He said his Oakville team didn‘t know what to expect going into the game since they hadn‘t met up with the Richardson division champs (who finished the regular season with an identical 7â€"1 record). "We knew we had to play our best. We were confident." Blakelock had previously won its divisional playoff game against E.C. With coach Jacquie Bale out on maternity leave, assistant coach Dan Hill has stepped to the fore to lead them through the playoffs. JUNIOR GAME The Iroquois Ridge team has to be considered a surprise since the school just opened this school year. With Georgetown expected to "double and triple block" Blakelock star and captain Dan Lewis, Pike said everyone is going to have to produce. Blakelock, which sported a 7â€"1 record in the Volpe Division, were giant killers of sorts last round, ousting the Richardson Division champion M.M. Robinson 2â€"1 in Thursday‘s semiâ€"final game. Indeed, the Toronto Raptors would be only to happy to repeat "They beat us but I wouldn‘t say convincingly," said coâ€"captain Cory Pike. "We had an off game. We didn‘t play to the best of our abiliâ€" ties." While conceding that Georgetown is "awfully tough", he said his teammates are confident. "We beat them 19â€"17 in the third game," said Pike, sheepishly. Hoping to mar those perfect records will be T.A. Blakelock in the senior game (5 p.m. start) and Iroquois Ridge in the junior game (3:30 p.m. start). Blakelock‘s only blemish league play this year was Georgetown. To do it, however, they will have to overcome the same obstacle â€" Georgetown District High School. Both the junior and senior Georgetown teams managed to compile an undefeated record in league play (the seniors were 8â€"0, the juniors 9â€"0) and keep it that way throughout the playoffs.
