ee Sie sc ne tla ili % OI Ce Oe BPRS Ly <a? by RON JOHNSON Midland Secondary School senior girls are not the provincial high school basketball champions, but didn't miss by very much. Marauders lost to the number one ranked Sarnia St. Pats by 44-32 in the semi-finals of an extremely competitive OFSSAA tournament last week. MSS got off to a slow start, and got into foul trouble against Sarnia, MSSgirls make final four Fall short, Marauders lose in semis to Sarnia and just couldn't recover against the eventual champs. Team quarterback and _in- spirational leader, Angie Pumputis picked up four fouls, some of a dubious nature, in the first half, and was to a large degree not a factor as she_ should have been allowed to be. According to coach Brigg Harvey. "Angie is a tremendous power forward, who can dominate a game, but the officials just wouldn't let her play her game." MSS was down by 13 at half, but couldn't make up more than one of those points in the second half. Tracey. Vent had 14 points to top the Midland scoring in the final game. St. Pat's went on to defeat Bishop Ryan of Hamilton 46-45 in the championship game. To get to the Sarnia Stoneleigh midgets tie twice in GBHL | If playing a tie game is like kissing your sister, then Stoneleigh Motors Minor Midgets got a double dose of familial affection on the weekend. In Georgian Bay league action: Stoneleigh tied Elmvale Co-ops 2-2 on Thursday night, and followed that with a 3-3 tie against Owen Sound in the Sound. After spotting Elm- vale a 2-0 lead in the game last Thursday in Midland, Stoneleigh rallied for the tie on two goals by Kevin Belcourt. The last time these two teams met the score Kine by RON JOHNSON What else can we say, except that one more will make it 12 wins in a row for the Penetanguishene Kings in the Georgian Bay Junior C League? Kings made it 11 with a surprisingly close 7-3 win over Oro 77's last was 12-9 for Midland, so defencewise, the teams shored up this time. Gary Watson in the nets for Stoneleigh was outstanding. Saturday night in Owen Sound, Midland came from behind once again to get the point. Belcourt also had two markers for the visitors, while Mike Gadsby added the other counter. Chris Friessen kept Midland close with some stellar goalkeeping for the midgets. Next game for the Midland __ Stoneleigh Motors minor midgets is Friday night in Stayner at 9:30 p.m. Legion midgets win Midland Legion major midgets hung a 7-3 loss on the home _ town Collingwood midgets Sunday night. The outcome was never in jeopardy, as Midland held leads of 3-1 and 5-2 at the close of the first periods. Scoring for Midland were three players with two apiece; Jim Edgar, Owen Quilty, and Mike McLaughlin. Ralph Seeman scored the other Legion goal. and second game, Midland put together what Haryey ealls "a marvelous tournament". They played and won three previous games in convincing fashion. West Toronto was their first victim, on Thursday morning, as they fell 51-30, as Carolyn Meech totalled 22 points in a fine display. Friday morning the Opposition was supplied by Frontenac' of Kingston, and tiny point guard Sheila Lizotte spearheaded the 56-30 triumph with her solid defensive work and hustle. The scoring was distributed among several players. Coach Harvey noted that this was just one in a season of fine efforts by Lizotte and the team. "Sheila was _ out- standing in the whole tournament, just as she and the whole team have provided me with excellent play and dedication all season." Marauders played a "grudge match" next against Notre Dame of Welland. MSS had lost to Welland earlier in the season by one point in overtime. says Harvey. "We had something to prove after that loss, because the _ girls thought we were the better team. Welland was seeded ahead of us (fourth to MSS' fifth) and we didn't think that was right."' Revenge was sweet, to the tune of 56-43, leaving no doubt about who was the superior team. Leading scorer in this game was Carolyn Meech, one of the aa graduating seniors, who had 19 points. These wins brought MSS to the semi-final 'game against Sarnia, and its unfortunate result. Brigg Harvey's team loses some front line players, like Tracey Sheila Lizotte: Outstanding in final tourney Vent, Carolyn Meech and Sheila Lizotte, but he still expects the team to contest the title again next year. Sarnia and Sudbury, who lost the other semi-final 44-43 to Bishop Ryan, are the two top-ranked teams and they both are facing the same situation as to graduating players. They will both retain star players who are members of Canada's national team, while MSS will be returing with Angie Pumputis, who Harvey thinks could be of national team calibre, and Kelly Edwards, another starter, plus a strong contingent of subs and juniors. This ongoing success is not just a tribute to the abilities of the girls as players, but also reflects the kind of job done by Brigg Harvey as a coach and motivator. Granted, the success is a merger of player and coaching abilities and work, but the fact that Midland ended in the final four against two private Catholic schools and one much larger public high school is in some ways directly attributable to the time and efforts of Brigg Harvey. A well- deserved tip of my Atlanta Braves hat to you sir, for a job well done. Ss wait until late to defeat Oro BY lieely Wid, 17 Penetanguishene. The score remained close throughout the game, as the score at the intermisions was 2-2 and 4-3 Kings. Brian McReynolds got Kings off to a fast start -by putting one in at the 20 second mark. Dave Robillard got his first of the night at the seven minute mark. Oro got goals from Ron Toffan and Mike Murden before the period ended to tie it up. McReynolds got another early goal in the second period, when he scored at the 0:49 mark. Big Brothers win, as CKMP-Heroes tie by FRED WALLACE An incredible save by Darren Morrison in the last minute. with 21 players screening him, allowed the CKMP Radio Raiders to escape with a 4-4 tie with the-- Casual Heroes, Satuday night. The game, played at Centennial Arena, featured rubber pucks, kidnappings, foreign objects and defensive play similar to that exhibited by the Maple Leafs this season. Raiders took a 2-0 lead early in the second period on goals by Rick (The Rocket) Trollope and Tim Langton. The Goal by Langton was his first in ten years. Undaunted, Causual Heroes, not to be con- fused with Hogan's Heroes, fought back to tie the score. Then Raiders came on again. Dave (The Hatchet) Evans, Raiders' soon scored shortly before Trollope added his second of the night. With a 4-2 Lead it looked as if the boys from Telemedia Radio had a win. However, late in the game, the CKMP defence, compared by some with the security at Buckingham Palace, faltered. Led by Bob Thomas and _ Bob Kennedy, Casual Heroes came back to tie the score at 4 and then pressed for the winner only to be thwarted by Morrison. The game which was a fund-raiser for the area's Big Brother's Association was a success all-round. Proceeds from the "game went to 'an ex- cellent organization and judging from the smiles on both the players and spectator's faces it was pretty good en- tertainment to boot! Robillard also counted his second, sandwiched around Dunc Ellis' goal for Oro. Play remained fairly close until the last three and a half minutes, when Penetanguishene pumped home. three quick goals. Scoring were Robillard, with his third, Greg Pilon, and _ McReynolds competing his hat trick. : It was a chippy affair, - with each team drawing 17 minor fenalties. Kings outshot the visitors by 39-31. Kings' manager Peter Dubeau attributed the closeness of the game to two things. "First Oro had been Shellacked 9-2 by Midland earlier in the week, and were up for the game. They have a fair hockey team that can play some good games.
