And Kings won't let up The Penetanguishene Kings are taking the Georgian Bay Junior C Hockey League playoffs one period at a time, says coach Ron Mar- childon. The coach says that the most dangerous thing that can happen to his -- or any other club, for that matter -- is to look even one game ahead and let the present catch walk away from in front of you. The Kings punched the lights out of the Gravenhurst Indians 11- 3 Tuesday night in Penetanguishene in the first game of their best- of-five quarter-final series, and played the second game last night in Gravenhurst. (They'll be at it again tO) ner een: t in Penetanguishene, game time 8:30 p.m.) But even with Tuesday's mugging -- in which the Kings led 3-0 and 8-0 at the first two intermissions -- Mar- childon says '"'we cer- Stingers removed VEAL PM BOD BPMD: Jim Greenfield of the Commodores puts one up past a King City Stingers opponent in Simcoe County Mens' Intermediate Basketball League playoff action this week at Midland Secondary School. Wednesday, the Commodores put away the host Stingers by 20 points to take the best-of- three semi-final series two straight. Dave Dubois led the Midland squad's effort with 15 points and Jeff Attwood netted 14. The club will now enter a best-of-five SCMIBL championship series against either the Barrie Brookdale Stars or the Stayner Mistics -- who were still fighting it out last night. First game of the championship tussle is slated for Monday night, 9 p.m., at Midland Secondary School. tainly don't want any kind of a downfall, we want to keep going." The coach said his club will be taking things one period at a time. "We sit down between periods and concentrate on each period as it comes. If we can win the periods, we obvously win the game."' The Kings let one of their final league games slip out from under them: what should have been an easy win over last-place Oro turned into a 10-7 loss, and it was a lesson which may have cost them the league championship. They wound up in a first-place tie with the Bracebridge Bears, but lost the advantage of the top playoff spot because of a worse seasonal win- loss record against the Bears. Gravenhurst, armed with only .11 skaters Tuesday, didn't help their cause by picking up an abundance of cheap penalties. Marchildon expected more of the same in last night's and tonight's games. "They're only ef- fective when they run at people," he = said. "Outside of (Ted) Lahay and their goaltender, they really haven't got it." Lahay scored twice for the Indians, and Don Wilson added the other. Brian Norwood led the Penetanguishene _ sh- ooters with three goals, Doug Gillespie and Dave Robillard added a pair apiece, and singles came from. Brian McReynolds, Carl Cowan, Greg St. Amant and Doug Kirton. Kevin Steele guarded the Kings net, facing 25 shots while his team- mates fired 54 at the other end. If a fourth game in the series is necessary, it'll go Sunday in Gravenhurst. A fifth game, if necessary, will be played Monday at 8:15 p.m. in Penetanguishene. In the other best-of- five quarter-final opener, the Haliburton Huskies upset the Parry Sound Shamrocks 7-6 in overtime. Winner of that series plays the Kings, and the Penetanguishene squad hopes it's Parry Sound. To play Haliburton, the most distant of all clubs in the eight-team loop, will cost the Kings upward of $350 a trip for a minimum of one trip in a best-of-five series. In the other series, a best-of-seven issue with the winner receiving a bye into the finals, Bracebridge came up with a narrow 8-7 decision over Huntsville in the opener in Bracebridge. Shooting Stars A member of Olympia Sports winds up for a shot while a North Stars opponent reaches out to try to stop him during Midland Recreational Hockey League playoff action Monday at Midland Arena. The North Stars managed a 3-3 tie with league Garry powerhouse Olympia, * Sports editor * Forbes making it three points to one in favour of Olympia after two games of their best six-point series. Third games of both MRHL semi-final series' go Monday beginning at 8 p.m. Dock eats Tilson Ken Edgar posted a pretty five-goal, two- assist performance to power Dock Lunch to a 9-4 victory over Tilson TV in the first game of their best-of-five Penetanguishene Recreational Hockey League semi-final series last Sunday at Penetanguishene Arena.
