Lakers Washed Away Lightning in Three
The Bantam Rep CC playdown series began with South Kent Lightning (Taco Bell) facing Wallaceburg Lakers, only to be shut down in three straight games. 

The series began on January 11th in Wallaceburg with an amazing game which ended in overtime to determine a winner.  Within 2 minutes of overtime, Nelson Dekoning of the Lakers scored giving Wallaceburg the lead in the series.  On January 17th, South Kent hosted the Lakers to a very unfavourable loss of 5-1.  Scoring the only Lightning goal was Cam Wellington, assisted by Cory Beecroft.    
 
Back to the Wallaceburg barn on January 18th for the final game of the series in Wallaceburg where they blanked the first period.  In less than 2 minutes of the 2nd, Cory Beecroft scored, unassisted, on a breakaway, only to be matched within a minute by Wallaceburg.  The tie didn't last long as Beecroft scored another leaving the Lightning to go into the third period leading. The third period, however, was a different story as Wallaceburg scored 3 goals within a minute and half.  The final goal, with only 27 seconds left was shot into an empty net with 27 seconds allowing the Lakers to go home with the 5-2 win.
 
South Kent Lightning now wait for playoffs while Wallaceburg Lakers go on to face the undefeated South Huron Sabres.
