Highlanders Eliminate Jr. Sting
     A victory over the Grey Bruce Highlanders would advance the Jr. Sting to Sunday's semi final at the Waterloo Gold Puck Tournament.

Grey Bruce put the game away with two goals; one of which was an empty netter.
     Kalvin Thornton and Duncan MacSorley scored one each with assists coming from Blake Thomas, Derek Nap, Brent Sauve and AJ Baughman. Darren Foubister did his part, especially late in the game with several spectacular saves.

     Next action for the Jr. Sting is Friday night in St. Thomas against the Elgin Middlesex Chiefs. Puck drops 8:00pm.
