On Sunday, the Port Perry Snowmobile Club will be staging its annual drag races on Kent's Bay just north of' Birdseye Centre.

Pacers lose to Markham, Stouffville Markham Midget A's scored twice in the final minute of play to come from behind and upset Port Perry Menzies Motors Pacers 7-6 Monday, January 12, in Scugog Arena hockey action. Port led 6-5 and held a power play advantage going into the last minute. Mark- ham beat goalie Clay Lovering while shorthanded and then duplicated the feai a split second before the game ending horn had echoed throughout the build- ing. Captain Todd Blayone, center Kevin Long, forward Jamie Lane and a controver- sial goal awarded to Darren McKenzie were among Pacer"s goal-getters. De- fenceman Keith Trembley took the original shot on the "Markham net but the marker was accredited to McKenzie.

The Pacers were sche- duled to compete in a two - day tournament January 24- 25 in Ernestown but have cancelled those plans. Earlier in the season they won a consolation champion- ship in the weekend meet at Bancroft, which the team enters annually. Port will undoubtedly tangle with arch rival Uxbridge in the OMHA's opening playoff round. The dates and details will be discussed at an OMHA meeting in Markham this Friday.

The team picked up its third and fourth consecu- tive wins last week with an 11-0 whipping of Pickering and a less impressive 9-6 win over Markham in a penalty filled affair. Both games were played at the Scugog Arena. Markham's Joe Gannon was thrown out of the game in the third period after incurring a five minute major for butt ending. He was the second visitor to be disqualified, following teammate Bill English to the penalty box. English was thrown out with 54 seconds left in the second period after a wrestling match with Jeff Johnstone in the Markham end. English incurred the extra minor penalty. The Markham coach was obviously upset with the officiating and when he voiced his opinion, he earned an additional two minute penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. But instead of stopping there, he carried on and was thrown out of the game, becoming the second of the three team members to make an early departure. Markham threatened to pack its bags and head for home at the end of the second period. They decided to stay, however. It might not have been the best decision team management ever made. They were tied 4-4 after two periods but Port outscored them 5-2 over the last 15 minutes to win the contest. Johnstone put Port Perry 1:50 into the last period when he tipped a shot from the point by defence- man Ray Meisner into the net. It was on a power play. Johnstone's high scoring line accounted for Port's sixth goal as well, also on a power play. Johnstone held the puck in the left wing corner, passed out to Howard Lee, who relayed to Steve Lee in the slot for the picturesque goal that expan- ded the lead to 6-4. Markham center Paul Noad teamed with left winger Darren Mattis to form the most potent duo against Port. Together they combined on the last three goals. Noad is a free-wheel- ing pivot, cut from the Jeff Johnstone mold. He narrow- ed the gap with just over ten minutes to play when poun- ced on a loose puck that goaltender Paul Bateman, who had a shakey game, dropped from a hard shot by Mattis. Steve Lee got the goal that proved to be the winner at 6:34 0n a fluke. He shot from deep in the left corner some- how it took a bounce in behind the Markham goal- tender. Vaughan McKee tipped it in front of the net. The last two goals were of the more conventional type, both coming on exciting plays. Howard Lee scored on a breakaway with an excellent deke and John- stone stepped out of the penalty box, stole the puck at center, and then flipped the puck into the top of the net on another breakaway. With two first period goals, McKee topped Port with three goals. Steve Lee and Darren Desautel got the other goals. Mattis fired in a pair for Markham. The Markham game was similar to the Pickering encounter. Both times Port finished with a third period flourish after two adequate frames. They scored six times in the final 15 minutes against a woeful Pickering team. Forward Dean Smith, recently recalled from the Bantam B's stole the show from the second year players like Johnstone and Steve Lee who have been a tear lately, by scoring two goals and assisting on two others. He played left wing on the line centered by Darren Desau- tel, who has also come along strongly over the past few weeks. Smith had been the most effective scorer for the B's but had missed two months with an injury. He was just getting back into shape when the call came from the big club. Second year left winger Kevin Fergusson also had a four point night. He assisted on the first three goals, two of them by Johnstone, and scored one of his own in the second period. The two goals Fergusson worked with Johnstone were identical textbook plays. Johnstone found himself alone in the slot on both occasions and Fergusson passed out from behind the net. The first goal opened the scoring 37 seconds after the opening face-off and the other came 57 seconds before the end of the first period. Sandwiched in between was a goal McKee scored on a blistering drive from the face off circle that gave the Pickering goaltender no time to react. Kingstone was hardly tested in gaining the shutout but he did receive help from Ian Dickson in the second period when Dickson broke up a rush after defenceman Mike McConnell misplayed the puck at the blue line. Dickson later scored a goal on a sharp angled shot from the right side. Fergusson opened the third period by scoring on the same play that he set up Johnstone on. 'This time, he was in front of the net, while Johnstone dug the puck out of the boards and centered it to him. Smith went to work, scoring twice in a row. At 4:21 he lifted a backhand into the net on a Desautel re- bound and 1:15 later he tipped in a shot by Meisner on the same shift. Port played the entire game with two lines and two defence pairs. Johnstone worked at pivot with Fergus- son and Desautel became the other middle man flanked by Smith. Brian Stevenson teamed with McConnell and McKee and Meisner who became the other blue line partners. The team was shorthanded due to Howard Lee's illness and Steve Lee's one game suspension as a result of his fight last week against Oshawa Black Hawks. The Lees' absence gave Port Perry coach Doug Scott an opportunity to look at Smith, who got an extra workload in the final period. ETT TTT TT TET with ...
