By ROBERT RISK Herald Sports Editor Acton Sabres won two of their three weekend games but still remain in third place behind Schomberg which defeated Sabres Thursday Coach Ken Steen said he t sure how Schomberg did in its other weekend games but after the defeat Acton stood five points back Since we won our other two games we should still be in good shape It too bad we lost to Schomberg though Two mistakes cost us a couple of goals and it might have turned out dif that night Acton sniper Jeff Shevalier continued to find the net scoring two goals against Schomberg followed by Jamie Curran with one and Craig Kerfoot with the other Friday game at home mark ed the return of Craig Cullen to the Sabre scoring sheet Cullen signed Wednesday was the Adam Hilts highest leading scorer for Sabres when he left the team to play Jr A hockey in Western Canada last year He is one of the main people hopes will help the team in the playoffs He definitely can score goals for us When he left the team last year he had goals and IB assists after Just 19 games Sabre president Mitch La echoed the sentiments of Steen emphasizing that more scoring is needed in order to match the offensive output of league leading Orangeville Crushers which Acton hosts Saturday We have to beat Orangeville to show our guys that we can take the championship Since we haven t beat them yet this season and we re trying to get ahead of this game coming up is important Lajeunesse said one thing that is puzzling him is the absence of spectators when the team is do ing so well recently Its really too bad seeing less than people in the stands This is the best team Acton has had in quite a few years and the players t getting much support at home I see more people wat ching when the Novice team plays At home Friday Sabres defeated Goderich 5 highlighted by an extra effort from Adam Hilts who scored while the Sabres had two men in the penalty box Also scoring for Sabres were Kerfoot Shevalier Jim English Paul Larsen and Jesse Naden Sunday game against featured shutout from Greg Powell who Steen credited with sparking a performance from his scor ing lines He really kept the door closed on them in the first period After that we just seemed to take over the momentum of the game had another good night earning a hat trick while English Hilts Phil and Jason Lucas each had one goal Also contributing to the effort was Jason Sawyer who was the last import player to be signed by the team Greg Powell Weekend scoring assault subdues Raider defence By ROBERT RISK Herald Sports Editor How Georgetown Raiders can defeat first place Milton one week and then lose 11 the next is something coach Gary dyen is trying to figure out the question They Milton and Oakvtlle which won 110 Saturday were both really flying out there You can see why they re two of the top teams in the league Mcf adyen said the first period with Milton was close and could have been if the puck had bounced Raiders way a few times Though the team was missing a few players due to injuries Scott knee Pierre James strained ligaments Grant Dexter shoulder the coach said that wasn t really an excuse for how the team performed Gary The intensity of play and the work effort just t there I thought we were terrible defen sively as a team A few guys were out but in the crunch you have to be able to tighten up about two lines Raider two newest tions netmlnder Jason Sirota and forward Corey Ames played against Milton with Ames not ching the first of his teams two goals Rob had a good outing assisting on Ames and scoring the second goal McFadyen said both played well stopping shots during Saturday s game but get much help in their own zone from either the defencemen or forwards There are a few players who really worked out there John Williamson played very well this weekend just as he s done for most of the season Even when we were down by several goals he gave per cent McFadyen said Raiders will be looking at a few more potential additions to the team at their practices this week as they look to fill their two remaining cards Raiders play Burlington on the road Friday returning home to play Streetsville Saturday
