"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Wednesday, October 16 1991 - 27 Heather McLean and Laura Phoenix are the Port Perry High Schoo! Rebels of the Week. The pair found out last week that organizing a sports event is quite a challenge. On Oct. 3 they and their committee hosted an elementary school cross country meet at the Scugog Soccer Fields. One hundred and forty-two athletes from S.A. Cawker, Sunderiand, H.W. Knight and Goodwood competed in 1000, 1500 and 2000 metre events. The athletes had a successful time and their coahes were pleased to have a lead up competition before the DEAA final meet this week. Both Heather and Laura compete in track and field at PPHS and are presently involved in co-operative education in physical education classes there. The phys. ed staff recognize their outstanding efforts in organizing this sports event. Con- gratulations on a job well done. MoJacks have perfect record after winning first three league matches By Al Bailey The season is still young and it's too early to make any predictions, but if the Mo- Jacks continue their winning ways, Port Perry hockey fans will have plenty to cheer about this year. Sunday night at home they notched their third regular season victory in as many games with a 5 to 4 win over the Uxbridge Bruins. And last Friday night in Lakefield, the ModJacks skated to a 5 to 3 de- cision over the Chiefs. These two conquests, along with a 7 to 6 overtime win over Little Britain Merchants a week ago Sunday in their season opener, gives the Mo- Jacks a perfect record so far and places them right up on top of the OHA Central Onta- rio Junior "C" standings. Not too shabby for a club that couldn't manage even one win in pre-season exhibition games. But there were some good reasons for that poor ear- ly showing. They were giving a lot of young players in train- ing camp an opportunity to make the team, and of course, now they have the services of Clair Cornish from the Oshawa Generals. It's fine for Cornish to ask to be treated like any other mem- ber of the team and not be sin- gled out for his play. That's the kind of humble young man he is. He doesn't want any spe- cial treatment. But he has to face the fact that he is to the MoJacks what Eric Lindros is to the Generals, or whichever National Hockey League team he ends up playing for. Clair Cornish was a very good journeyman hockey player in the major Junior "A" ranks. A little fish in a big pond, one might say. But at home he's a big fish in a little pond. Just look at what he's al- ready accomplished in three games. Scored two goals in the first fame against the Mer- chants and fed a perfect pass for the overtime winner. Had another goal in Lakefield Fri- day night and led the team Sunday with two more. Five goals in three games. Another reason the MoJacks find themselves in such a rosy position to date has been the exhuberant play of some of the youngsters on the squad. Kids like 16-year-old Gavin Co- chrane, a big lad who really is in his first year of midget and made the club as a defence- man. A tough row to hoe. And there's also Brett Puck- rin and Todd Taylor, members of last year's all-Ontario mid- get championship team from Turn to Page 28 Kevin Bagshaw two goals against Lakefield Country Style Bantams off to a flying start Port Perry Bantam A hockey team is off to a flying start in 1991-92 with four wins and a tiein their first five starts. The team is under new spon- sorship this year, sporting new sweaters courtesy of the gene- rosity of Country Style Donuts. There are also a couple of new faces joining some of the coach- ing veterans. Waren Geer and John Ennis are coaching assist- ants, fresh from the ranks of the MoJacks and Eagles respec- tively. Todd Wilbur returns as head honcho while Carol Wilbur and Hillis Wilbur are back as man- ager and trainer. The players will certainly have an enjoyable season working with this fine staff. Port opened play with an ex- hibition game against Stouff- ville. The Craig Laird, Jeremy Geer, Ian Shrigley line had an outstanding game as Laird scored twice, Shrigley once, and Geer picked up two assists lead- ing Country Style to a 3-1 score by the end of the second period. Matt Morris and Jason Phillips also had assists. The Clippers rallied with a pair of goals, then were called . for delay of game with :57 left. Jeremy Norton got the call to take the penalty shot and made no mistake, giving Port a 4-3 win. Game two was a league en- counter in Pickering, where a late 3-goal rally gave the home team a 3-3 tie. Scott Heasman had opened the scoring with a point blast on the power play, assisted by Jay Tredway and Sean Ellis in the first. Early in the third Ellis upped the lead to 2-0 from Tredway and Norton. Two minutes later Geer from Norton and Bour- geois tallied the last goal for Country Style. From there Pickering took over, finally ty- ing the game with :44 to play. Another exhibition game had Port defeating Oshawa Red Wings 5-2. The Laird, Geer, Shrigley line was strong again, each scoring once. Shrigley added two helpers and Geer one. Dave Bourgeois from Nor- ton and Jay King; and Jay Tred- way, from Ellis and Joe Broad- worth had the other goals for Country Style. Heasman and Ian McCready added assists. Port hosted Ajax in their sec- ond league match and the Ellis, Tredway, Broadworth line broke loose in this game. All three scored a pair each; Ellis added three assists, while Tre- day and Broadworth each had a single. Shrigley had the other goal in a 7-2 victory. McCready had three assists, Morris, Laird and King added one each. A visit to Stouffville resulted in another Country Style win, this one keyed by the King, Bourgeois, Chad Kearns line and outstanding goaltending from, James Paterson. Pater- son and Mike Pashley have giv- en solid support between the posts all season, but Paterson was brilliant while his skaters worked off their turkey. After falling behind 1-0 on a power play goal, Port came alive in the second taking a 3-1 lead. After the Clippers closed the gap to 3-2, Geer's hard work set up an insurance goal by King. Kearns had a pair to lead the way, Broadworth and Nor- ton also scored for a 5-2 win. Bourgeois had two assists; Mor- ris, Phillips, Ellis, Tredway and King counted one each. Country Style will get a stiff test Tuesday night when they travel to Cobourg to tangle with the always tough Cougars. Malmont Atoms start season on a winning note Port Perry's Atom "A" rep hockey team is once again sponsored by Malmont Farms and leading the team this sea- son is Coach Lee Wilbur, as- sisted by Derek Schmitt. The team played an exhibi- tion game on Oct 1 at home and despite not knowing their new team-mates well, they skated to an encouraging 3-2 victory on two goals by defence- man Casey VanSchagen, one of which was assisted by Troy Campbell. Malmont's third and win- ning goal was scored when first-year Atom Brad Johnston tapped in a rebound from Ca- sey and, despite a late goal by Oshawa, the victory was sealed tight. The Port Perry duo of Daniel Lee and Corey Branton played well between the pipes on some tough chances in a promising debut. Port "outsmarted" the visitors by taking three fewer penalties during the game. On Oct. 11 in Port Perry, the Malmont team opened their regular season schedule by hosting the Cobourg team. This was a thrilling back and forth contest that saw the lead see-saw right to the final min- ute of the game. The visitors opened the scor- ing and led 1-0 after one peri- od, but in the second period our lines started to click and we went ahead 2-1 after an unas- sisted goal by Dillan Weber and a beautiful break-away goal by Scott Jeffrey on a pass rom Chris Jones. Despite additional goals hb Adam Jones (from Scott Jef- frey) and Dillan Weber (from defenceman Scoti Harper), the Cobourg squad had earned a 5- 4 lead with only five minutes left in the game. At this point our team turned on their jets and mounted an exciting come- back, much to the delight of an Turn to Page 29
