SCHOOLS: Rugby team moves to AAAA ranks BY MICHAEL HAYAKAWA mhayakawa@yrmg. com The big question facing the Stouffville District Secondary School Spartans senior boys’ rugby team entering this season was whether they could play at the AAAA level. The Spartans will compete at the AAAA level due to an increase in school popula- tion this year after having been a AA entry in the past. Taking to the McMaster University pitch to play in a tournament against some of the top AAAA level teams last week, the Spar- tans alleviated any doubts. In fact, they reached the ï¬nals in their eight-team division and gave Lorne Park (Mississauga) a run for its money before surrendering a try on the last play of the game to lose 7-0. “This deï¬nitely showed that we could play with AMA-level teams,†said Spartans head coach Jamie Hewitt. “In the past we've played against AMA-level teams, but it would only be in toumaments. Now we'll be seeing them more and more since we’re competing at that level. “Themg really not much difference. It shows we’re ready.†The Spartans won their opening game over Bradford 22-5.

Jesse Lofthouse booted one convert. Advancing to the semiï¬nal, the Spartans trailed host Saltfleet for most of the game before Lofthouse scored a try on the ï¬nal play of the match and booted a convert to propel Stouffville to a hard-fought 7-5 win. Hewitt credited the play of their defence in enabling them toArAeglch the ï¬lial. The Spartans‘ solid defensive play stemmed largely from their recent March break tour to play friendlies against schools from England and Wales. “It was Very good," he said. “Our offence is just coming around}: _ “It was huge," Hewitt said. “We were used to playing physical teams and the kids told (the Spartans coaching staff) that it wasn‘t as hard or physical (in the Saltfleet Tournament) as it was when we played in England. “That too: deï¬nitely toughened us up." The Spartans were to have played an exhibition game yesterday in Cannington against Brock High School. . n The ï¬rst league game is slated for April 27 when the defendingYork Region Athletic Association champions play Markham at Bill Crothers Secondary School in Union- ville at 2:30 pm.

Resembling a contingent that had been together for several years, the team of players from Stouflville, Markham and Uxbridge served, spiked and dug their way to the gold medal at last weekend’s Ontario Volleyball Association championships in Waterloo. The Stingers ciaimed {he top prize after quickly dis- posing of Scarborough Titans Omicron 2-0 (25-16, 25- 18) in the championship ï¬nal. 7 Mike Lyrich, who co-coaches the team with Nikki MacKinnon, felt his club’s grit was a key component in their run to the title. “I told them, ‘you never know when you may get to that point again in volleyball and have a chance to win something that big so play your hardest and hold nothâ€" ing back’. They certainly did that and more. They are an extremely close team and it showed this weekend.†n The Stingers' biggest challenge came in the semiï¬nals when they faced the Aurora Storm Bolts, who were c0- ranked as the top team in the championships. The Stingers prevailed 2-1 (25-17, 18-25, 15-11). Team members included: Alexa Torrington, Alyssa Harding, Erin Lee, Jaime Fox, Katerina Dimov. Kelsey Fuchs, Lauryn Renzella, Monda Shokri, Rhyena Miller and Sarah Ali.
