The 3-0 Rebels, now tied with Frank Hayden S.S. for top spot in the Halton Sec- ondary School Athletic As- sociaiton's Tier II division, trailed the Eagles 21-14 late in the second quarter before ty- ing the score on the last play of the half. Jacob Mandel returned an interception 90 yards for a ma- jor score and backup QB Matt McDonough, in for an injured Mitch Spence, also connected with Lucas Fritz on a TD pass. Rayon Henry and Tyler Ward also picked off passes for the Rebels, who'll hit the road for the next three games, including a clash with Frank Hayden in two weeks. They also played at last- place Oakville-Trafalgar on Wednesday afternoon. In the senior game Thurs- day, GDHS blanked Oakville's White Oaks 21-0 as Aaron Stef- fens, Ryan Childs and Taylor Leonard scored touchdowns. Matt Latimer (2), Zach Jakab and Jake Spence recorded in- terceptions to punctuate a sol- id effort on team defence for the 2-1 Rebels, now tied with three other teams for second place in the Tier II standings. Meanwhile, CtK's seniors got into the win column for the first time this season after a 10-7 victory over T.A. Blake- lock in Oakville on Thursday. Blakelock led 7-0 at the half before Kieran Smerdon ran for a TD late in the third quarter and then placekicker Brandon Varela's 30-yard field goal put CtK in front with un- der two minutes remaining in regulation time. In the junior contest, the Jags earned their first victory as well, rambling to a 40-29 win over the Tigers as Bren- dan Smith rushed for four TDs and Lucas Scully added a pair of majors on the ground. This Thursday, the Jaguars will host their annual Pink Game in support of the fight against cancer, with Burling- ton's Nelson Lords visiting for a noon kickoff in the senior matchup and the juniors to follow. Members of the public can make donations to the 'Think Pink' fundraiser and CtK Pink Day items such as shirts, towels and socks can be pur- chased.

The Jaguars, a varsity team playing in the Tier II senior division, earned their first win of the season after Hana Mac- Donald's breakaway goal with about five minutes remaining in the match gave the hosts a 1-0 victory. CtK had a 1-2-1 record heading into its game Wednesday at Abbey Park in Oakville. Georgetown's senior Rebels have a loss and three ties from their first four games.

The 19-year-old captured top spot in the 2013 B Class after winning nine of 14 rac- es and decided to move up to the A Class this year against mostly new vehicles, while he relied on a home-built Aero2 that's been in the family for 24 years. Willis's father Keith and uncle Ian built the car, which won three Formula Ford Se- ries championships before being put away in storage in 2003. The Georgetown District High School graduate began driving the Aero2 in 2012 and used it to win the B class in 2013, and with little sponsor- ship support, chose to run it again this year in the A Class with its original Ford Kent motor under the hood. Willis said he may return to the Toyo Tires Series A Class next year or look south to the Formula 2000 Series in the U.S., but it all depends on the amount of sponsorship the team is able to drum up.

CRAIG WILLIS Breakthrough for Maciejko Baillinifad resident Wojtek Maciejko has qualified for the Canadian Masters champion- ships in bodybuilding on his third attempt and will com- pete in Edmonton in May. The 45-year-old native of Poland only took up the sport eight years ago and after win- ning a couple of events as an unknown, began to take his training more seriously. Maciejko earned a spot in the 2015 nationals by placing third at the Toronto Super- show earlier in the summer in the middleweight category, which served as the Ontario qualifying meet, with the top five moving on. A shoulder injury kept him from entering other events this year, but Maciejko says he's fully healed and expects to begin preparations for the Ca- nadian championships shortly. Usually in the heavyweight class, he also dropped down about 20 pounds to 182 for the Supershow. It may also be Maciejko's last competitive meet as he's opening a studio in his home in the next few months and would like to share his knowl- edge of fitness training with the public. "Training takes up such a big chunk of your life. In the past, my contest prep takes 20 weeks, but I'm starting before that for this one. (The nation- als) is something that I've al- ways been aiming for," he said. "Age is just a number to me and I'm not giving it up be- cause I'm too old or anything like that. I just want to train people so they can feel better about themselves."
