In a nutshell, that describes the Glebe Collegiate Institute Gryphons girls’ water polo season.

In one word, it was: Perfect.

After finishing in first place in the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association regular season at 8-0, the Gryphons won all three playoffs game, including sweeping the best-of-three final over the Nepean High School Knights.

In a pair of tight matches, Glebe downed Nepean 7-6 in the opener and 8-6 in the second game.

Glebe roared to a 4-0 first-quarter lead in the second game and used possession and time management to protect the lead the rest of the way.

Sophie Laflamme powered the Gryphons with five goals, while singles were scored by Lia Richardson, Taylor Pioveson and Isobel Blakeney. Danielle Hirst paced Nepean with three goals and Victoria Armstrong, Rachel Munger and Maggie Douglas added one each.

In the opening game, Laflamme and Pioveson each counted two goals, while Lydia Duek, Jessica Ing and Richardson had one apeice. Three players took care of the Nepean scoring _ Munger, three; Hirsh, two; and Armstrong, one.

"Lia Richardson had to play shut down defence on their best player, Danielle Hirsh, as well as (serve) as playmaker and goal scorer for the offence," Glebe coach Doug Watters wrote in an e-mail.

He also was impressed with the play of Laflamme, who was a big factor in the decisive second game, and Piovesan, who contributed the game-winning goal in Game 1.

"Nepean had too many lapses on defence and was not able to shut down their big scorer, who netted five," Knights’ coach David McClintock wrote in an e-mail about the second game.

"Nepean won the last three quarters 5-4, but the damage was done in the first quarter."

While Hirsh scored five in the two-game final, she also excelled on defence, limiting Richardson to only two goals. Goalkeeper Julia McClintock was solid in net, while Kaitlyn Tourangeau played steady on both sides of the ball throughout the playoffs.

In the girls’ midget competition, Vanessa Gilles of Riel was runner-up in both the shot put, 7.90 metres; and discus, 13.88.

Riel’s Patrick Mondor had a pair of third-place results in the boys’ senior class in the shot put at 10.92 metres and discus at 25.00 metres.

Bailey McLuckie was Longfields-Davidson Heights’ top athlete, winning the boys’ midget 100 metres in 11.96 and finishing seventh in the 400 metres in 59.54. Longfields also was narrowly defeated by the visiting Pickering team in the 4x100-metre relay, 48.82 to 48.89.

Jessy Gravelle of Longfields was second in the girls’ junior discus, 21.25 metres, and third in the shot put, 8.00 metres.

St. Joseph also produced a few highlights in the girls’ senior division. Vanessa MacMillan was second in the 100 metres in 13.24, and fourth in the 400 metres in 1:02.20. In the field events, Alexa Sansoucy was second in the shot put at 7.09 metres and third in the discus at 13.62, while Britany Rotor was third in the shot put at 6.60 metres and fourth in the discus at 13.35 metres.

Emma Galbraith of Franco Quest had a productive day with a win in the girls’ senior 1,500 metres in 4:50.23, and third in the 400 metres in 1:00.24.

Kody Bradley of Woodroffe scored a victory in the boys’ junior shot put at 12.43 metres and was second in the discus at 35.86 metres.

His main competition was Jordan Downs of Osgoode, who won the discus at 39.04 metres and was second in the shot put at 11.09 metres.

Iman Al Roumani of Woodroffe had a double medal day with a second in the girls’ junior shot put at 8.26 metres and a third in the discus at 17.30 metres.

Clara Phillips of Brookfield won the girls’ junior triple jump in 10.41 metres and was second in the 80-metre hurdles to Hayes in 13.22.

Canterbury’s Sydney Currier was first in the girls’ junior 100 metres in 13.17 and third in the 400 metres in 1:03.82.

Seb Lalonde had planned to open the 2011 campaign staging the Louis Riel Open, the first meet of the season, inside the Dome at Louis Riel. But he was forced to cancel it because of a "low number of participants."

That didn’t sit well with Lalonde, the coach of the Louis Riel Rebelles and a track and field enthusiast.

"It’s really too bad that with six weeks to go until the outdoor season and one week to the (start of the) indoor season, most NCSSAA (National Capital Seconday School Athletic Association) schools still have a dormant track and field team," he wrote in an e-mail.

"This meet (Louis Riel Open) is the perfect meet for athletes to compete in the Dome before it gets somewhat chaotic with the Dome High School Series — which will max out the participation for every meet of the series.

"The Louis Riel Open is the ideal meet for athletes to evaluate their high school track objectives and re-evaluate their fitness level. Furthermore, it gives you coaches, a chance to find hidden talent and evaluate your training programs for the upcoming season. Now is your chance to start building your track and field team and get excited."

While the Louis Riel Open never happened, the popular Dome High School series is ready to go with four meets next month _ April 1, 7, 14, and 20.

