JETS U19 BOYS SWEEP PAIR OF SUNDAY GAMES

The Golden Jets U19 boys capped off an extremely successful weekend of national league play at the Markham Pan Am Center with two convincing wins on Sunday.

In the morning, the Jets were tied 3-3 with DDO White late in the first quarter when the team exploded for three goals in a minute and a half to take a 6-3 lead into the second quarter. Four more goals to start the second made it a seven goal run and the Jets extended the lead to 12-5 at the half and then coasted to a 21-12 victory.

David Rapoport was on fire scoring seven goals to lead the Jets attack. Euan Scoffield notched a hat trick while Luka Pejanovic, Stefan Vukovic and Matija Babic each tallied twice. Single goals were scored by William Qiu, Zach Ginsberg, Alex Bozzo, Marko Avdalovic and Stefan Mitic.

Later in the afternoon, the Jets had a rematch with the Ottawa Titans whom the Jets had defeated 16-7 to open the weekend. It was a close game at the end of the first quarter as the Jets led 4-3. However, the Jets gradually pulled away to 9-4 half time and 16-8 three quarters time leads before winning 18-10.

Rapoport and Blake Carnevale each scored four times. Scoffield, Bozzo, Avdalovic and Vukovic had two markers apiece while Viktor Brancus and Mitic added one each.

The win gave the Jets a 5-1 record for the weekend and a solid hold on second place in the Eastern Conference of the NCL. The Jets are off until well into the New Year when the team will travel to B.C. to play each of the six Western Conference teams.
