Gladstone 11-2 Neepawa
An amazing six point effort (3 goals - 3 assists) by Jesse Hall, helped to lead the Gladstone Lakers to a dominant 11-2 win over the Neepawa Farmers on Friday, Nov. 4. The victory was not powered by that lone player, however, as Jordan Geddes (1-3), Regan Stire (1-2), Eric Beaudin (1-2) and Corby Henderson (2-0) all contributed to the one-sided win. Shane Levandosky and Lance Nugent each scored for the Farmers.
