The fifth-year standout was recently named the Toronto Stars male high school athlete of the week after rushing for four major scores in one game for the undefeated senior Jaguar football team and hes often congratulated away from the field by fellow students and spectators whose names arent famil- iar to him. My teammates still give me a hard time about it. But its been fun, its nice, said the 18-year-old Rovere. Its good to be the quiet team that nobody talks about. You hear people on the radio (the FAN 590s Sunday morning high school show) discussing the best teams in Halton and were not even men- tioned. Thats okay. I know our whole team is hun- gry for a championship and I like being considered the underdog. Over the past couple of weeks, however, its Roveres injured ankle that has become the centre of attention at CtK as he suffered a sprain in a muddy 3-1 win over Holy Trinity during a recent home game in Georgetown. The 5-0 Jags, whose defence has allowed just 31 points in their five starts, are definitely no slouch without Rovere, as they beat Robert Bateman of Burlington 20-7 last week. But theyll face a couple of 4-1 teams on the road to finish up the regular season today (Friday) against St. Thomas Aquinas of Oakville and next Friday in Burlington versus the Nelson Lords likely without the shifty running style of the 5- foot-10, 170-pound Rovere. Hes our go-to guy and hes proven it with the nine touchdowns hes scored in three games, said Harris. When hes out, it certainly hurts. Were hoping to have him back for the last game of the season against Nelson, but its on a day-to-day basis. The encouraging part is that weve got some good replacements and guys have stepped up in Dans absence. Tyler Fram, David Green and David Pryztula scored the Jaguar touchdowns in last weeks tri- umph over Bateman, with Chris King kicking two converts in place of the injured Billy Pavlopoulos, who is expected to return to action shortly. Defensively, the Jags are led by Elliot Montag, Zach Fitterer, Fram, Green, King and Brendan Gallagher. The top four teams in the Halton Secondary School Athletic Association standings will qualify for the Division One playoffs in early November and CtKs seniors are hoping to host a semifinal playoff game if they can remain undefeated, along- side powerhouse Notre Dame of Burlington. The second tier of playoff participants could include the 2-3 Georgetown Rebels, who played at Holy Trinity yeasterday (Thursday) afternoon. Christ the Kings seniors won the Division Two HSSAA crown a couple of years ago in a thrilling victory over rival Georgetown and they came close to making the Division One final last season. The Jags elevation to contender status among the Halton heavyweights is due in large part to the guidance of head coach Harris, who was second runner-up for the Toronto Argonauts 2007 Leo Cahill Award. The award is given to volunteers involved with the grassroots development of high school football in the GTA region, which for Harris also included stints at Notre Dame and Assumption in Burlington. Its a great help to have the right people work- ing with the team and thats what we have here, said Harris. Its a big leap to have won Division Two a couple of years ago and then to be a con- tender in Division One pretty much right away. Were fortunate to have a group of people who have great interest in high school football and really care about it.

King was also called on to perform kick- ing duties for the 5-0 Jags in their 20-7 win.

The 10-2-0 Dogs had never beaten perennial powerhouse Oshawa in under-19 competition dating back to 2001, yet they beat the Blue Knights twice in one day-4-3 and 10-5-to secure first place in the Ontario Mens Field Lacrosse Leagues Division One. Halton Hills also defeated Brampton 9-4 to complete the regular season. The OJMFLL final four is set for Sunday at Mississaugas Hershey Fields, with the Bulldogs facing Niagara in one semifinal starting at noon, and Oshawa taking on Orangeville. The championship match will take place at 4:30 p.m. One of the two Halton Hills losses came against Niagara in week three of the season. In the results from the Halton Catholic District School Boards 2008 elementary cross-country running championships pub- lished in last weeks Independent & Free Press, the name of a race- winning Halton Hills athlete was omitted. Anthony Grillo of St. Brigids Catholic School in Georgetown South crossed the finish line first in the bantam boys division A category at the event held at Bronte in Burlington. The Independent & Free Press regrets the error. Runners name omitted For provincial tourney Under-19s are top Dogs
