Submitted photo It's going to take a few more games for the rivalry between the Halton Hills Bulldogs and Brampton Excelsiors to attain bitter status, but the Ontario Jr. B Lacrosse League South East Di- vision teams are just getting to know each other. The first-place Bulldogs improved to 8-1 this season with a 14-12 vic- tory at home Saturday night over a stubborn Excelsior side that made the move to the East Conference from the West in the off-season. In just the second meeting be- tween the clubs, the Bulldogs, who for many years were affiliated with the Jr. A Excelsiors, held leads of 8-3 and 12-8 only to have the visitors come back each time to keep the result in doubt until the final seconds. Adam Charalambides keyed the Halton Hills offence with five goals and three assists, while Connor Brown also had an eight-point night, which included a hat trick. Owen White (2), Campbell Parker (2), Jesse Oliver and Matt Hodgins, with an empty-netter rounded out the goal scoring. Georgetown's Cody Menzies had three goals and three assists for the 6-4 Excelsiors. The Bulldogs traveled to Markham Wednesday night to face the 6-3 Iron- heads, followed by home dates with the Gloucester Griffins Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and the Nepean Knights Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Alcott Arena. High school teams in playoff push Tara Godfrey's first try of the season came in timely fashion Tuesday as it capped a euphoric comeback by the Georgetown Rebels in their 29-24 win over Oakville's Loyola Hawks in senior girls' rugby post-season play. Trailing 24-12 early in the second half, the Rebels rallied with tries by Taylor Richard and Emily Annabelle to tie the score before the flanker God- frey broke away for the clinching score to claim the Halton Secondary School Athletic Association senior girls' AAAA championship. Scrum-half Samantha Martin added two first-half ties for the Reb- els, who'll now face A/AA champ Jean Vanier of Milton on Thursday after- noon in Burlington for the HSSAA Tier 2 title. Meanwhile, Christ the King's senior girls' rugby side entered uncharted ter- ritory this spring, finishing as HSSAA Tier I finalists, advancing to the Gold- en Horseshoe semifinals and taking top spot at the Bishop Reding tourney. Led by captains Kennedy Wa- tchorn, Britney More and Sofia Mor- son, the Jaguars lost to powerhouse Oakville-Trafalgar in the Halton AAAA final, but nearly earned a rematch with the Red Devils for the GHAC crown after getting edged out by Hamilton's Jean de Brebeuf 33-21 in the semifinal. Head coach Mary DiMarco named Meghan Sipos, Caitlin Gallacher, Jade Green, Megan Caissie and Sara Duklas as her MVPs. SOCCER: Antonio Sereno and Kristian Ceko scored for the top-seed- ed CtK senior boys as they downed the Loyola Hawks 2-0 on Monday to clinch another Halton AAAA title at North Park in Oakville. The Jaguars took on Hamilton's Cardinal Newman late Wednesday in the GHAC quad-A final with an OFSAA berth at stake. In Monday's girls' AAAA final in Oakville, Loyola defeated CtK 1-0 but the Jaguars were still in OFSAA conten- tion heading into Wednesday's GHAC semifinal against host Bishop Ryan in Hamilton. BASEBALL: CtK's boys let an early lead slip in the Halton final against de- fending champion Notre Dame of Bur- lington on Monday and lost 9-4, but the Jaguars still had a shot to qualify for OFSAA Wednesday afternoon in Hamilton against Bishop Tonnos in the GHAC semifinal. The Jags held a 4-0 lead after two innings against Notre Dame thanks in large part to a three-run double by Adam Lencz. CtK advanced to the HSSAA championship game by de- feating Georgetown 7-2 in the semifi- nal last Thursday at the Fairgrounds. The TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games are coming!

Bulldogs edge Excelsiors Sartoretto springs to Eastern Canadian title Georgetown's Jenna Sartoretto has had an excellent run of spring results in gymnastics and recently captured the Eastern Canadian Champion- ship for her age group. The 10-year-old Futures Gym- nastics national program member soared to the all-around title in the CPN Elite category at the Eastern Ca- nadian meet in Moncton, N.B. ear- lier this month while also helping the Ontario contingent claim the overall team gold medals. Already this year, Sartoretto com- peted at the Canadian Pre-novice elite level, placing first all around at Tour Select in Toronto and the pre- tigious Gymnix meet in Montreal, while also taking second all-around at the provincial championships in Windsor in April. This runner-up finish earned her a spot to represent Team Ontario at the Eastern Canadian Champion- ships for her division. Sartoretto is in her third year at Futures under coach Toni Norman. She attended Sacre Coeur Elemen- tary School in Georgetown South but is now in the Holly Crest high-per- formance program in Toronto to ac- commodate her gymnastics training.
