Girls basketball Notre Dame is the perennial power in Halton senior girls' Tier 1 hoops, having won five championships in a row. Holy Trinity beat the Irish during the regular season last year, but was unable to pull off another upset in the Halton final as Notre Dame prevailed 46-32. The Titans and Irish will be joined in Tier 1 this season by Loyola, Oakville Trafalgar, Abbey Park and seven other teams.

Aquinas and King's both competed at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) championships last year. FAMILIAR FOES: The Oakville Trafalgar Red Devils (in black and red) have met the Nelson Lords in the past two Halton junior girls field hockey finals, winning both contests 1-0. OAKVILLE BEAVER FILE PHOTO Irish likely favourite in girls hoops Continued from page 31 Cowboys split four weekend games Halton Cowboys rep football teams post- ed two wins and two close losses last week- end in Southwestern Ontario Football Alliance of Leagues action at Kings Christian Collegiate. The tyke Cowboys rolled to a 24-7 win over Hamilton, the atoms dropped a 32-27 decision to Brantford, the peewee white squad blanked Brantford 13-0 and the peewee red club fell 28-22 to Brantford on a last-minute score. In the tyke game, the Cowboys jumped out to an early lead on a pair of touchdowns by quarter- back Mason Arruda. Daniel Rhooms added two more majors for the Cowboys, whose defence was anchored by a strong effort from Matthew Guthero. Four touchdowns from Simon Black werent quite enough for the atoms, whose second-half comeback attempt fell just short. Braden Pinto had a 55-yard run in the second half, finishing five yards from the end zone. Christian McLaren and Tyrell Lawrence had solid games on defence, including a sack and fumble recovery from Lawrence. The peewee white Cowboys defence not only blanked Brantford, it also supplied the teams first touchdown of the game. Linebacker Lucas Montgomery recovered a fumble and took it 15 yards to the end zone, and the Cowboys later tacked onto their lead on a 45-yard TD pass from Dante Iacoviello to Alex Kew. Jack Berczi, Eddie De La Garzia, Montgomery and the Cowboys defence dominated the rest of the way. In the peewee red contest, Halton scored on its first drive as team captain Andrew McLean ran in for the score. The Cowboys carried a 14-6 lead into halftime before Brantford scored two straight majors to take a 20-14 lead. Halton regained the lead in the fourth quarter on a run by Garrett Holmes, but Brantford ral- lied for a TD with 20 seconds to go to sink the Cowboys. Registration for the Cowboys fall pro- gram is still open until the end of the week. Paul and Dan Dawsons days as National Lacrosse League teammates are over. Paul, the younger of the Oakville broth- ers, was traded to the Calgary Roughnecks last month. The Toronto Rock made a qualifying offer to Dawson, a restricted free agent. The Boston Blazers, Dawsons previous team, had the right to match the offer but traded those rights to Calgary for a draft pick. The Roughnecks then matched Torontos offer. Calgary will be the third NLL stop for Dawson, who was originally drafted by San Jose as a goaltender before making the switch to defender. Dawson had two goals and four assists in 16 games with Boston last year, scooping up 75 loose balls and accumulating 65 penalty min- utes. In four seasons, two each with San Jose and Boston, Dawson had five goals and 18 points, 156 loose balls and 118 penalty minutes in 49 games. Dawson brothers together no more Paul Dawson
