In their first game, the Rebels played superb defense as they rolled over Dunbarton 16-0 to put themselves into the final match against Pickering, the team that earlier in the week had handed Port a 23-0 defeat in the LOSSA final, the only time this season the Rebels have been on the low end of a final score. * But on Friday, the Rebels got their revenge as they downed Pickering 23-14 in a bruising affair. They did it the hard way after trailing 14-10 at the half. With the wind at their backs in the second, the Rebels used the strong kick to move the ball downfield in scoring position. And just as important, they were able to shut down the Pickering offense. The OFSSA tournament in Sarnia June 2 and 3 will bring together the top 16 high school rugby teams in the province. Four will advance to the finals on day two, This is the first time ever that a team from PPHS has onships. Pickering High School will also be at OFSSA as both the DYSSA gold and silver medal winners qualify. Rebel head coach Brian Armstrong said after Friday's game that PPHS and Pickering should do well at the OFSSA tournament "a In A Park Somewhere Jb Hhughoon, Sportscaster The Sports Network When he'd only played ten games, people were trying to think of a nickname for Carlos Delgado. A month later, the same people don't want 10 see his name in the Blue Jays' lineup at all. Carlos, it seems, is a victim of his own success The most talked-about Blue Jay prospect in years lived up to his advance billing this spring, making the team at an unfamiliar position in left field and hitting big-league pitching like he was Joe Carter Deigado hit home runs off Skydome restaurant windows in his first two games and eight of his first 11 major league hits were homers. Carlos was the toast of Toronto and everyone took notice, especially his opponents By mid-May, Delgado had seen a nasty assortment of pitches they don't throw in the minors and was still stuck on exght home runs. He could barely muster a base hit but still smiled and stayed positive "I'l got through this," he was saying after some exira batting practice. "Tve been in slumps before. The only difference this time is that everybody makes a big deal out of it. I've been getting so much help from everyone that I'm thinking too much. | just have 10 see the ball and hit it" That's pretty much what Deigado's been doing since he first picked up a bat in Aguadila, Puerto Rico. A caicher at age seven, because he was the biggest! kid on the diamond, Carlos was good al whatever he tried. He was an honour student, a good swimmer and volleyball player and a baseball star. Scouts flocked 10 his games by the time he was 15 and the Biue Jays were successiul in signing him as a 16-year-old in 1988 The next summer he took his bat, and just enough English to order food, to rookie ball in St. Catharine's Ontario, where a sensational minor league career began Three times in four years he was MVP on his team and made it 10 the big leagues a year ahead of time without a stop in Triple A He carries a big bal, a broad smile and though he's struggled al the plate, he's worked hard learning his new position with the help of eam-mate Devon White and the occasional tip from home "My dad is a baseball freak. When | was ite, he helped me work out and had all sorts of baseball books and videos and | jus! wanted to play volleyball * Carlos said, grinning, making it perfectly clear his dad's a pal "Sometimes lately | dont want 10 call home. Especially after a TV game 'cause | know he was waiching and will have seen things in my swing. He means well and. hey, he's my dad * While his father is miles away, Carlos' bigges! supporter in Canada is his manager, Cito Gaston. "When we played an exhibition game against our Triple A team (in Syracuse), Carlos stood out like King Kong. He's in the right place. he jus! needs some time * Time he'll ikely get, just as batting champion John Olgrud did when he scuffed through his first couple of big-league seasons in the meantime, Delgado remains one of the most upbeat players in the Blue Jays' clubhouse, even if he's not hitting homers 10 restaurants.
