The youngster and his dad Clay, a lifelong Saskatchewan Rough Riders' fan, had an idea during the summer to contribute video interviews of players to the Argos' fan-driven social media team called the Argos' Admirals and the team was so impressed it posted them on their website. Travis, a Grade 3 student at Holy Cross elementary school, became an official member of the Argos' Admirals after the first video appeared online. The CFL also re-posted the videos on their site and Chisolm ended up interviewing more than 20 Argos during the season, which ended in disap- pointment with a home playoff loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats last Sunday in Toronto.

The 17-year-old Christ the King Secondary School Grade 12 student put her signature on the National Letter of Intent to tee it up for the Wolf- pack's varsity women's golf team starting next fall and study sports management. A member of The Club at North Halton, Spencer was ranked 76th in North America in Golfweek/ Sagarin's Top 100 list of junior girls for the Class of 2014. After getting knocked out of last year's provincials in a heartbreaking fifth-set tiebreaker, the Georgetown Rebels are playing with an edge head- ing into the 2013 tournament this week in Mississauga. Georgetown's senior boys volleyball squad earned its second straight trip to the Ontario finals after defeating host Cardinal Newman three sets to one at the Golden Horseshoe Athletic Conference (GHAC) final in Hamilton last week. Seeded second out of 16 teams that qualified, the Rebels have dropped just one set in league and playoff ac- tion this season and anything less than a medal at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations' (OFSAA) AAAA championships would likely be viewed as a disappointment for coach Kyle Stewart's side. Many of his players recall vividly their OFSAA loss last fall to top-seeded Bill Crothers of Unionville in the quar- terfinals in five sets after third-ranked Georgetown led 2-1 at one stage. "A few of our kids have had the OFSAA experience already and that should help take care of a lot of the nerves they might have," said Stewart, whose Rebels earned bronze medals when the Ontario AAAA championship was played in Mississauga in 2007, los- ing to the hosts in the semifinals. "Last year we lost the first match to Brebeuf (York Region) and that set us back because we had to play a much tougher crossover in the quarters. It's OFSAA, so every team is going to be tough, but if we can get on a roll early and keep it going, we wouldn't play the top seed until the gold medal match." Preliminary-round games are set for today (Thursday), with Georgetown, as the GHAC representative, taking on Mississauga's Rick Hansen, York Mills and Westdale of Hamilton. Playoff rounds are set for Friday, with the championship match slated for 3 p.m. Saturday at Rick Hansen Secondary School. Senior Rebels have unfinished business at OFSAA This year's OFSAA AAAA senior boys' volleyball championships will be play out in Missis- sauga and the Georgetown Rebels are ranked as one of the top contenders in the 16-team field. Team members (from left) are: Assistant coach Keely Fawcett, Liam Henderson, Brenden Grose, Ken Kerr, Matt Toebes, Jake MacNeil, Owen Martel, Robbie Abrams, Marty Burwell, Reese Clare, Dylan Thring, Justin Albert, head coach Kyle Stewart.
