See story on page 24. By STEVE LeBLANC The Champion On a night when they should have stood head and shoulders above the competition, the Jr. B Mavericks ended up feeling about two inches taîl. Not so much from the final outcome at Georgetown's Alcott At-ena Sunday but because of the post-game tirade tbey endured from bead coach Jim Leworthy. Miltons 'bencb boss tore a strip off bis players for what be felt was a non-existent effort and an embar- rassing performance. Out-hustled througbout the last two periods, the Mavericks escaped town witb a 6-4 win over the mediocre Bulldogs, who were missing number one gun Peter Veltman. "We were a joke tonight,' sbouted Leworthy, fol- lowing a 15-minute screamn session behind closed doors. 'These guys migbt as well not even bave shown up." While the veteran skipper could have easily blamed a wistle-happy referee wbo killed any kind of momentum on the nigbt, be instead focused on bis teams lack of desire and discipline. Lewortby was especially critical of captain Andrew Hartbolt - usually the most composed Maverick - for taking fOve penalties and getting tossed early in the third wben the game was still up for grabs. The one brigbt spot on the nigbt, besides Milton improving to 5-1 and remaining atop the Ontario Lacrosse Associations West Conference, was the continued strong play of sophomore goaltender Kevin Eansor. The 17-year-old Oakville native tumned aside 27 shots wbile surrendering just one goal in the fit-st two periods before rookie Mike DeBoer got tome much needed wot-k in the third. I worked on my passing and stickhandling more over the winter and came into camp with a lot more confidence," said Eansor, wbo sports a 7.50 goals- against average (wbicb, for novice lacrosse fans, is quite impressive). 'The teami's doing better so far this year as well and "We were a joke tonight. These guys might as weII flot even have shown JIM LEWOSTY it's easier for me to play well when they're playing well.' Milton was highly ineffective on special teams play Sunday. They scored just once on a dozen powerplay opportunities and were beaten by a couple of short- handed goals. The first of these was potted by Bulldog sophomore Scott Young, who added two more in the third to throw a late scare into Milton. Shawn Thompson scored Georgetown's other goal while replacement tender Ken Larsen stood taîl over the final 40 minutes to keep the hometown boys witb- in striking distance. Leading the way for Milton with two goals and an assist was Cory Leigh. Hartholt, Graham Darling, Jimmy Leworthy Jr. and Darryl Brown chipped in sin- gles. Veteran defensive specialist Craig Hedley was involved in a car accident on the way to Sunday's game and was unable to compete. Luckily he suffered no serious injuries as a resuit of the crash. Maverick notes: Goalie Andrew Dowdell bas just one game left on a four-game suspension while Billy Byron is halfway througb an eight-game suspension that goes back to last season ... Hartholt and Leigh are both on six-game scoring streaks, with Leigb posting multi-goal outputs in every contest 50 far- ...
