'Horns win big, face battle of undefeated teams The O akville L onghorns im proved to 4-0 on the y ear in N orthern Football C onference action on Saturday w ith a 73-13 pasting o f the S udbury Spartans. O akville led 52-0 at the h alf en route to the w in. T he second h alf w as played on straight tim e. Sudbury dropped to 1-3. O f interest, M arkham also im proved to 4-0 on the w eekend w ith a 37-0 w in over expan sion M ilton. M arkham w ill host the O akville Longhorns this Saturday (June 29), 7 p.m . at M arkham C entennial field in a battle o f the league's only tw o rem aining undefeated teams. "W e're playing fo r first place this w eek end," said `H orns coach Tony M olnar. H e m anaged to catch the first h alf o f M arkham 's win over M ilton and said they looked to be "bigger, faster and stronger" then the past tw o years. T he `H orns lay claim to the best am ateur senior tackle football team in C anada, having w on the last nine N FC league and playoff cham pionships as w ell as the last tw o national cham pionships they have played in. W ith that kind o f dom inance, it's no sur prise that they boast all three o f this year's N FC H all o f Fam e inductees, and they w ere honoured at last S aturday's game. A ll three have helped fashion the current streak o f nine straight N FL cham pionships. Two are going in as players -- Craig M itchell (1985-95) and Jam ie W ootton (198995). A nd one as a builder -- current coach Tony M olnar (1992-98, 01). A gainst Sudbury, the `H orns w ere equally devastating through the air and on the ground w ith a com bined 10 touchdow ns evenly split betw een the two. N ine w ere converted by D ana Segin and the other w as a successful tw o-point conver sion. The only other `H orn scoring play w as a tw o p o in t safety to u ch c re d ited to A1 Cam pbell. F our players had tw o touchdow ns each. R ick R odrigues caught tw o T.D. passes (17 & 41 yards) as did A1 K aw a (5 & 1 yard) and D erw in Phillips had tw o rushing m ajors (31 & 10 yards). C had K ennedy had a T.D. reception (15 yards) and a rushing T.D. (9 yards). The rest o f the T.D .'s cam e on the ground from R ick A ndrade (6 yards) and R ay Skete (1 yard). It w as another outing in w hich the `H orns w ere able to roll through their entire bench. Lang: `what an opportunity' (Continued from page C8) Little League teams at SkyDome A couple o f O akville Little L eague `m ajo r' division house league team s w ill experience the thrill o f a life tim e on Friday. T he D iam ondbacks and B lue Jays w ill play their scheduled gam e on Friday m orning, June 30, 9 a.m ., at the SkyD om e, courtesy o f the Toronto B lue Jays. Little L eague m om , L ise C uom o, sealed the deal by selling one hundred tickets to a B lue Jay gam e, and to say the boys are enthused, w ould be putting things mildly. E ntrance to the Skydom e is at G ate 7. So how does a 15-year-old m ake such a com m itm ent w hile still in school? Lang, w ho has ju st com pleted G rade 10 at St. Thom as A quinas, said she com pletes m uch o f her assignm ents while on the road or abroad, and that it has helped that her parents and teachers have been understanding and supportive. "I do a lot o f m y w ork w hile I'm aw ay and hand it in w hen I com e back. I have a com puter I bring w ith me, and sometim es I get m y assignm ents over the Internet," she said. Lang said that o f all the pressures that com e w ith being on the national team, the biggest challenge is staying focused and not taking it for granted. "I ju st have to m ake sure I realize w hat an opportunity this is," she said, adding that eventually she w ould like to play for a university south o f the border, like m any o f her national teammates.

She is interested in pursuing work for a magazine or ad agency. "I would like to thank the staff of the Oakville Beaver as well as the local businesses who made this endeavor possible, putting their faith and encouragement into this invaluable hands-on learning experience." In addition to providing temporary work experience, co-op placement can help students to make decisions about their future careers and gain confidence in making the transition from post-secondary education to the real world of work.
