"As you get into the later rounds (of the draft), you have to project ahead. We did that with two or three players...Nauss has the size (and) he has the skills, too." Another factor taken into consideration by the NHL club was that the Petes have tradi- tionally produced high-quality hockey play- ers, he said. An ironic footnote is that Oakville native Jeff Toms was drafted by the NHL after his OHL rookie year. Toms, a seventh-round choice of the New Jersey Devils last year, played for the Soo Greyhounds, who beat Nauss's Petes in the Memorial Cup final.

While the nighttime sky was being lit up down at the Oakville Waterfront Festival, the Oakville Longhorns were playing bombs away with Toronto Eagles in a Northern Football Conference game at Bronte Athletic Field. After playing their first four games of the season away from Bronte, the Longhorns returned home for a 45-7 rout of the second year-and second-place-Eagles. Oakville erupted for 23 second- quarter points, en route to its fourth straight win, following a season- opening 17-17 tie with Scarborough. Take away that first game and the 'Horns are averaging better than 35 points every time out. Mark Demerling, who had shared the quarterback spot with Jason Molnar through the first four games, had the signal calling to himself. He responded by complet- ing 13 of 17 throws for 209 yards, including a pair of touchdowns to Jamie Wooton--covering nine and 56 yards-and another to Gr g Mackan. ii", But the Longhorns also did it on the ground. They had, for them, an almost unheard total of 23 rushes for 137 yard and two TDs, sparked by a 60-yard burst by tailback Terrance Phipps. Steve Taylor added a one-yard plunge, after , 24-yard pass to rookie receiver Adam Mahaney, to make it 30-7 at the half. Wooten finished with fwe recei) tions and 95 yards. The latter was a 31-yard effort! that saw Mackan run the last l0 yards into the end zone with a pulled calf muscle. He did not return. l Oakville's final TD came on a 62-yard punt return by Mikki Millet early in the fourth quarter. A - . Miller also had two of three interceptions by the Oakville defence. j In addition, the defence recov-: ered two fumbles, while Steve' Saunders and Dwayne Scott teamed up to sack Toronto quarterback Dean McLaren in the end zone for a' second-quarter safety touch. i Eagles completed only nind passes on 22 attempts for 105 yards and added only 13 more on the ground. - Longhorns play Scarborough Saturday in a 7 pm. start at North York's Esther Shiner Stadium.
