SPORTS & LEISURE High school roundup 23 Independent & Free Press, Thursday, November 4, 2010 Perfect Jags to open playoffs against Central Hayden Gaskill-Cadwallader rushed for two touchdowns as Christ the King's junior Jaguars defeated host White Oaks 21-15 on Tuesday to complete the school's first-ever unbeaten gridiron season. The Jags finished the Halton Secondary School Athletic Association Tier III regular season with a 6-0 record and will be the top seed for the playoffs, hosting Burlington Central on Wednesday, Nov. 10 at 3:30 p.m. at a yet-to-bedetermined location. Eric Putnins also found the end zone for CtK Tuesday. In senior action, the Jaguars downed White Oaks 24-6 Tuesday to go into the post-season at 4-2 and as fourth seed they'll also host a firstround matchup next Wednesday against #5 Robert Bateman at 1:30 p.m. Wings clip Jr. A Raiders once again The Georgetown Raiders likely hit their low point of this Ontario Jr. Hockey League campaign Monday night, a 7-2 loss in Hamilton against the surging Red Wings. It's the first time this season that the 14-6-0 Raiders have lost two straight games after being nipped by the Wings at home 4-3 last Saturday. Hamilton led 2-1 after the first period Monday, then outshot the visitors 27-13 in the middle stanza to take control of the contest, scoring once on a five-minute tripping penalty to Georgetown captain Scott Wilson. Duston Hebebrand and Travis Fulton scored for the Raiders, who will be without Wilson, winger Evan Rodrigues, defencemen Matt Chiarantano and Tyler McCarthy for the next five games as they represent Team Canada East at the World Jr. A Challenge tournament in Penticton, B.C. The Red Wings and Burlington Cougars are now a point ahead of Georgetown in a tie for top spot in the OJHL's West Division. After tonight's (Thursday's) trip to Brampton to face the Capitals, the Raiders will play five of their next six games on home ice, where they've won seven of nine starts this season. On Saturday, Georgetown hosts the Canadian Jr. Hockey League's fifth-ranked team, the Markham Waxers, who have won seven straight games and are 19-3-0 overall. Game time at the Alcott Arena is 7:30 p.m. The Raiders, who are 15th in this week's CJHL rankings, acquired 16year-old forward Anthony Cortellessa from the Oakville Blades on Monday. The 5-foot-10, 178-pounder from Etobicoke had an assist in his debut with Georgetown Monday to match his point totals in six appearances with the Blades. Basketball All three local girls' teams that qualified for the playoffs were bounced out of the HSSAA's Tier I quarterfinals on Tuesday afternoon. Georgetown's sixth-seeded senior Rebels were edged out by third-ranked Bishop Reding in Milton 45-41, while CtK's senior Jags lost on home court to Holy Trinity 48-41 in a matchup of the fourth- and fifth-place teams. Camilla Paluch had 19 points for the Jaguars. Trailing 21-11 heading into the fourth quarter, the junior Rebels cut visiting Notre Dame's lead to two points but couldn't equalize and lost 25-21.

The Guyanese side, which has made great strides since being established just last year, lost all three of its games at the tournament and will not advance. Guyana was on the short end of results against Canada (8-0), Mexico (7-2) and Trinidad & Tobago (4-1). Greenwell misses out Robbie Greenwell's first crack at PGA Tour Qualifying School came up short but the Georgetown resident can't wait to try again next year. The 24-year-old Club at North Halton member opened the 72hole tournament at the Club at Irish Creek course near Charlotte, N.C. with a round of even-par 71, then slipped out of contention after shooting 76-74-73 to finish 66th, 13 strokes back of the top 23 players who will move on to the second of three stages of qualifying. Greenwell will now return to the Canadian Tour for a second season in 2011. or PURCHASE FINANCING 0.9 UP TO 60 MONTHS ON SELECT MODELS % ¥ CASH REBATES ON OTHER SELECT MODELS UP TO $ OR 6,000 ACT NOW! www.georgetownhonda.ca Serving Georgetown for over 30 years!
