"I hate Canadian winters," chuckled Stefanoff, who was an instrumental figure in helping the White Oaks team finish with a 5-1 record in Halton Secondary School Athletic Association play. Stefanoff figures the deal will be worth between $7,000 and $8.000 US. per year. That's nice, but mostly she just wanted to go to a place where the temperatures are warmer year-round. It's about a 17-hour drive from home but Karen Stefanoff isn't bothered in the least about the prospect of slinging softballs in tiny Harrogate, Tenn. (pop. 2,000). The 18-year-old White Oaks Secondary School student has agreed to play softball for the Lincoln Memorial University Railsplittcrs (Div.ll) starting next year on a dual academic/athletic scholarship. ...while softball pitcher warms up to Tennessee "lt's (campus) really nice down there and the facility (basketball) is great," continued Robertson who's "lt should be pretty good there," said the (Hoot-6. 225-pound. native of Toronto, who moved to Oakville with his family as a Gmde10 slu- dent.

Last season with the Red Devils, Robertson averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds, four blocked shots and two dunks per game, according to coach Peter Reset. Robertson signed 'the letter of intent recently after visiting the campus and scrimmaging with the team and other incoming freshmen in mid-April. arship with Div. ll Florida Southern College, a deal is worth about $l4,000 (U.S.) a year.

[ Kelly Gentleman has gotten a lot out of sports at White Oaks Secondary School so she figures it's only fair that she put something back into the system. There was no doubt the l7-year-old Grade 12 student was a star forward for the Wildcats' senior basketball team and striker for the soccer team, but it was her enthusi- asm and dedication to athletic events and projects that put her over the top in receiving this year's Oakville Beaver High School Female Athlete of the Year Award. As chairperson for special events on the school's athletic council. Gentleman relishes the idea of working behind the scenes to make things run smoothly at the school. "I like a lot of responsibility and seeing things through from start to finish," she says. "You get to work with other people from different age groups...You learn to work well as a team and rely on other people." Greg Sora, Oakville Trafalagar's head of physical education and Wagner's coach in both volleyball and rugby, says the award couldn't have gone to a more deserving person. Wagner is intelligent (he's pulled off 100 four times in math courses and 99 Continued on Page 24 The huge trophy looked a little unwieldly in his arms and he had a difficult I time cracking a smile for the camera, shifting nervously from side to side. With his modest ways and preference to remain in the background, recogni- tion can be uncomfortable for Oakville Trafalgar's Patrick Wagner, named the Oakville Beaver's 1993-94 Male High School Athlete of the Year. The award is for all-around excellence - proficiency in sports, the classroom and character. This year, the 19-year-old was a setter for the school's senior volleyball team. a guard/forward for the senior basketball squad and a fly-half for the Halton champi- on and OFSAA runner-up senior rugby team. But trying to get Wagner to talk at length about his exploits is like trying to get water out of a stone "I was kind of surprised (to win the award)," Wagner said softly.

Stefanoff started playing baseball at the age of five, joining a T-ball league in Mississauga. The S-fool-3 righthander describes herself as a finesse pitcher, and not one who blows batters away with blazing fastballs. Stefanoff has also pitched in the Cawthra rep system for eight years.
