that didnt phase coach jim fletcher days before the tournament fletch said he h wouldnt be surprised if his team t of talented setters and spikers fji finished in the top five t one thing he did not count on was a slow start j before they could say tough competition they had already rtvlost to allontario champs w leamington and then to northern jxlrom sarnia t the two loses combined with a tie against glendale put the local team in the tier three pool although feeling a bit discon certed himself the inimitable fletch motivated his team as only he can do and the team went on to capture five games in a row beating oxford and port dover the brightest moment of the tournament for fletch was mary sled hitting the games final points set up by lisa zeck to win 156 and 1511 over port dover it was the last time mary and lisa will play volleyball for sdss as they graduate at the end of the year it was the third year fletch and bob tooker have assembled a squad for the competition and despite

versus goliath only this time david was squashed but not without trying when the fame international atom clippers took on the bow- manville bulls during the weekend to determine the lakeshore group two zone cham pions they took the bull by the horns but just couldnt wrestle it to the dirt losing saturdays game 81 and the following days game 50 no one said this series would be easy and considering the home- side is a bb squad and bowman ville who beat trenton in their semifinal is a the local boys had an enormous task at hand it is a series coach wally crow- der wasnt too anxious to play tak ing into account his boys have participated in about 60 games this season but the ontario minor hockey association ruling dic tated otherwise and despite his apprehensions coach crowder was confident the local boys would give a total effort in hopes of upsetting the favo rites unfortunately for stouffville if saturdays loss didnt shake their confidence sundays at the re creation centre probably rocked it like an earthquake the first period was a telltale sign with bowmanville register ing seven shots on the clippers and scoring once while bulls goalie steve stairiton nearly took root in the ice not facing a single shot as a matter of fact the home- side did have occasional pressure on bowmanville but it wasnt un til 115 remaining in the middle frame did stouffville count a shot on goal even if the clippers had scored on every shot they took on net they would have only gathered a draw as clipper stopper evan boyd faced 26 pucks to stouffvil- les five in an attempt to enhance the offence defensive coach dave turner had defenceman scott assinck play forward leaving the team with a three defence rota tion but it appeared no matter what strategy was employed stouffville was overmatched we dont shoot the puck enough admitted dave turner but thats been a problem all year before the game they were told to put pressure on them beat them to the puck and check like crazy with a couple of lapses against them they score we could have played better added defenseman danny armour we didnt shoot the puck enough we might not be able to beat them but we can come close the next game is tonight at 7 pm final chance to book field its the last strike for those wanting to schedule diamond times for the upcoming season the community ball associa tion is meeting at
