www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, November 7, 2013 | 30 Loyola's senior girls, Webb's junior boys crack top 20 continued from p.28 nine at the Golden Horseshoe Athletic Conference championships earlier this year. At OFSAA, Lysak, the Hawks' alternate, was 149th out of 262 runners. "We had a talk with them before (OFSAA) to set the stage for them and make them understand there would be girls in front of (them) and not to worry about it," said Celestini. "Don't get pysched out if you're not in the top 10. Sometimes they have that expectation because that's how they've run all season in invitational races and local races. Then they get to OFSAA and it's, `ugh, 50th'. I think that helped them realistically run the best race that they could and not give up on it." Loyola's senior girls' team also performed well. Led by Bridget O'Neill's 48th-place finish and Alex Ratcliffe's 59th-place showing, the Hawks finished 13th in team competition. "They've been a strong group all along and were a bit disappointed with their finish," Celestini said. "But as a team, they actually placed better than they did last year (18th)." Garth Webb's junior boys' team of Robert Scott, Brayden Tiels, David Gallant and Evan Notley finished 20th. Pair of Halton girls' basketball semis decided in overtime If there's one thing a two-year-old school lacks, it's rivalries. It can take years to build up a good, healthy dislike for another team. But the Garth Webb Chargers girls' basketball team is kickstarting the process. After just two seasons, the Chargers and the T.A. Blakelock Tigers have already squared off in enough key matchups to plant the seeds of a cross-town battle. Last year it was the Tigers interrupting Webb's undefeated season by topping the Chargers in the Tier 2 final, denying the school its first Halton championship. Tuesday, the Chargers delivered a little payback by downing Blakelock 60-56 in overtime in the Tier 2 semifinals to earn a return trip to the championship game. After Blakelock rallied to tie the game with less than 20 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, Webb returned to the play that had helped it build the lead -- "They didn't back down, they continued to press the ball and they stayed with it," Webb coach Dan Bonanca said -- and Priya Mehla and Samantha Murray hit key free throws down the stretch. Blakelock's 34-26 victory over Webb in the second week of the season dropped the Chargers to 1-2. Since then, they have won 10 in a row. That includes a 35-23 win over 10-1 Pearson -- their opponent NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE BEST BUY NOVEMBER 1 CORPORATE FLYER In the November 1 flyer, on page 1, the Samsung 60" 1080p 120Hz LED TV (Web Code: 10243921) was advertised as CinemaNow enabled, when in fact this TV does not have that capability.

Garth Webb wasn't the only team needing overtime to advance to tomorrow's finals. The White Oaks Wildcats saw their undefeated season hanging by a thread before edging Iroquois Ridge 57-54 in overtime to move on to the senior Tier 2 final. "It was one of the most exciting games I've been a part of," said White Oaks coach Allison Hoy. "It was pretty intense." The Trailblazers led throughout much of the semifinal, building as much as a nine-point lead and going into the break up by six. White Oaks finally gained some momentum in the fourth quarter, taking the lead for the first time. The Trailblazers tied the game 50-50, though, and then had a chance to win it when they were awarded two free throws with 0.8 seconds to play. White Oaks would survive as both shots were missed, sending the game to overtime. Courtney Bowyer delivered the big play of the extra session for White Oaks, making a layup and drawing the foul. With Iroquois Ridge keying on White Oaks' Vanessa Garcia and Kat Mioc, Geena Frew stepped up to deliver a team-best 17 points in what Hoy called "the best game I've ever seen her play." White Oaks will face the King's Christian Collegiate Cavaliers (7-2) in the final. The Cavaliers advanced with a 38-32 win over Robert Bateman. -- Herb Garbutt Eagles' opponent had won Tier 2 title in junior continued from p.29 and be just as dominant there."
