Leafs‘ Dave Andreychuk (Hamilton) and Bob Rouse (Vancouver) were former lacrosse whizzes. So too, incidentally, were current NHL stars such as Adam Oates, Brendan Shanahan and Joe Nieuwendyk). STRIKERS READY And Burlington Chiefs will be stressing the link when they meet Toronto Beaches in an Ontario Lacrosse Association Jr. A game, Sunday (7 p.m.) at Oakville Arena. Hockey and lacrosse are very much related, as players of either sport will tell you. CHIEFS HERE Action gets underway at 8:30 ARM "I‘m going to tighten things down a bit. I had been giving the players a fair amount of leeway because of the maturity level. But I found it "I feel we should have won it," said Molnar after the club ended its second week of training camp at Lord Elgin High School in Burlington. "We have to learn to play as a team. We have a really strong crop of athletes but I don‘t think we played as well as we could have. One doesn‘t need to remind Molnar of the Spartans‘ superior execution and discipline in a 31â€"7 victory. So, as he enters year two with the team, he‘s bent on addressing those trouble areas. For Oakville Longhorns head coach Tony Molnar, the memories of last year‘s loss to Sudbury in the Northern Football Conference championship game are as fresh as if it happened yesterday. The Longhorns are happy campers There was no shortage of action at the Halton high school track and field champiâ€" onships, Tuesday at Nelson Stadium in Burlington. Above Amy Doherty takes a flyer. Right, Steve Bryant (Loyola) and Queen Elizabeth Park‘s John Barnettte battle in the sprmts Champmnslups conâ€" tinue today (Friday). > Photos by Peter McCusker "We just let them play within their personaliâ€" ties and work the offence," said Molnar. Offensively, the Longhorns shouldn‘t have trouble putting points on the board with signalâ€" callers Mark Demerling and Jason Molnar aboard. Both saw considerable playing time last year, each bringing an entirely different style, which threw off opposing defences. "I‘ve done selective recruiting," Molnar explained. "In my first year I took a look around and encouraged everyone to attend." About 90 players are in campâ€"â€"down considerâ€" ably from the 125 that reported last year. Molnar says he was a little more choosy with his invitaâ€" tions this time around because he knows exactly what he needs. doesn‘t matter because the discipline has to be there." Day two of the Haltons go today (Friday) at Nelson Stadium, with Georgetown leading the team competition with 203 points, followed by Burlington Central (146) and White Oaks (116). Top six in each event advance to the Golden Horseshoe Athletic Conference championships, Thursday in Hamilton. "I just like to do a lot of sports," said Reid, who will also take part in the 4 x100m midget relay today. The remarkable thing is that in sport in which she competes, she sucâ€" ceeds. For instance, in her one and only year in diving, she made it to the Canadian championships and finished second in the threeâ€"metre board. At day one of the Halton high school track and field championships at Burlington‘s Nelson Stadium Tuesday, Reid was the lone local athlete to earn two gold medals. She captured the midget girls high jump with a height of 1.6 metres and shot put with a toss of 8.72m. She also finished second in midget girls discus with a distance of 23.47m. First it was competitive gymnastics with the Oakville Antoinettes for eight seasons. Then it was competitive diving with the Gatquatics in Burlington. Next was public elementary basketball and volleyball at W.H. Morden. And now track and field. BURLINGTON â€" Move over Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders: Here comes Elizabeth Reid. Messrs. Jackson and Sanders are famous twoâ€"sport wonders. But on a smaller scale, the 15â€"yearâ€"old Blakelock student can be considered a woman for all seasons. By TOM MICHIBATA Oakville Beaver staff recruiting," Molnar ar I took a look around to attend." horns shouldn‘t have the board with signalâ€" g and Jason Molnar rable playing time last ntirely different style, defences. within their personaliâ€" ‘ said Molnar. Veterans Jamie Woottonâ€"â€"last year‘s NFC MVPâ€"â€"and Mike Turnbull anchor the outside receiver spots. The inside positions are a little more questionable. The offensive line shouldn‘t be of too much concern as solid vets Rick Milne, Wade Holman, Chris Nunn and Bill McMahon are back. On the defensive line veterans Marcel Sterk and Karl Kustor will likely be joined by rookie Dwayne Scott and Terry Luke. Ken Arp, Al Zachariah (converted from the defensive line) and Brett Fitzpatrick head the linebacking corps. â€"â€"TOM MICHIBATA DOUBLE DUTY Twoâ€"sport Reid stars for Blakelock In the backfield, Craig Mitchell and Steve Taylor return at fullback. Newcomer Mark McLeod, an NFC allâ€"star with North Bay last year, heads up the halfback spot. Garland Drummond, Howard Betty and Terrence Phillips are other strong candidates.
