friday put the uxbridge junior tigers into the durham region high school football playoffs the win gave the tigers a record of four wins and two losses good enough for third spot in their division they take on second place henry street in whitby this after- noon with a trip to the division title on the line the victor will play the win ner of the pickering high school dunbarton clash tiger coach brian manorck said the two squads are evenly matched the earlier henry street win was just bad luck for uxbridge im very confident going in against henry street man- orek said after the dwyer vic tory i think we have a very good shot at beating them hopefully some of our injured players will be back and theres no reason we cant go all the way to the cham pionship the junior tiger offensive backfield has taken a real beating this season due to in juries however they looked strong against dwyer friday afternoon in uxbridge especially the outstanding running of halfback mike klose who scored both touch downs to break the game open in the second half kioscs final touchdown early in the fourth quarter was a beutiful piece of inside running which he broke to the outside for a 30 yard major the run had coach manorek raving mike was outstand ing he won the game for us that second touchdown was probably the best run ive seen all year the uxbridge and dwyer juniors really dont like each other dwyer beat the tigers for the durham title last sea son on a controversial play so fridays win which knocked dwyer out of the playoffs was sweet for the tigers before the game began the dwyer coach was screaming at his players pushing them and throwing the odd football at any who didnt seem psyched up enough it was a hardhitting emo tional affair throughout and tiger quarterback ian witucki took a visious shot to the leg as he was going down in the first quarter the injury didnt take him out of the game for long but it did hamper his running ability forcing the tigers to use big fullback trevor bubba davis more than they planned davis came through with a superb game though plowing through on shortyardage situations and opening some large holes for the halfbacks the junior tiger defence was once again outstanding as they frustrated dwyer at every opportunity including a big interception by paul stevens the fortunes of the senior tigers were much dimmer as they were blown out by dwyer 380 to end their season sdss sixth at durhamyork cross country meet brenda hachey goes to provincials a strong run over a very tough cross country course at dagmar ski hills
