By STEVE LeBLANC Special ta The Champion Milton's AA juveniles ran their win sireak to ibree garges ai Memonial Arena Saiurday. But the only similariiy beiween this laiesi tri- umph and the lwo ihat preceded il was the viciory ilseif. The lwo hefore came on the road, and boih were of the lopsided varieiy. Saîurday, however, drama upsîaged dominance - as the local team eclipsed Peneiag 5-4. Neiminder Josh Amnold weaihered a laie storm - Iumning back a handful of shots within the final minute-and-a-half, two by way of ierril'ic 10e blocks - to preserve the win, while sharing in the beroics with goal number tive was captain Steve SzaI'er, His game-winning marker was delivered with under seven minutes remsining, when his long- range wrister caught the edge of the right post and ricocheted in. Assisting on the play were Kaegan Shemrff and Derek Mewhinney - who assumed a slaring role on the night with îwo goals and a pair of assisis. Meanwhile, Marco LaBello and Ricky McAneney also dented the twine. Drawing a cou- ple of helpers each were gritty spark plugs Sherriff and Jordan Jeans. Sirong start The Winterhawks laid the ground work for another blowout viciory through the opening haîf, but squandered a 3-0 lead and had 10 rely on a laie surge and solid goalîending 10 ftnally prevail. Overaîl, Arnold made two dozen saves - and was particularly sharp when challenged downsîairs - en rouie 10 his third win of the season. Chad Merriti and Corey Leigh provided solid defensive assistance ihroughouî the evening clash - which was somewhat marred down the stretch by a few minor skirmishes and a whisîle-happy referee. Football is more like a war, really The last lime 1 was on a football field as a non-reporter was about 10 years ago ai Rich Stadium afler a game in which the Buffalo Bills had clinched a playoti spot. 1 think we might have started the tailgale party a fitnie early that day because some of my friends liîerally felI onto the fteld, along with thousands of others. 1, of course, jus( followed along 10 make sure I didn't lose my ride. I remember a number of' things about thal day. The first was that il was so cold. I eau stl leel il. The second was one of my buddies try- ing to climb up ibis icy bilI so we could get 10 the parking loi.

Quite a ibrilI, 100, tbank you very much. Hi Mom! The tbing is I can only imagine wbat il's like îo score a iouchdown for real. 1 believe that oui ot ail the different types of sconing in sports that a îouchdown is the mosi spe- cial. Part of ihat reason is ihai football is 50 mucb different than other sports. Most sports are games, wbich is the way il should be, but football is more like a war. île complexities of preparing for ibat one baille per week are far greater than any another sport can even approaeh. And the level of physical punishmenî 10 tbemselves and tbeir opponienîs is off the scale. Thai's not 10, say thai football players are more athletically talented than those who play other sports because tbat's like com- paring basebalîs and hockey pucks. And that's not 10 say that other sports don't sub- jeci lbemselves 10 a great deal of disci- pline, physical hardships, and mental fatigue. Football is different, and so are ils play- ers. There's the quarterback, for one thing, who pîsys the coolest position in any sport and is the one most responsible for his team's success or failure, or ai leasti s per- ceived 10 be. Quarterbacks tend 10 be cool guys who have an air of cockiness about them. You could argue that most every boy in Canada and the United States grew up fantasizing about being the quarterback on bis high school football team. Then there's the running back, wbicb tends 10 be a determined individual wbo will stop ai notbing 10, gel 10 bis goal. The other offensive glamour position is the receiver, wbo is somewbere between the quarterback and running back in altitude, oflen wiîb a litîle flakiness tbrown in for some reason. In hockey, getting a goal isn't uncom- mon; in basketball, points are scored fre- quently; and scoring a single mun in base- hall isn't too difficuli a task. Soccer goals aren't common, but in ail four of those sports the play goes back and forth and almost any member of the teams In football. teams gel on the battlefield and liîerally bave 10 marcb up the fteld in order 10 gel their score. Tbey're tigbting f or territory, one yard ai a lime. Everbody on the fteld bas a stake in making sure that marcb doesn't faller so tbey can reacb their goal. When a touchdown is ftnally scored, il's a payoff for ail the physical indignities each member of the team bas had 10 endure, aIl the planning, aIl the pain sud suffering. They've won the baille within the war. Il's the triumph of good over evil. Wheîher il's a runniug back or receiver or quarierback who scores and gels the actual glory, in reality they're jusi the flag bearer for the resi of the team. Mind you, they also gel bragging rights. Recently, on the same day, Greg van Es of Milton District and One] Martino of Bisbop Reding eacb scored ibree toucb- downs. I eau AI Bundy witb the worst of them. I once scored six goals in a hockey game, bit a hall over the fence for a home mun, slam- dunked a baskeîball (off a trampoline) sud even managed 10 score a goal in practice one lime wben I played on a kid's soccer team (one kid scored every single goal dur- ing games). And once, I tbrew a perfect spiral tbrougb a tire in a national media promo- tion event 10 give my îeam the win sud the money for the charities of our choice. But, t neyer scored a ioucbdown. t wisb t bad scored a toucbdown. Sée Toda> s Champion for our Mdlestones" section.

Despite a couple of mental breakdowns, the hosis were the more impressive of the two teams - winning the majority of the one-on-one bailes and showing stronger on puck possession as well as faceoffs.
