Dawson set up Curt Malawsky at the end of the first quarter as the Sting tied the game 3-3. He then scored one of Arizona's four straight goals to open the second quarter as Arizona built a 7-3 advantage. Calgary would fight back to tie the game early in the third quarter but Dawson again sparked the Sting, setting up Malawsky's power-play goal and then netting his second of the game just 28 seconds later. SPORTSBRIEFS Dawson, the Sting's leading scorer in the regular season, added his third goal of the game in the final quarter to seal the victory.

Sunken concrete slab Hinchcliffe cracks podium Concrete raising is a cost-effective alternative to replacing concrete. Concrete raising lifts sidewalks, streets, ramps, patios, pool decks, driveways, foundations, parking lots, garage floors and basements almost anything that's concrete. Its highly effective in commercial, municipal and residential situations. Concrete raising can usually be done for a fraction of the cost of pouring new concrete, however, the savings may be even greater since the costs of demolition, removal and landscaping are eliminated. Slabjacking, as it is known in the trade, can be completed quickly and economically with minimal disruption, a patio can be raised in the morning and be ready to use that very night!

"It was a good result in Texas," Hinchcliffe said. "Sierra Sierra did a great job to get both cars on the front row yesterday, it's just unfortunate that we couldn't turn it into a one-two finish at the checkered today." Hinchcliffe had finished second to teammate Raphael Matos in both qualifying sessions but was passed by Carl Skerlong in the first turn, dropping him to third. He remained there for the rest of the 43-lap race, finishing eight seconds behind Matos, who posted his third straight victory. The 20-year-old's best finish with his new team, Sierra Sierra Enterprises, moved him into third place in the Champ Car Atlantic driver standings. The series will take a six-week break before resuming in Portland, Oregan, where Hinchcliffe earned his first career victory last season. Provincial football tryouts The second of three tryout segments for the provincial under-17 and under19 football teams will take place Saturday and Sunday in Burlington. More than 200 hopefuls from across Ontario, including members of the area's Halton Invictas and Burlington Stampeders programs, participated in the initial tryout session earlier this month. Ontario Varsity League president and Ontario Football Alliance vice-president Jim Rion, Halton Invictas president Jack Crawford and Burlington mayor Cam Jackson were among the notables who attended the first weekend of tryouts. The Invictas, who have secured the rights to use Gary Allan High School in Burlington as their home base this season, are hosting the tryouts. A third camp, a single-day session, will be held May 5. Provincial team hopefuls must attend all three tryout segments in order to be considered. The coach of the Ontario U17 team, Ed Hewitson, is also the coach of the Halton Invictas junior team, which will open its season next month. Membership in the Invictas club, which plans to add a house league program next season, has swelled to 345 players this year. Ontario will battle other provinces at the annual Canada Cup tournament, scheduled for July in Laval, Que.
