A20 - The Canadien Champion, Tuesday, June 20, 2006 Marauders remain unbeaten with shutout win 1 I )efrnoe verfto Ix.cnLc on By Murray Townsend SPECIAL TO THE CHAMPION Thse Marauders arent doing it quite the way they did last season, but they're stili doing it - and that's what counts in tise standings. Now 2-0 after Saturdays 10-0 whitewash of the Quinte Limestone Panthers at Milton District High Scisool, Milton is one of only two teamns stili unheaten this year. Although tise scoreboard didn't show it, thse Marauders were a much-improved team on offense over their first week. They sustained some long drives, and if not for a slew ai dropped passes and three missed field goals, would certainly have scored a lot more points. On the first play of tise game, a scrambling Neil Balthazaar connected with Jamie Radway for a 43-yard strike ta, set One of the icague recesv- ing leaders - caught twa Mare passes in tise game for a total of 81 yards, and isas probably been tise teams offensive MVP thus far. Tise goale byJohn Dii a.2- il drive eJnd w'itha 2-ar h On Quintes first play from scrimmage, Iinebacker Sam Ratola made a diving interception af a Dan Kelly pass. Kelly who was tise Narthemn Football Conference leading passer gaing inta tise cantest, managed just four campletions and was picked off twice - tise second time hy Wayne Sliwinski. Miltans defense still hasn't allowed a point this season, and as if they weren't already strong enougis, were huayed by tise return ai defensive ends Kajo Millington and Steve Young, who each had a sack.

Tise drive ws marked by same impressive second and third efforts by their running backs. ion Nedeljkavic was sidelined with an injury but George Baiden stepped up in isis place with 92 yards on 13 camres, while T.j. Williams and Mike Long - who scored from 17 yards out - gained valuable resl estate as well ta bolster tise running game. Milton faced two dangeraus situations in tise faurtis quar- ter, reminiscent af same previaus nightmares. A fake punit, which looked similar to tise one that contributed ta its dlown- faîl in last years championship game against Tri-City wauld have given tise Panthers a first down, except that jimmy Harper tracked tise punter and brought him down. Alsa, a hlocked field goal attempt late in tise game - similar ta tise anc which almost allowed tise Toronto Maddags ta tie lsst week - mîght have gone for a touchdown if tise Quinte player had picked it Up and ran with it instead ai falling on lit. Quarterhack Balthazaar - glad not ta have ta cantend with tise wind this past week - sees progress with tise offense after a good week of practice. "Its early and we're still shaking out tise bugs. We had a lot ai yardage, but we have ta finish. This is one ai tise best offences I've ever played on - very high-pawered." Balthazaar, who played at tise University of Guelphs last season, said tise olfence wiIl came around, and also noted tise improved play of tise offensive line. Coachs Barry Emo said tise team is still relying an tise defence too mach, but was pleased with tise progress on offense, and is convinced tise points will camne. He said, "We're like a 50-goal scarer who has been in a slump. Once we break out, its gaing ta be good." Tise Marauders are in Sault Ste. Manie Saturday.
