Tryouts April 12 & 13 2 Sports & Leisure, Friday, April 11, 2008 Marking its 10th season of exis- tence, the Halton Hills Hills Minor Football Association has some ambi- tious plans in the playbook as the Wildcats were recently approved to join the top summer league in Ontario. The Wildcats will field seven teams this season, including four in its atom house league (11-12 yrs.), two peewee rep sides (13-14 yrs.) and junior varsi- ty rep (15-17 yrs.). Theyve also begun training camp much sooner than usual thanks to the opening of the new indoor facility at the Dufferin Rural Heritage Community Centre in Acton, as workouts began in mid-March. Momentum is build- ing towards the 2009 campaign, when the Halton Hills junior varsity and peewee squads make the move up from the Ontario Minor Football League to play in the Ontario Varsity Football League, considered the top loop in the province. What we want to do in a perfect world is to have teams in the OVFL and if we have an overflow, which we have this year, well also have kids playing in the OMFL, said HHMFA president Dan Ralph, who is the junior varsity head coach as well. Theres not much more for us to accomplish in the OMFL and we feel its time to go out and play with the big boys to see how we can improve. Yes, there are going to be days that were going to take it on the chin from some of the stronger teams. But weve seen in the last five years the level of play in Halton Hills and Milton has gone up from where we were strictly a house league, and now were in a rep league that gets more exposure and is taken more seriously with more noto- riety. The junior varsity Wildcats won the 2006 OMFL championship before being knocked off in the semifinals last year, and it appears the team will be strong again for 2008. No fewer than 18 registered players weigh in at 200-plus pounds, including 6-foot-7, 300-pound offensive lineman Matt Hartnagle. Ralph added that the addition of a second peewee rep team should allow the Wildcats to be consistently com- petitive at the JV level, and the locally- based atom house league helps build a pyramid feeder system for future years. One of those atom teams is expect- ed to play out of Milton, which has supplied the Wildcats with several players for each age category, and the organizations recruitment boundaries extend as far away as Erin and Orangeville. Its not too late to register for one of the atom house league teams, although the junior varsity and peewee teams are full. For more info, visit the website www.haltonhillsfootball.com.
