A formidable backup

Biddeford goalie Cody Petit got the start Monday in a 5-1 win over Kennebunk for the Fix Cup championship, giving Tigers starter Tony Dube a breather.

"Tony is a great goaltender," said Petit, who finished with 22 saves in the exhibition game. "It's nice to get the start every once in a while but I couldn't have done it without the team tonight because they worked hard."

The line on Petit this season: In five regular-season games he has given up 11 goals, with a 2.20 goals-against average and .897 saves percentage.

"Cody plays very, very well when we need him," Biddeford Coach Jamie Gagnon said. "He's had some great breakout games this year, throughout the year, and to get performances from Cody, it's phenomenal."

From the "Don't believe everyone you talk to" department:

If you ever get contacted and recruited by a college coach, make sure you check the credentials.

A high school senior in Nevada gave a verbal commitment to the California football program but later discovered someone impersonated Cal coach Jeff Tedford.
