JOHNSTOWN - Serra and Bishop McCort in a rematch of the 2000 and more recently 2001 Penguin Cup Final. A battle for the # 1 seed in the upcoming Class A Penguin Cup playoffs. Big Game right....Where was Serra star Steve Leppo ? Another meaningless Hornet practice and John Mooney ? No Show and nowhere to be found. Serra was not starting on the right foot. Even though Crusher head coach John Bradley was in the stands serving his last game of a controversial four game suspension issued by the PIHL, which is interesting because they don't follow any of their other rules ! Bishop McCort was focused as they always are for big games at the War Memorial and got off to a great start as Joe Delic scored on a rebound at 13:20 to give his team a 1-0 lead. Serra answered at 8:28 on the power play, after some nice puck movement, C.J. King took a Jesse Lubasch pass and beat Ron Stenger to tie the game. The Crushers took over in the 2nd period as Danny Thomas followed his own rebound and beat Timmy Johnson through the five hole to give McCort a 2-1 lead. Then at 5:57, Delic, on a great individual effort would not be denied as he beat Johnson to extend the lead to 3-1. In the third period, Anthony Feyock held Serra off the board and Bishop McCort earned a huge 3-1 victory. Serra outshot the Crushers 25-24 on the night. image
