames opened up the third period in OakviUe with a goat from Williamson and Rudmcki at 2 OakviUe got their third shor goal midway through the period before Williamson scored at 19 into an empty net for a final In Saturdays loss Raiders out shot Peterborough but still lost 63 Ames had a hand in scor ing during this game getting an assist along with Charlie setting up Rob to draw to 2 the end of the opening period Down in the second Bill McDonald hooked up with Mike Wilson in the second period but two Peterborough goals kept Raiders back In the third Petes opened with a goal getting a powerplay marker as well Charlie Humber scored from John Ventresca and Scott Humber but it wasnt enough as Raiders lost Georgetown opened its playoff series in Brampton last night Tuesday but results

the post season with four straight victories over Fergus advancing to begin semi final play in Schomberg tomorrow Sabres which won Friday 12 Sunday and 7 Monday had lost their opening game on Feb However Acton coach Ken Steen said the team had taken Fergus for granted a mistake be vowed his boys wont make against Schomberg We finished 2 2 In regular season matches and are very close in our scoring with them They have bigger guys and the lowest goals against while we have the speed and can score more Id be very surprised if we didnt go the full seven games to decide it said his team also has a slight advantage in that there isnt much difference from the top line to the fourth If we play as a team we can get anybody out there that can be a scoring threat One of their goalies is injured so well need to take advantage of our chances since I expect these games to be decided by one or two goals Against Fergus there was no lack of scoring opportunities for Sabres particularly for Jeff Shevalier who scored once and assisted on three Sunday follow ing up with a goal and an assist on Monday Shevalier was recognized for his efforts this season when tbe MidOntano C league voted him as the leagues most valuable player last week This Is the second major award won by Shevalier who took rookie of the year honors last season said the award was a good indication of how well regarded Shevalier as well as the whole team is by the other or their opponents The MVP is voted on by each team and they cant pick one of their own players Jeff and the team are realty getting tbe recognition since weve become more competitive in the last two years In Sundays 123 victory Adam Hilts did the most damage net ting one and assisting on four other goals Mark Brommersma scored two and assisted on one Jamie also had a good night scoring once and assisting on three others According to Georgetown Raider Jr B coach Gary McFa both Shevalier and Curran would make welcome additions to his lineup which began their playoff series against Brampton yesterday Tuesday Steen said something could be worked out since Shevalier has played for Raiders In some regular season games this year He said tbe pair might be able to play Tuesday but not Thursday since Sabres play Schomberg that night Sabres play game two at home on Friday at and will play game four the following Fri day in Acton at the same
