JOHNSTOWN - Quaker Valley coach Kevin Quinn knows his team has a good young nucleus and added to that nucleus this season was goaltender Nick Signet, who transferred back to QV from Quigley. The Quakers had a big opportunity to claim a big prize in Johnstown against Westmont Hilltop and the Hilltoppers appeared vulnerable after a huge upset at the hands of Blackhawk less than a week ago. In the first period Sam Harriston put Quaker Valley on top at 11:12 and in the second period added to the lead with another goal at 9:12. Back came the Hilltoppers as Brian Willet (7:18) and Sean Dorian (5:15) used a 15-4 second period shot advantage to tie the game. The third period would be anybody's game and while Signet was shutting the door on the Hilltoppers, Quaker Valley was sezing the opportunity at the other end. Jesse Taylor's goal at 11:59 of the third gave QV the lead and Dan Herring added two more goals as Quaker Valley moved right into the Class A West Division lead with a 5-2 win over Westmont Hilltop.
