Photo by Eamonn Maher Versatile Wilkinson set for new role at Laurier A quarterback during his recently completed time at Georgetown District High School, Cam Wilkinson has some studying to do for a change of position with Wilfrid Laurier University's varsity football team. But then, the 18-year-old Wilkinson is used to adapting to different roles as an aspiring actor who is enrolled in Lau- rier's fi lm studies program, and one day hopes to also become a showstopper in the Golden Hawks' defensive backfi eld. "Even in high school, I was getting razzed by guys on the football team about being cast as Vince Fontaine in (GDHS's student production of) Grease," laughed the 6-foot-1, 185-pound Wilkinson, who has had bit parts in movies and TV shows and also done some modeling. "I've committed to acting. That's my dream and it's something I want do be in- volved with, whether that's a fi lm critic or working in an agency or being a drama teacher. We'll see where it takes me." As a member of the Georgetown Rebels' senior gridiron squad last year, Wilkinson saw plenty of playing time on both sides of the ball for a team that start- ed the season 0-3. But the short-staffed Rebels rallied, with Wilkinson scoring two touchdowns and providing excellent defence in a 19-13 upset of third-place St. Thomas Aquinas of Oakville in the fi rst round of Halton Tier II playoffs. "Cam's not a huge guy but the way he'd hit guys, every hit seemed like a monster hit," said Morrissey, who has also re- cruited Christ the King students Haydn Gaskill-Cadwallader and Tudor Bertiean to come to Laurier starting this fall. "Cam's a smart player who I saw play many different positions well-- lineback- er, defensive back, running back. Univer- sity players usually end up changing po- sitions a lot. Some guys come in thinking that they're going to play this and it ends up being that, so the fact Cam's already played in different spots bodes well for him in terms of opportunities." Wilkinson took part in Golden Hawks' intra-squad game earlier this month will line up this summer for the North Hal- ton Crimson Tide club program's varsity squad, which he missed playing with last year' during their run to an OMFL title due to work commitments. The Tide has helped produce several Canadian univer- sity players the past few years. "I want to go down to Laurier in two or three years and see multiple Georgetown players on the fi eld," added Morrissey. "I've told people that this is my town and I want to get all these players so that pretty soon we'll be calling them the Hal- ton Hills Golden Hawks." Not-so-mini achievement for Jaguars The Cheerforce Jaguars' All-Star Mini team from Georgetown were declared winners of the 7-9 age group after their performance at the recent provincial championships in Kitchener. Pictured above, from left, are: Isabelle Wilkinson, Olivia Somers, Nicole Harding, Danielle Blandford-Grosse, Samantha Harding. This group will also compete at the national championships May 11-12 in Niagara Falls and as a tune-up, took top spot in their category at the Spring Classic event last weekend (April 14) at the Pow- erade Centre in Brampton. The Cheerforce Jaguars had several teams fare well at the provincial meet, including the Large Senior squad, which won its division. The Small Seniors were runners-up, Junior placed four and Youth took fi fth spot in its category. Submitted photo By EAMONN MAHER Staff Writer