They will be followed by the uOttawa high school invitational on April 28, and the National Capital high school invitational meet May 5.

The NCSSAA meets _ east conference, west conference and city championships _ begin the week of May 9.

COACH PROUD OF HILLCREST HOCKEY TEAM

Despite narrowly missing the quarter-finals at the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations boys’ hockey AAA/AAAA championship in Toronto, Hillcrest Hawks’ coach Robin Kerr was proud of the performance of his players.

The Hawks, who were seeded No. 18 out of 20 school teams, went undefeated in their four round-robin games _ three ties and one victory.
As a result, they tied for the second place with Michael Power Trojans of Toronto for the second and final quarter-final berth from their pool.

Under the tiebreaking system, championship organizers had to go to the third method to break the deadlock, after the first two couldn’t resolve the issue.

In the end, Power emerged the winner over Hillcrest.

"The boys were disappointed, but proud," Kerr said through an e-mail. "I felt of the three ties at least two of them we dominated, but did not have puck luck, including the game against Power."

If Hillcrest had defeated Power on Thursday, it would have won the berth in the quarter-finals outright.

"The boys played with discipline and skill and, although they came to the tournament hoping to do well, they left feeling they could have legitimately won this tourney," he added.

"I feel proud to have been associated with this group of boys for three years and have enjoyed watching them mature."

The hockey Hawks went undefeated in their four-game round-robin at the OFSAA boys’ AAA/AAAA championship in Toronto this week, but narrowly missed the playoffs.

Orangeville captured its final round-robin game Thursday against Denis Morris of St. Catharines to win its round-robin pool and Michael Power of Toronto had better numbers in the tiebreaker system than Hillcrest to get second place and another quarter-final berth.

Hillcrest needed a win over Power to secure their quarter-final spot outright.

During its NCSSAA season, Hillcrest won the AAA/AAAA pennant with a 9-1 record and followed with three convincing victories to secure the playoff title. The Hawks outscored St. Peter Knights (a one-game semifinal) and St. Joseph Jaguars (a two-game final sweep) by a combined 20-4 in the three games.

On the basketball court, Hillcrest won its first three games at the OFSAA boys’ AAA basketball championship before losing its last two playoff games.

After losing its semifinal to eventual champion Anderson 78-52, the Hawks bowed to Herman 70-66 in the bronze-medal game.

Hillcrest qualified for OFSAA by reaching the NCSSAA boys’ AAA/AAAA championship game. The Hawks lost to Sacred Heart Huskies in the city final, but went to the OFSAA AAA championships, while Sacred Heart played in the OFSAA AAAA tournament.

In its regular season, Hillcrest won the east division pennant with a 9-1 record. The Hawks scored the most points in the league at 692, but gave up the fewest in the east at 500, which was sixth overall in the circuit.

The Hillcrest girls’ senior volleyball team finished third in the central division at 6-4. The Hawks opened by winning five of their first six regular-season matches, but dropped three of their last four, winning only one game in the three losses during the best-of-five matches.

In the playoffs, Hillcrest edged Sir Wilfrid Laurier 3-2 in the preliminary round. Laurier finished at 7-3 and tied for third place in the east division.

But All Saints Avalanche, the eventual champion, eliminated the Hawks in the quarter-finals 3-2.

Group A: St. Peter Knights, Woodroffe Black, Rideau Rams, Notre Dame Silver Eagles, and St. John Spartans;

Group B: St. Peter Blue, Woodroffe Tigers, Lisgar Lords, Louis Riel Rebelles, and Lycée Claudel Polar Bears;

Group C: St. Pius X X-Men A, Colonel By Cougars, Ridgemont Spartans, Louis Riel, and St. Joseph Jaguars;

Group D: St. Pius X X-Men B, St. Paul, Omer-Deslaurier Phoenix, Gloucester Gators, and Hillcrest Hawks.

BROOKFIELD HIGH SCHOOL WANTS YOU

Robert Laderoute, the track and field coach at Brookfield High School, is looking for assistant coaches and equipment for the coming season. Here are a couple of notices recycled from the daily TriRudy.com newsletter:

* "If anybody is interested in coaching some high school athletes in track and field, I am looking for some help at Brookfield High School. Any area of expertise is appreciated. We will be practising Monday to Thursday, after school (3:30 p.m.) at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility at Mooney’s Bay. We will not be there until the snow is gone. This is a lot of fun and we have some exceptional athletes. It is hard for me to do it all alone. Even if you can come a couple of times; any help is appreciated. Contact me by e-mail, laderoute@rogers.com, or call me at 733-0610 ext. 637 (school). Thank you."

* "If anyone has some old track spikes from your track running days and would love to donate them to a school in need, please consider contacting me. We have a number of very talented students, who are not in a financial position to purchase spikes. So if we can collect a few to keep for the team, they will be put to excellent use. Thanks for considering this."

