Peewee Jets win two back-to-back games

November 10, 2015

The Vito’s Pizzeria Peewee Jets were on the road Friday, Nov. 6 to take on the Campbellford Colts for the first time.
The Jets came out skating fast in the first period, great passing lead to many scoring opportunities. Winger Keegan Anderson saw his window of opportunity, wound up slammed it in the Campbellford net unassisted, lighting up the scoreboard. Halfway through the period the team had a scramble in front of the net, Owen Fergusson managed to poke it past the Colt’s goalie, assisted by defence Jonathon Young and winger Cody Switzer. The Jets lead 2-0 going into the second.
This period started off to a shaky start with the Jets killing off double penalties, the Colts capitalized on their man advantage squeaking one past Phillip Cannon in net. Less than three minutes later, centre Desi Davies takes control of the situation and fires one past the Campbellford goalie assisted by winger Colson West.
The Jets suffered from a questionable call starting out the third one man short, the Jets kept the pressure on keeping it out of their end. Three minutes into the period winger Cody Switzer receives a pass up from defence Connor Sobry fires at the net, winger Colson Jenkins is right there tipping it in, putting the Jets up by three goals. Jenkins was a man on a mission as soon as he came off the bench putting in his second goal in the third, assisted by winger Cody Switzer and centre Desi Davies.
A strong finish with constant pressure paid off with a 5-1 win for the Peewee Jets.
Saturday Nov. 7, the Colts ventured to Bancroft for a 6 p.m. game. Gavin Plunkett #5 put in the first goal for the team with an assist from #8 Keegan Anderson and #7 Desi Davies. Campbellford tied it up this period with a goal slipped past Phillip Cannon with 26 seconds left on the scoreboard.
The second period was a revolving door in the penalty box for the Jets, wracking up eight minutes. Both goalies from each team were on top of their game this period keeping out scoring opportunities at both ends. With 10 seconds left on the clock Colson Jenkins #9 gets fired up and wakes up their goalie with the shot of a lifetime landing in the back of their net, assisted by Owen Fergusson #2.
The boys started out with a one-goal advantage, keeping the crowd on the edge of their seats. Less than two minutes in Campbellford make some strong passes up the ice, managing to put one in, tying it up.
The clock had less than four minutes on it when Jenkins decides it is time for his second goal of the game, with help from Cody Switzer #15. Eighteen seconds later Keegan Anderson #8 secures our lead flinging it in the net assisted by Gavin Plunkett #5 and Desi Davies #7.
The Vito’s Pizzeria Peewee Jets win 4-2.
