Pee Wees: Gateway’s Pee Wee Gladiators lost to the No. 1 Walpole Express on Sunday morning by a score of 4-3. Walpole has been a tough competitor this season, but the games are always close and exciting. Walpole scored two goals in the first period and another in the second to take a three-point lead, but Gateway battled back to score two of their own in the second by Ben Demoranville assisted by Stephen Old and one from Old off of an assist by Michael Parker. Walpole scored one more in the third period to take a two-point lead forcing Gateway to pull goalie Ryker King for the extra skater. Gateway applied a lot of pressure and scored another goal to get to within one, but with only 18 seconds remaining, the Gladiators were not able to score a final needed goal.