But if you check the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Assocations’ calendar, a select group of student-athletes and teacher-coaches are still thinking winter.

The third and final week of OFSAA winter sports championships begins Tuesday and runs through Friday, and Northern Ontario is a key destination.

During the first week of OFSAA winter sports championships, medals were presented and champions were determined in alpine and nordic skiing, snowboarding, swimming and wrestling.

The second week was reserved for boys’ basketball and girls’ volleyball.

This week is another two-sport focus with boys and girls’ hockey as well as boys and girls’ curling.

Competition begins Tuesday for the girls’ A/AA hockey and the girls’ AAA/AAAA hockey in Stratford.

The boys’ AAA/AAAA hockey championship opens Tuesday in Toronto, while the boys’ A/AA tournament starts Wednesday in Timmins.

The boys and girls’ provincial high school curling championships start Wednesday in Thunder Bay.

All five championships end on Friday.

Here’s a breakdown on the five OFSAA championships and who will represent Ottawa and Eastern Ontario:

At Timmins

* Renfrew Raiders, seeded 13th out of 20 teams; St. Paul Golden Bears, 19th;

At Toronto

* Hillcrest Hawks, seeded 18th out of 20 teams; Holy Cross of Kingston, 20th;

At Stratford

* Louis Riel Rebelles, fifth seed out of 16 teams; La Citadelle of Cornwall, sixth;

At Stratford

* Sacred Heart Huskies, third seed out of 16 teams; Napanee, eighth;

At Thunder Bay

* St. Mary of Brockville, second seed out of 20 teams; St. Paul Golden Bears, 17th to 20th;

At Thunder Bay

* Holy Cross of Kingston, seventh seed out of 20 teams; All Saints Avalanche, ninth.

The Gryphons finished their National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association regular season with a perfect 8-0 record, which will give them plenty of confidence entering the playoffs.

When it came to goals-for, and goals-against, Glebe was ranked first in both categories based on the incomplete standings posted on www.fatdog.ca.

Glebe scored 70 goals, while allowing only 14 in its eight wins, while runner-up Nepean Knights, 6-1, had 59 goals for and 15 goals against in their first seven games.

Strangely, there isn’t another school in the seven-team league that will emerge with a record above .500. All five of those teams _ Colonel By Cougars, De La Salle Cavaliers, Samuel Genest Laser, Immaculata Saints and John McCrae Bulldogs _ have allowed more goals than they have scored.

Glebe won four of its games by scoring 10 goals or more, It’s closest match was a 6-3 win over Colonel By.

Meanwhile on Thursday, the NCSSAA girls’ tier 1 volleyball season ended, when Philemon Wright Falcons defeated All Saints Avalanche 3-2.

Philemon Wright finished its regular season and playoffs with an 11-2 mark, while All Saints was 10-3.

In the past 30 years, he has been on the sidelines coaching student-athletes in soccer, hockey, basketball, volleyball, softball, track and field and badminton.

When he wasn’t coaching the students, he was serving as a mentor to young, up-and-coming high school coaches, providing them with encouragement and developing their confidence.

Inside the school, he promotes high school sports, trying to spark the interest in all students to be part of a sport in some means. He also offers leadership challenges to recruit new students in sports or seeks after-school "coaching helpers" to allow students to earn their 40 hours of community service.

For all of his work in athletics at Glengarry District High School, Sauvé was named as one of two recipients of the Coaches Association of Ontario’s School Sport Award.

Sauvé and Jackie Trudeau of Central Secondary School in London were selected by the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations. The presentation was made by Margarett Best of the Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport in Ontario at the Ontario Coaches Conference on Feb. 26 in London.

After many months of organization and pulling people together, the two-day Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations girls’ AA’ volleyball championship came to a successful conclusion Wednesday night at St. Joseph Catholic High School.

And for convener Mary Jane Gillier-Symes, there was one moment of absolute surprise.

Gillier-Symes, who was the convener for the 2007 OFSAA girls’ hockey, was awarded the OFSAA Leadership in Sport award for heading up her second provincial high school championship.

The award is presented at every OFSAA championship to a teacher-coach, who has made a significant contribution to the educational athletic program.

The winner exemplifies the values of fair play and good sportsmanship, while promoting enjoyment, personal growth and educational achievement through school sport.

Will Byker, a Grade 11 student at Seaway District High School in Iroquois, was named the character athlete of the month for December by the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations.

The announcement was made in OFSAA’s February e-newsletter.

Coach Lilace McIntyre nominated Byker because he consistently followed the values promoted by OFSAA, qualified for the OFSAA track and field championships, and demonstrated above-average commitment, perseverance and dedication.

Byker is involved in many extracurricular activities, is a quiet leader, a role model and maintains a high academic average.

"It has been an absolute privilege to work with this young man," McIntyre said.
