Raiders handed overtime defeat Continued from pg. 1 On a delayed Georgetown penalty 2:27 into extra time, an unchecked Steve Natywary slapped in a pass from behind the net to end the contest and the Chargers' six-game losing streak. A usual basement-dweller in the standings, Mississauga's struggles got worse last week when leading scorer Bruce Crawford walked out on the club. That opened up more ice time for an eager Heelis, who underwent a major growth spurt since attending the Raiders' rookie camp back in May, putting on 25 pounds and three-and-a-half inches in height. He felt that signing with Mississauga would give him a better chance to develop. "I went into the Petes' rookie camp in top shape and then I broke my wrist in our last exhibition game," said the Grade 11 Christ the King student. "I thought I had a great camp with four goals and two assists in three games, so I was really surprised that I got cut. Thankfully my wrist wasn't that bad and I only missed a couple of weeks." Heelis has five goals and four assists in 11 games for Mississauga and has set a goal of making Peterborough next season. The Raiders, meanwhile, travel to Burlington Friday night to take on the Cougars, then host the Oakville Blades Saturday at the Alcott Arena beginning at 7:30 p.m. It's mine, no mine! John MacDonald (12) and teammate Jamie Dowell of tournament host Stewarttown Middle School hold off an opponent's attack during the annual Stinger Invitational on Saturday at Georgetown District High School. Twelve teams were entered in each of the girls' and boys' divisions. Stewarttown's Grade 8 girls didn't lose a game throughout the tourney and defeated Oakville's E.J. James 25-19 in the final match after edging past Brookville 26-24 in the semi-finals. Rolling Meadows of Burlington was the champion on the boys' side. The Stingers are preparing for the Provincial Cup Nov. 10-11 in Oakville and also recently completed work on new beach volleyball courts at their school.
