Rebels, Bearcats fall to consolation round at OFSAA

The Georgetown Rebels and Acton Bearcats made it to the consolation round of the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations' (OFSAA) senior boys' volleyball championships on the weekend before both were eliminated in tight matches. Seeded eighth out of 20 teams at the OFSAA AAAA tournament in Barrie, the Rebels went 1-3 in their preliminary-round pool, with all three match losses requiring a third-and-deciding set. Georgetown's seniors also swept Barrie Eastview to at least gain a berth in the tourney's consolation quarterfinals, where they defeated Sir John A. Macdonald of Toronto 25-16, 25-20. In the semis, the Rebels faced their arch-rivals from Oakville-Trafalgar, and as was the case during their meetings at tournaments and in the Halton championships this fall, the Red Devils prevailed in the deciding game 15-13. O-T went on to claim the consolation title. At Dryden, the Golden Horseshoe-champion Acton Bearcats also had a 1-3 mark in the preliminary pool of the OFSAA AA senior boys' tournament and were eliminated from further play in the consolation quarter-finals by Perth, 22-25, 25-21, 12-15.
