ve AOE PI crienonall ioe PE 1A vasan ga 36 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, December 18, 1990 The Port Perry MoJacks got back on the winning track Sunday night at the Scugog Arena as they doubled first place Lakefield by a score of 8-4. It was a big win for the 'Jacks as they rebounded from a 6-2 loss Saturday night at the hands of the Little Britain Mer- chants. The MoJacks were fired up for the game against Lakefield as they jumped to a very fast 2-0 lead after just two minutes of the opening period. Warren Geer lit the light at the 50 second mark and John Lally made it 2-0 53 seconds lat- er. And they kept up the pres- sure the rest of the period with Rob Willetts and John Harman adding goals to give the team a 4-0 bulge after 20 minutes. But the Chiefs began to pick things up in the second. Af- ter Lally made it 5-0 with his second of the night, Bill Wasson tallied for Lakefield on a shot that seemed to deflect off a Port Perry player. And early in the third, the Chiefs started what looked like a rally as Mike Markwick and Wasson scored to make it 5-3. But defenseman Bill Law- renson restored a three -goal lead at 6:48 on just a superb in- dividual effort. He started a rush deep in his own zone, and finished it deep in the Chief zone as worked in close for a clear shot on net. Jim Vernon and Kevin Desrosiers drew assists on this play. Dan Maw with a good shot to the glove side and Jarrett Harman, also with a good shot rounded out the scoring for the MoJacks, while John Allen re- plied for Lakefield late in the game. Captain Brad Menzies chipped in with three assists, killed penalties and took a lot of important faceoffs. Lawrenson turned in an outstanding game for the Mo- Jacks. His goal gave the team a big lift at a crucial point in the match and he was tough on de- fense all evening. Dwayne Mackie went the distance for the MoJacks in the nets, facing 27 shots. He made his best save of the game in the middle period, snaring a point shot with the trapper that had "top corner" written all overit. On Saturday night in Little Britain, the Merchants went on the attack early as they opened up a 5-1lead. Todd Taylor and Jim Ver- non counted the Port Perry goals, both on the power play. For the Merchants, who have been playing fine hockey of late, Webster, Van Schaik, "Walling, Adams, Corneil and Roberts did the scoring.

Port ended the game with a 7-2 victory. 6-3 Loss Port opposed Port Hope for the final game of the weekend. Port the Central League this year is as tough and competitive as it has been in along time.
