chance to res tore their pride last weekend doug mckenzies bantams led the way trampling the north york bandits 280 for awhile it was a close game with wade smiths firstquarter twoyard touchdown plunge providing the only points but the floodgates opened in the final frame jj herron scored on an 11yard sweep toby mchale recovered a fumble then ran 37 yards for the major and jeff johnston scored on a threeyard dive robert edmondson booted all four converts probably for the first time this season we had a good effort from both the offence and the defence said coach mckenzie they complimented each other and the offensive line chris reid jeremy gallup andrew green tom walton and franco meli was probably a little sharper than it has been lately mckenzie is still hoping for more improvement from the off ence noting wed be a much bet ter team if we could complete a few passes bob prefontaines atom raid ers put together enough offence to gain a 120 win over north york wesley matheson opened the scoring in the first quarter by re turning a punt from his own 45- yard line for a touchdown the second major came on the games final play when mathe- regain pride sons shortyardage dive capped an offensive drive that began deep in markham territory coach prefontaine was thrilled with the win which ups the squads record to three wins and two losses we had our best defensive game of the year he gushed it was so dominant if we could give out 12 stars to everyone we would have we shut down their inside and outside games and had a cou ple of interceptions strong games came from matheson centre mathew hardi- man quarterback doug walton offensive tackle ian burrows offensive end jd coulter and cornerback chris matheson meanwhile john beattys peewee raiders continue to stum ble along this time getting shut out 460 by the bandits the squad is winless this season and has yet to score a point i think were an atom team playing in a peewee league a weary coach beatty explained that was the north york coachs observation which was humiliat ing in itself at this point beattys goal is simply to get on the scoresheet but that could be difficult as his

football team you used to know for the first two games of this years campaign the squad has been masquarading as just another mediocre bunch of players but all that started to change thursday afternoon when the doug seed two big interceptions marauders trashed newmarket 220 on the scoresheet and 21486 in the total offensive yards column for the first half it was close with only two chris brown singles breaking the scoreless deadlock but come the second half quar terback mark esdale and com pany went to work with three touchdowns two from esdale and one from brian mcmaster and two dave crilly converts it didnt result in a touchdown but there was a feeling that the offence had finally come together the running game also re turned with esdale dashing 48 yards on seven carries and scott hitchcock 104 on 15 carries defensively it was the brian mcmaster show all the way hes hitting at a university level he made eight individual tackles in half a game mdhs was still struggling on tuesday when it barely scraped by huron heights 70 scott hitch cock had the games lone major when he crashed over the goallinc after an esdalctojamie killack- ey bomb in fact it was the big defensive

injuries hurt by frank king sports editor there could be some rousing rivalries on the local athletic scene this year if wednesdays junior girls basketball game is any example unionville high school and a surprisingly tough brother andre catholic high school battled it out with unionville using a big third quarter to secure a 4830 vie- tory it was 201g at halftime but cru cial injuries to brother andres jennifer kulis dislocated finger and megan griffin twisted ankle took the starch out of their attack as a result don carmichaels crew was able to outscorc mary devauxs cardinals by a 19fi mar gin and that made the difference unionvilles shawnc davey finished up as the games top shooter with 17 points andrea mason contributed eight i thought we played well assessed coach carmichael were a little behind where i want us to be because we havent had a gym to practice in but were off to not a bad start the squads start was on mon day with a 5613 annihilation of richmond hills bayview secon dary school davey nicole volpe and sarah lament hooped 10 points apiece carmichael pointed out that all but two of his players volpe and sarah parsons are 15 in a league that can have players as old as 17 still i think well be competi tive i dont know what the rest of the league looks like but judging from our two games well give everyone a good fight as for brother andre coach de- veaux was delighted with her troops performance i was so proud of the girls not only in their play but their disci pline attitude and hustle i cant remember being so proud of any team i was shining at the end the cardinals have no big shoo ters like davey but instead spread out the offence amongst the roster which includes tara talbot laureen baretto enza biadi debbie brown carolyn colvin cindy keyes margie orsi michelle quesnelle veroni ca tomaiuolo terri wilkie and leslie wood this season should be a tough test for the cardinals they were supposed to play other arated schools such as langstaff and woodbridge but those teams dis appeared before the campaign started so the squad is battling aa schools like unionville but it shouldnt fare badly as only col vin and wood are rookies in the veteranladen roster
