"A Family Tradition for 127 Years" 7 Prd | Zr 00 rrr R Techstars make dramatic comeback in Port Dover On Saturday, our Bantams decided to use the first period as a practice session for their goal- ie, John Babcock, but John was up to almost everything that New Hamburg could shoot his way. At the end of the first, we were very fortunate to be down by only one goal. Our opponents went two up early in the second on a power play goal while Mike Heasman was finishing up time for rough- ing but 15 seconds later, Gavin Baxter decided enough was enough and took a pass from Matt Phillips and fired a back- hander home off the New Ham- burg goalie"s mask to close the gap within one. The oppositiorrregained their two-goal lead again with 4:36 remaining in the second while Matt Phillips sat in the penalty box. One minute later, Shane Norton tipped in a Phillips' slap The Sr. Rebels Basketball team has been getting ready for the rest of their season and this weekend's Port Perry Star Clas- sic, by playing in four tourna- ments. They have reached the Conso- lation Final in two and the Championship Final at Cour- tice before narrowly losing to Ajax 48-46. The team's record, against competition from across Ontario, is 9-9. They are 2-0 in league. Gary Norton, Jeremy Luke, Todd Smart and Paul Benton have played well at guard, while John Sanchez. Jeremy Port shot to bring Port within one. Early in the third, our oppo- nents went up by two goals while Matt Phillips was in the sin bin once again, sitting out a double minor. With 2:38 re- maining in the third, Matt Phil- lips took a pass from Mike Heasman and Shane Norton at centre and skated in on the op- ponent's net to bring the Tech- stars again to within one. Late in the third, with time running out, coach Jamieson pulled the goalie to go with the extra at- tacker and with five seconds left, Matt Baxter fed the puck to Matt Phillips who tied the game up with a wrap around goal to force overtime. Port completely dominated the overtime and finally won the game 5-4 when captain Todd Parry dug the puck out of the corner and fed it to Shane who put the game away and Hartin, and Kent Jamieson have been steady at forward. The Rebel's answer to the twin towers, under the basket, are Steven Parish and Chad Ven- ning.

The Port boys helped the Burford team by shooting in one of Burford's first three goals. At the end of the first period, Burford were out in front by four goals to zip. Coach Jamieson, to say the least, was not impressed. Bur- ford led 5-0 when Matt Baxter scored unassisted to narrow the gap to four. In the third period, Norton backhanded one past the opponent's goalie with as- sists going to Matt Blowe and Matt Phillips to make the score 6-2. Late in the third, Shane stick handled through the en- tire team to bring Port within three but Burford then fired one into Port's empty net. The final score Burford 7, Port 3.
