« oe TO Big C= Tad, FeSriary 8, 1093 Jumping for Joy! The students of R.H. Cornish were as happy as if they had just won an Olympic medal (see photo at right) when they handily whupped an ener- getic team of volleyball players from Durham Regional Police. But the guys in blue were good sports, and managed to come up with some smiles of their awn at thé end of it all. The Cornish players won 5-1, No wonder they're all grinning so much. Even the mascot has a smile! Wait could be long one for Port Perry MoJacks The Port Perry MoJacks are waiting, and the wait could be a long one. After dispatching the Lakefield Chiefs 6-3 Feb. 11 to sweep the best of seven series four straight, the team opted to take the second round "bye" and wait to play the winner of the Little Britain-Bowmanville series for the Central Junior C League Championship. MoJack General Manager Murray Parliament said there are a couple of reasons for the deci- sion to take the "bye." He said the team worked hard all season to finish in first and have the option to take this sec- ond round "bye" and advance to the League championship series. Also, the MoJacks have a cou- ple of players on the mend and the layoff will allow more time for the injuries to heal. Def Trevor N has 10-9 last week to win it in five games. And Little Britain dumped Uxbridge 6-1 to take that series in five games. In taking out the Lakefield Chiefs in four straight games, the Molacks were not pushed very hard. They hardly broke a sweat * on a bitterly cold February 11 in Lakefield as they won 6-3 to sweep the series. The Chiefs, playing in front of a small crowd opened the scoring with the game just 11 seconds old as Heath Sterling slid a puck under Marc Dekker in the MolJack cage. It was the first action for Dekker in three weeks and he appeared a tad rusty in the early 'going of this one. But he settled down as the game wore on and came up with some good saves. It didn't take MoJacks ve long to even the game 1 Brad Menzies snared a und been out with a broken hand, but should be ready for the next series and goaltender Marc * Dekker has been hampered by a bad back that is not yet 100 per cent. The Little Britain- Bowmanville semi final series could be a long one for a couple of reasons. It will likely go six or seven games and the series does not have to completed until March 1. So the MoJacks could be wait- ing better than two weeks. Mr. Parliament doesn't think this lengthy layoff will have too much of an adverse impact on the team. "We have plenty of practice time scheduled, The team will be doing plenty of skating and scrimmages," he said. In the quarter final series, Bowmanville defeated Cobourg in front and pumped a back-hand upstairs behind Mark Johnston. Peter Young gave MoJacks a short-lived lead at 9:21 on a back-hand that seemed to deflect off the goalies stick. Five min- utes later, Randy De Carlo evened the game at deuces. And in the final minute of the first, Clair Cornish banked one in off a skate to give MoJacks the lead again, But the Chiefs seemed deter- mined not to go down without a fight and early in the second cap- tain Jason MacCormack deflected a long shot past Dekker with the MoJacks playing two men short. The turning point was a four- minute span late in the second as Commish drilled a low bullet to the comer on a set-up from Menzies for what proved to be the game The goal that took the life out of the Chiefs was a strange one and came at 18:12. The puck seemed to deflect over the goalie's shoulder into his glove but ref John Cane ruled it had crossed the line and let it stand despite strong protests by the Chiefs, Kevin Bagshaw got credit for this one that gave MoJacks a 5-3 lead. Just 30 seconds later, Jeff Barr grabbed a loose puck and scored while the Molacks were short- handed to make it 6-3. > That's how it ended as the two teams waltzed their way through the final period. SLAPSHOTS: The key game in this series was the second in Lakefield in which MoJacks needed an empty netter to cement a 4-2 win. Had Chiefs won that one, the series could have taken on a different complexion. The series didn't have a great deal of intensity, but watch for the heat to go up considerably when MolJacks tackle either Little Britain or Bowmanville. That series got underway Saturday night in Little Britain with the Merchants winning 6-4 in overtime. The next night in Bowmanville, the Eagles opened a 4-0 lead, then had to hang on for a 6-5 victory to even the series at one game each. Game three is this Saturday i in Britain at 7:30 and game four Sunday in Bowmanville also at 7:30. Eagle forward Shane Armstrong is Central League MVP and he received the trophy Sunday night from convenor Andy McLachlan. por Curl 1 Sixth annual Ladies Open Bonsplel spon- od by Creative Basket was held at the Port Club Feb. 12 with a rink trom Club winning the trophy with 31 In two games, Wendy Webb, on behalf of Debbie Begg of Creative Basket presents tro- Creative Basket Bonspiel phy to skip Marie Greentree and her rink of Carol Hamilton, Eleanor and Therese points splel.
