Eskasoni wins 2 on the weekend, Scotians rebound
The Eskasoni Jr. Eagles completed a successful weekend in Brookfield Saturday afternoon Nov 6 as they squeaked by the Brookfield Elks 5-4 to give them two wins against Fred Fox Division Teams, this after their 6-3 win over the Capstone Colts Friday at C.F.B. Shearwater. The Eagles jumped out early and took a 3-0 lead over the Elks on goals from MacKenzie Erickson, Jacob Denny and Thomas Simon before the Elks regrouped and tied the game 3-3. Calem McAndrew scored the final goal of the first to make it 3-1 Jr. Eagles after one period. Connor Miller and Luke MacDonald both scored in the second for the Elks on the power-play as the Jr. Eagles ran into some penalty troubles. It stayed 3-3 until Kinnon Williams scored the first of his two on the afternoon for Eskasoni with 5:47 to play in the second. With five minutes elapsed in the third period, Williams recorded his 2nd marker of the afternoon to put Eskasoni up 5-3 but the Elks refused to quit as Noah Latimer scored with 3:19 to play to make it 5-4 Eskasoni but try as they might, the Elks could not get the equalizer and lost 5-4. The Jr. Eagles now 3-7-0 on the season outshot the 0-6-1 Elks 46-32.
