Kolora-Noorat premiership player Ben Reid produced a match-winning 21-point game to help Terang to a 14-point triumph over Warrnambool Seahawks on Saturday night.
He was supported by Power teammate Luke Tebble - who drained three points - in the rout over a Seahawks outfit boasting Big V experience.
Future AFL draft prospect Jamarra Ugle-Hagan also made a shock appearance for the Tornadoes, slotting 16 points.
Tornadoes coach Craig McLeod was proud of his men.
"It's fantastic - the guys over at Terang have all been so accommodating for me since I've crossed over there," he said.
"The guys with the footy backgrounds have been excellent in showing camaraderie. They really embrace everyone."
He implored his side to maintain its "unpredictable" nature and praised the four players who contributed double figure points.
"We want the opposition to guess 'which of their players is going to show up tonight?'," McLeod said.
