Rebels dominate on court Continued from pg. 17 defence and passing plays are great, but our offence actually wasn't where it normally is. We don't know anything about Cardinal Newman but I'm sure they'll be a tough team and we'll have to be at our best." Kills by Megan Shantz and the consistent serving of Emma Schreiber keyed the Georgetown rallies in the clinching set. With three junior-aged starters in their lineup, O-T's Red Devils will likely be favoured to be this region's champion next year, but this season's junior Rebels showed Friday that their undefeated season bodes well for GDHS's volleyball future, too. Georgetown's juniors swept away Burlington's Notre Dame in two straight games to successfully defend their Halton crown. Led by co-captains Casey McFadyen and Grade 9 student Tory McCracken, the Rebels also placed third in the Sweet 16 tournament a couple of weeks ago, which featured some of the best teams in Ontario. Christ the King's Brittney Cosmo is stymied by the blocking mitt of Notre Dame goalie Lindsay Baxter during the second period of their Halton high school girls' hockey playoff semifinal Monday at the Alcott Arena. The first-place Jaguars were upset 2-1 by Notre Dame, concluding their season.

Finishing seventh in the Halton Tier I standings during the regular season with a 4-5-0 record, Notre Dame beat second-place Nelson last week in the quarterfinals and employed a defensive system that didn't allow Jaguar shooters many good opportunities to score. Lauren Gilpin scored for CtK on a deflected point shot with just over four minutes left in the third period but the 6-0-4 Jaguars couldn't find an equalizer. A booming Brittany Westlake shot Georgetown Rebels' Katie Banks (7) blasts a spike past Oakville-Trafalgar's Caitlin Cross (10) and Jenny Pierce during the Rebels' 25-13, 25-17 win in the Halton senior girls volleyball final Friday at Sheridan College.

The frustrated Jaguars can take solace in the youthfulness of their lineup as there's currently just one Grade 12 student, Sam Hawkins. "We've got some excellent Grade 11s who could possibly play junior next year so they might be gone, but there's a great group of Grade 9s there too," said CtK assistant coach Mike Depelsmaeker. "The thing is, our school just keeps getting more and more students and we seem to have a bigger pool to choose from every year."
