wp" Scugog Citizen -- Tuesday, November 21, 1994 --31 4 Panthers on the short end of this battle of the Ports Monday Nov. 14th was a long night for this particular fan, (and the players no doubt) when the Midget Panthers were pounced upon by the 'ready Redmen'. It didn't take long for Port Hope and not Port Perry to get on the scoreboard. Seconds later Daryl Bourgeois was trying his utmost to tie things up but a big goalie save saw Daryl's efforts fall short. Following suit, the line of lan Shrigley, Matt Hobbs and Jeremy Geer are passing the puck up to hopefully gain some ground, but again an ever alert goalie stops them cold. During this period, the two Port teams each lost a player and with an extra man in the box, the Panthers are once again battling a power play advantage to the Redmen. Naturally it doesn't take this able team long to capitalize on the situation and they net their second of the night. Nearing the end of the first, the relentless visitors further increase their lead to 3-0. Time for a wake up call...(and less penalties)... Well, I guess the coffee in the dressing room just wasn't strong enough for the Panthers, as the opposition tallied up yet another one and we're behind by 4. As the second period progresses, Scott Prechitko is being assailed by an onslaught of rubber but somehow manages to maintain his composure and Port Hope doesn't score anymore (in this perfod...). However, our visiting Bantam Shane Norton, finally puts the Panthers on the board with a clever wrap around surprising the Redman's astute goalie. Nice going Norty...still in the second and with a power play advantage, Jay King drills one right on target, but again a strong save foils his attempt. Next to take the bull by the horns is 'Shrig' who winds up to fire one in - but alas his blade breaks clean away...otherwise. Jeff Clarke, Jeremy Geer and the guys are once again killing some penalties - which they should be getting pretty good at by now. Unfortunately those rousers in red know their way in and find the spot to open up their lead to 5-1. Eventually another power play advantage for our battle weary Panthers arises. Hope springs eternal as Kenton LeFort, who gets crunched in the process, pulls us within three on a gutsy goal, assisted by Jay King. Despite the Panther's late rally, Port Hope remains persistent and it pays off in leaps and bounds as they finish off their big night with two more goals to end the game 7-2. Let's hope the tables will be turned at our next encounter with this well disciplined team from the other Port...
