Jr; G3 track by TED WATSON [ Before a full house last Friday afternoon Midland Stoneleigh Centennials lost 6-2 to the Bowmanville Eagles to go behind 0-2 in their semi- finals series. Bowmanville got three first period power play goals to take a commanding lead which they never relinquished. Tim Preston at 3:02 while Dean Marcellus was off for an elbowing penalty, then Jeff Dawson at 8:16 while John Witzke served two minutes for slashing and finally Dawson again at 12:28 while Drew Varley was off for high-sticking. Brad Clemens finished off the period as they outshot the Cents 18-8. Jeff Dawson got his third goal at 2.52 of the second on an unassisted goal as he pushed the puck through Chris Lemieux's pad on a goal- mouth scramble. Dayrell Rowe scored another unassisted goal at 6:39 to make the score 6-0 at the end of two periods. Bowmanville again outshot Midland, this time 11-8. Midland finally gave their fans something to cheer about as Tommy Hook scored at 3:36 assisted by Dave Barber and Shawn Davy. At 14:55 Daryl Belcourt converted passes from Owen Quilty and Marlon Gieseler while having a man advantage. Once again Bowmanville outshot Midland 16-10 to have an advantage of 45-26 overall. Each team took 15 minor penalties as referee Sandy Proctor didn't let too much get by him. Just to show you the kind of power this Bowmanville team has, consider the following; the line of Dayrell Rowe, Brian Keenan and Mark Hickey who dominated the first game of this series with 8 goals and twelve assists was held to a single point (goal by Rowe) in this game but the Eagles still managed to get five other goals. Cents lost the services of Al Whidden (hip in- jury) and Dean Marcellus (shoulder) early in the game and il is quite probable neither will be able to play on Sunday. Forced into drastic action by his team's poor showing in the first two games of this series, Coach Ross McConnell juggled his forward lines and il worked as the Centennials skated to a very convincing 8-3 win over the Bowmanville Eagles on Sunday night. The whole team responded and played 60 minutes of fine hockey just as they had in the previous series with Stayner, Parry Sound , Oro and Bradford when they won 16 games out of 18. ' Cents took an early lead as Shawn Davy scored alt 1:32 and then John Walter made it 2-0 with a power play goal al 7:26 before Pierre St. Amand scored al 9:11 for the Eagles. John Witzke scored on a blistering slap shot from the point at 15:55 but Brian Keenan got that one back at 16:10. Rob Jamieson added another power play goal at 18:53 to give the Stoneleigh crew .a 4-2 lead at the period's end. Midland took four minor penalties and Bowmanville seven in a rough but well-played period. Midland played its best period of the series as they fired 18 shots at George Kennett in the Eagles net but were only able to beat him once and that was near the end of the period as Daryl Belcourt scored from Witzke. Marlon Gieseler made it 6-2 at the ten second mark of the third period and the Bowmanville fans were suddenly quiet. Scott Heard got the Eagles third goal on a power play at 3:49 but then John Walter (his second) and Rob Fortin scored power play goals within a minute and a half to put the game oul of reach. Dayrell Rowe did score at 19:38 but it really didn't matter. Chris Lemieux was a strong point for the Cents as Bowmanville actually outshot Midland 45-38. The forward lines Coach McConnell came up with were: John Walter with Dave Barber and John Johnson, Shawn Davy with Chad Wiebe and Drew Varley, Marlon Gieseler stayed with Daryl Belcourt with Owen Quilty moving onto left wing. The only change the coach intends to make is to replace Chad Wiebe with Doug Barber who will be back after a four game suspension. Wiebe would then move back to his regular defensive position. McConnell had special praise for several of his players including John Witzke, John Walter, Shawn Davy, and Tom Hook, who did an ex- ceptional job killing penalties. Next game is Friday night here in Midland at 8:30. Be there--it's going to be a good one.
