Olinoski powers senior Rebels to key triumph over Reding Continued from pg. 1 Royals' centre Aaron Alston put his team back up 46-44, before another trey from Olinoski with 20 seconds left clinched the victory. He also made two spectacular defensive plays on Bishop Reding's last possession and drew a foul. Spencer Troop chipped in nine points for the winning side. "We just got back from the tournament in Edmonton and I thought we were a little rusty and fatigued," added Olinoski. "But we came back when we needed to. We want to get to OFSAA this year and with all of our starters back we think we can do it." Georgetown's seniors are 15-2 overall this season and with five games left on the schedule before playoffs, they'll play Bishop Reding in the finale Feb. 7 in Milton, with the North Division title possibly at stake. The AAAA-classified Rebels won't have to worry about facing Alilovic and the Royals in the post-season, however, as Bishop Reding is now considered a AAA centre. Holy Trinity could be the team to beat for Georgetown when OFSAA berths are up for grabs in late February. Olinoski struck for 21 points as the host Rebels downed the Acton Bearcats 58-27 on Monday. Adam Grove replied with a dozen points for Acton. This week, coach Steve Pettit's Rebels will be in upstate New York for a holiday tournament. The senior Rebels also remain undefeated at 6-0 and 14-0 overall but were given a scare by Acton on Monday. The Bearcats took game one before Georgetown rallied to take the next two sets and the match, backed by setter Meghan Shantz.
