The Marauders S didn't even get it past the midfîeld strîpe until the dying seconds of the baîf and only a slew of Wayne S Sliwsnskî tackles made it wortbwhile watcbing. Sliw- inski finisbed ibe day witb five tackles including three L ad 5.5 tackles, and Jason Payne bad bis best game as a Marauder. The second baîf was a wake-up caîl for Milton nigbt k fromn the kiekoff. Domenîc b Camastro booted it into tbe à end zone wbere tbe Tri-City returu man managed to get to the two-yard line. The Am Milton defence didn't give an inch on the possession and MtU the Outlaws surrendered a AkU safety to make the score 8-2. Then witb Josb Spanick replacing Neil Baltbazaar at quarterback, the Marauders took off. On their first play, Spanick connected wiîb a àlf, 15-yard pass to Damian Hannaford. ion Nedljkovsc pîcked up 1l yards, then Spanick caugbt a Hannaford pass over the middle for a Y 47-yard TD.

The two-point conversion failed, but the ensuing kickoff went tbrougb the end zone to make it 15-9 Tri-City. Mîlton's offence started moving agaîn and moved well -A 1 into Outlaw ter- ritory, mostly witb good gains * by George T Baîden, but it ended wben a Spanîck pass went tbrougb the bands of a Milton receiv- er. and rigbt to . ou guessed it, Nosal, wbo also plays defence, and could probably play tbe banjo ai baîf-time if they needed it. The defence beld yet again, and Hannaford made an excellent puni return of 35 yards to the Tri-City 31-yard line. Nedljkovic ran for il yards, setting up a great fin- gertip catch by Hannaford for the toucbdown. Camastro's extra point made it 16-15 for Milton witb 2:19 remnaining. Twice it looked as if Milton's defence would shut down Tri-City's final drive, but îwice Nosal found receivers open on fourîb down, and then ran for 18 yards bimself, puîîing bim over the 100-yard rusbing mark. Wiîh 10 seconds remaînîng in the fourîb quar- ter Nosal connected witb a receiver open in the end zone, then added a two-point conversion.
