Series Preview: Counting (Scare)crows

Port Huron Prowlers News Release


For the first time ever, the Port Huron Prowlers will face off against the expansion Topeka Scarecrows when the teams battle at McMorran Place this weekend. Both teams swept their season opening series on the road before splitting at home this past weekend.

The Prowlers are coming off a series with the Watertown Wolves. On Friday, penalties and inconsistent play plagued them as they fell 6-2. Port Huron regrouped on Saturday to pick up a 2-1 win behind 23 saves from Bailey Huber in his first pro start. The Prowlers are 3-1-0 with nine points and third in the Empire Division.

The Scarecrows opened Landon Arena by welcoming in the Biloxi Breakers. On Friday they kept the Breakers at bay and pulled out a 5-2 win. Thomas Murphy led the way with a pair of goals, including the game winner. Biloxi earned a split the next night by scoring four unanswered goals in the second period to come away with a 6-3 decision. Gordon Whalen factored in on all three Topeka goals. That first loss for the Scarecrows dropped them to 3-1-0 with nine points. They sit second in the Empire thanks to the goal differential tiebreaker.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Prowlers - Blake Anderson (F) - Anderson is set to make his Prowlers debut this weekend after arriving in Port Huron late last week. He scored 21 goals in 55 games as a rookie for Monroe last year and came to the Prowlers in the Tucker Scantlebury trade this summer.
