Penyige won his for the second year in a row in the 1561/2 pounds division while McKenzie won the 8312 bracket. Steve Penyige and Brad McKenzie of Bayview Secondary School in Richmond Hill each won two gold medals in the Ontario High School cham- pionships in Ottawa. There was just no stopping Bayview Secondary School in basketball for the second straight Bayview Secondary does it again Two gold medals McKenzie had a particularly Idea behind it is to give the house league youngsters something big to shout about as well as the sometimes more celebrated town rep teams. It will also provide an opportunity for youngsters from both hockey organizations to get to play one another. Great idea. Last year’s game saw the Rams winning 7-5 and, according to rumors, the local town league boys are out to reverse the score this time. FAMILIAR FACES There’s not much more I can say except that the hockey will be interesting and many of the faces familiar. Such former minor leagUers, juniors, etc., as Ben Bourget, Jim Roffey, Tony Roffey, Wayne Roffey, John Gropp, Dave Berseth, Jamie Gropp, will all be out there with the .All‘ Stars. . Saturday will see the Rams taking on the Richmond Hill Town Hockey League All Stars with all proceeds going toward the Rams who need some fast money quickly. The Rams need your support at this game Which starts at 7:30 pm. and will feature good hockey, lucky draws, a giant 50â€"50 draw, music, presentations, the Blue Line Club and fun for all. ‘I’ll conclude by simply saying the Rams are working hard to stay viable and, well, it’s up to you. GREAT HELP I would also be remiss in not commending the work of Town League President Jack Major and his players as well as Bob Reeves and the Richmond Hill Minor Hockey Association. Working with Tom Simpson will be Arena Adâ€" ministrator Ed Sackfield, Bob Reeves, Ron Russell, and Hugh Mitchell. More on this later. BIG NIGHT Another pretty important night is coming up this Saturday at the local arena. It’s very important to the Provincial. Junior A Rams and also to anyone out there desiring to keep the above mentioned team operating next season. All of them are doing their best to keep the Rams afloat for the simple reason it provides some sort of goal and opportunity for youngsters coming out of the minor ranks. Having said all that, I suggest it will be simply a fun night to go to. Good enough reason in itself. Amen. That’s 7:30 Saturday night at the Richmond Hill Arena. Some final items: None other than Scotia Bank of Richmond Hill has agreed to lend some financial backing to the tournament which will be welcome indeed. 600 PLAYERS The tournament will involve some 44 teams and 600 players from both the Richmond Hill and Oak Ridges House Leagues and will run from April 13 to 15 at both the Richmond Hill and Bond Lake Arenas. Any losses in the tournament, up to $1,925, will be backed by the Town. So along with Scotia Bank it looks like a “can’t fail” proposition. NEED UMPS Tom Price of the Richmond Hill’s Umpire’s Association is in desperate need of umpires and, especially, former ball players or experienced arbiters who may have just recently moved into the area. If you're interested call Tom at 884-8209. He really needs you. Anne Mathewson of the Richmond Hill Ladies Recreation Softball League announces registration will be held March 10 and 17 at Newkirk Bowl from 10 am. to 2 pm. Any girl from 18 and up is welcome to join. For further information call Anne at 884-9854. SLO-PITCH Finally, Lynton Friedberg reports 90 players signed up for the second year of Sloâ€"Pitch at last week’s registration night. That means it’s all full up for now with any more interested people asked to call Lynton at 884-8101. The present number of teams will go at six (two more than last year) with two more added providing 20 more people sign up. Anyone joining now will be put on a waiting list until that magic 20 is reached. This is one of those weeks where I feel like mounting the nearest curb and shouting “enough, enough" before I jump off. Just too much happening. Crazy. In about 6 or 7 weeks I’ll be reduced to interviewing the first robin of Spring to find something to write about. Oh well, I'd better get plunging. BIG TOURNEY Firstly, the word’s from Tom Simpson that there will not only be a first annual Richmond Hill-Oak Ridges House League hockey tournament in April but there will also be a real-live sponsor.

And against an explosive club like Oakville you can‘t let up at any time.” LETDOWN The Jewellers" big letdown came in the second period with the Jewellers leading 4-3. Oak Ridges goalie Gerry Kofsky picked up a penalty and it resulted in a quick power play goal for Bill Barnes and that School. V There was really nothing to it. Not if you listen to Bayview Too late “Oakville always scores in clumps,” said Artemchuk. “They can rattle you out of the arena in short order.“ The same team made it 6-4 at the 14:51 mark of the second period and the Jewellers were in trouble.

Twentyâ€"eight seconds it was Tod Inoyye sweeping in to get the go- ahead goal to make it 5-4. “We have a number of former Ram players, former pros and local minor players and our league plays a competitive ex- citing brand of hockey." states president Jack Major. “We‘re faceoffs ensued Despite this, they made it tense for the final few 'minutes after Glen Wright swept in a rebound from Brian Risk at 18:20.

The Rams met the town stars last year and just managed to edge them out 7-5 in a close, exciting game. The Richmond Hill Provincial Junior A Rams will have their backs to the wall in more ways than one this Saturday night. They'll not only be going against a determined all star team from the Richmond Hill Men‘s Hockey League but also against a money cloud hanging over them. PLAYED WELL “The team played very well as a unit," said coach Boguski. “We were up 20-7 after the first quarter and this enabled me to get everyone into the game early Midgets' coach Gary Boguski who termed both victories as a case “where we just got the jump on the opposition from' the beginning and controlled play from there on in." Boguski‘s Midgets corralled Barrie Eastview 54-43 with Mark Clendinning leading the way with a 15â€"point night followed by Greg Anderson with 12 points and Rick Scragg with 13 and John Walker with nine.

They‘re sending in two-men fore- checkers and our defence men have had trouble coping with it.“ FREE-SCORING Both games have been rather free-scoring affairs and Friday night‘s opener was no exception. end but the Jewellers never got a clear shot at the goal. Risk, Cam Reston and Len Hachborn were the more im- pressive warriors for the Jewellers with the goals going to Risk, Glen Wright. Karl Taylor; John Murphy and Wright again. “Despite the fact we got three power play goals," said Artemchuk, “it was our inability to score with a two~man ad- vantage a couple times in the second period that hurt us.“ “This game, and last year’s, is the result of excellent support and cooperation by the Rich- mond Hill Arena Board. and the complete commitment and hard work of Jack Major and his whole men's league. and Bob Reeves “As a result, prior to this season. the Rams have ac- cumulated a fair sized deficit. The monies from this game, if it is at all successful, will put the Rams in a break-even position for this year and will allow some reduction of the old deficit. “The Rams, over the past few years. have been experiencing the same problems all amateur hockey teams have of increasing costs and decreasing revenues. Bilotta, who was selected the game‘s most valuable player, STATES STEFFAN States Rams' General Manager Sil Steffan: Bilotta in particular was a demon on offence and defence all night and dominated the back- boards on rebounds. The big scoring guns for Bayview in this one were Ben Howe with 21 points, Alex Bilotta with 18. and John Briilert with 16.

The Jewellers led that game 3-2 at the end of the first period and really put the zip to Oakville with four goals in the second to the hometowner’s two. SHORTHANDED GOAL Big killer in this game was the penalty killing of Hachborn who turned two of those efforts into goals. Also wielding big offensive efforts were Reston and Risk with three goals apiece with singles to Kevin Johnstone and Glen Wright. Oak Ridges is back at Oakville Friday night and at home Monday night of next week. They also play the following night at Oakville.

The game was reasonably close at halftime but Bayview moved into the lead by a good margin in the second half breaking loose to outscore their opponents by an impressive margin.
