SPORTS Raiders move into 1st place The Raiders have had their share of growing pains with an 0-4 record, but Al- lain feels the team, which draws players from across Canada, is starting to come to- gether. The former North Halton Crimson Tide standout relishes taking on a leadership role on the defence, but when the ball is snapped, his objective-- like Watt's-- is to pose a major disruption to the opposition's offence. "I used to play basketball, but I always wanted to hit things," he laughed. "So when I figured out I could do that le- gally in football, that immediately became my sport." The Canada Prep program was jolted a couple of weeks ago when 16-year-old wide receiver Darrian Seaton-Tucker col- lapsed on the field from a heart attack suf- fered just after a game in Princeton, N.J. Transferred to a hospital in Philadel- phia, Seaton-Tucker was in a coma for sev- eral days but is said to be improving. The #WakeUpST fundraiser on gofund- me.com to help offset the teen's medical costs exceeded its goal of $20,000 in just a few days "Thank God, it seems like he's going to be okay," said McArthur. "Now, he's in the process of being trans- ferred to Sick Children's Hospital in Toron- to. and we're praying for his recovery." This Friday, the Raiders travel to Lake- wood Ohio to take on St. Edward High School, which is reportedly ranked 28th in the U.S. A pair of weekend wins within their divi- sion has propelled the Georgetown Raiders into first place in the Ontario Junior Hockey League's West standings. Outshot 37-30 on the evening, the Raid- ers received standout goaltending from first star Andrew Masters in a 3-2 triumph over guest Buffalo Saturday to improve to 9-2- 1 on the season, three points ahead of the second-place Jr. Sabres in the West Division. The teams col- lided just three days after a meet- ing in Buffalo in which George- town's Kyle Allan was suspended 10 games for an end-of-game incident that also netted Raider head coach & GM Greg Wal- ters a three-game ban. Leading scorer Daniel Hardie, defender Matt Cairns and Arran MacDonald tallied for the hosts Saturday in front of 250 specta- tors. On Friday in Burlington, the Raiders ral- lied from a 4-3 deficit after 40 minutes to beat the 7-5-1 Cougars 6-4. Josh Dickinson (2), Hardie, Cairns, Bren- dan Jacome and Anthony Mota scored in the win as associate coach Andrew Martin han- dled the bench duties. Georgetown resident Ben Morris had two goals and an assist for the Cougars. Walters also added another local product to the roster as 6-foot-2, 185-pound defence- man Matt Mercer was acquired this week from the CCHL's Nepean Raiders. Mercer, 18, spent last season with the OHL's Ottawa 67's and had two assists with his new club over the weekend. The Raiders hosted the North York Rang- ers Wednesday night, followed by a trip to Pickering Friday and a visit from the Kings- ton Voyageurs Saturday evening with a 7:30 p.m. puck drop.
