ModJacks in the playoff hunt From Pago 19 Seth Gray missed most of the final stanza for his part in a dust-up at centre ice. "At this stage, we'll take two points any way we can get them," said Menzies after the game. Jeff Clarke, Rob Murphy, Mike Heasman, Matt Glen and Jason Bouwman all turned in strong games along the blue line. Bouwman made his presence felt late in the game with a crushing open ice body check that Last Tuesday night in Lakefield, the MoJacks spotted the sec- ond-place Chiefs a one-goal lead before roaring back to take a 4-1 lead in the 'third period and then were able to hang ~~ on for the 5-3 victory. Notching goals for the green and white were Simms, Glen, 'x Gray, Ryan Odete and Dale Drummond. Ma HOTS: MoJack captain Scott Heasman may be lost to the team for the rest of the season after suffering ligament damage to his knee in the December 29 loss to Little Britain. He was at the game Sunday, hobbling about on crutches IEE : Port is one" point out of third and four from the cellar and the prognosis is four to six weeks at least before he's able to play again. Defenseman Derek Crossman, a steady performer along the blue line, may be back this week after missing sev- eral games with a concussion. Tom Chambers missed Sunday's game due to school commitments, and Chris Phelps was out with strep throat. Coach Menzies will be glad to get Crossman, Phelps and Chambers back in uniform this week as the MoJacks tangle twice with Lakefield - on the road Tuesday night and at home Sunday evening. With three goals in his last two games, Rob Simms looks like he is breaking out of a long slump. He skated very well Sunday night and was playing with con- fidence. And coach Menzies almost always puts him out for crucial face-offs. He won the draw deep in the MoJack zone that set up his empty netter against the Bullets. Faceoff Sunday night at the Scugog Arena is 7p.m.when the Lakefield Chiefs are the visitors. And once again, this is a game of the utmost importance in the playoff chase for the MoJacks. From Page 19 In a very close game the Clippers were able to hand the Roosters the defeat as they picked up a 3-2 victory. The Roosters opened the scoring in this game as Mike Driscoll found the back of the net after being set up by Peter Lane and Dave Dickson. The Clippers answered back though as Richie LeFort netted his first of two goals in this game after he was set up by Brad Meekin and Colin Asselstine. The Roosters respond- ed to that goal by finding the net late in the second period to regain their lead with a goal from Jason Warner after receiving a pass from George Gladish but that would be the end of the Roosters offense as the Clippers would take over in therthird period. The tying goal came from Colin Asselstine as he was set up by Steve Dunn and Bruce Gracie. The winning goal for the Clippers came late in the third period as Richie LeFort tipped in a shot from the point for his sec- ond goal of the game with assists going to John Harman and Jamie Taylor to give the Clippers the victory.
