O N T H E R I G H T T R A C K Longhorns competitive in season-opening loss Despite two touchdown passes from David Ferkul to Archelaus Jack, the Oakville Longhorns dropped their Northern Football Conference season opener Saturday in Cambridge, 22-18 to the host Tri-City Outlaws. Jack's three-yard TD reception pulled the Longhorns to within four points with 5:50 to play, but Oakville was unable to score the go-ahead major and obtain its first victory in more than two years. Jack also hauled in a five-yard scoring pass from Ferkul in the first quarter, tying the score 6-6. The Outlaws scored two touchdowns and a field goal in the second quarter, more than offsetting a two-yard touchdown run by Oakville's Kasean Davis Reynolds to carry a 22-12 lead into halftime. Ferkul completed 12 of 21 passes with the two majors and one interception. Jack caught seven passes for 86 yards, but Oakville's running game managed just 18 yards on 16 carries. David Gill led the Oakville defence with nine tackles. The Longhorns will visit the Sarnia Imperials this Saturday. Oakville's home opener will be June 13 at Bronte Athletic Field, a 6 p.m. kickoff against the Hamilton Steel City Patriots. Jr. B Buzz falls back below .500 A slow start derailed the Oakville Buzz's hopes of climbing above the .500 mark Sunday for the first time this Ontario Lacrosse Association junior B season. Oakville did not score until nearly five minutes into the second period, by which point the host Akwesasne Indians had built a 6-0 47 | Thursday, June 4, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Sports Briefs lead. The teams traded goals the rest of the way as Akwesasne prevailed 14-6. Adam Wolf, Eddie Renaud, Michael Dobko, Julian Guay, Brent Noseworthy and Keyan McQueen scored for the Buzz, which fell to 6-7. Bailey Brown took the loss in net, stopping 41 of the 55 shots he faced. The Buzz travels to Georgetown tonight (Thursday) for a meeting with the 11-1 Halton Hills Bulldogs. Sr. B Titans split weekend pair The Six Nations Rivermen scored five unanswered goals to pull away for an 8-3 win over the Oakville Titans Sunday in Ontario Lacrosse Association senior B play at Toronto Rock Athletic Centre. Gage Board scored for Oakville near the midpoint of the second period, cutting the Rivermen lead to 4-3, but Six Nations tallied the next five goals of the game. Eric Wales provided the other markers for the Titans, who had defeated the Owen Sound North Stars 8-6 the previous night in Owen Sound. Todd Kozak led the way for Oakville Saturday with a goal and four assists, and Reed Board scored two thirdperiod goals. Jordan Godin, Sean Gillies, Gage Board, Todd Bloxam and Wales also scored in support of winning netminder Ian Duffy.
