Nunes secures yet another Ontario gymnastî ,cs medal Pre-teen daims bronze in Division 4 Keanu Nunes' provincial medal streak goues on. Despite facing gytnnasts up to three years bis senior at the Ontario championsbips at Mississauga's Hershey Centre, the just-turned 12-year-old Miltonian made bis fourth straight trip to the podium, securing overaîl bronze in the Level 4 i 1-to-15-year-old boys division. Making the third-place finish ail the more impressive is the fact that the Mississauga Tearo Futures competitor missed two months of the season with a broken ankle. Gradually improving since bis return, the local pre-teen delivered some season-hîgh efforts at provincials, but unfor- tunately couldn't quite upstage silver medalist Alex Danahy of Oakville, who also stepped things up to, a litile over haîf a- point ahead. "I1 thought I did well, but am happy the provincials are over," said Nunes, refer- ring to bis toughest season to date. A model of consistency ti Mississauga, the perennial con tender medaled in all but one event - with his best performance in parallel bars, Keanu Nunes Jonathan Scripnick wbich was good enough for sil- ver. He took third in four other events, încluding vault and floor - where he made the mosi progress this season. Said Nunes, 1I was able to do the full twist on vault, which was somethîng I'd been workîng bard on." The Ontario bronze ntedalist now returos to the Eastern Canadian championships early next month in Montreal, where for the first tinte this season be'll compete in the i 1-to-13-year- old division. Club-mate Jonathan Scripnîck fared well in bis provincial debut, placing fifth overaîl in the eighî-year-old boys class. Persevering through ilI- tîmed illness, the recently- turned nine-year-old finished fourth on parallel bars, fifth on high bar and pommel horse, sîxîh on rings, sîxth on floor and eighth on vauli. That cttncludles a solid sea- son for the youngster, who highlighted bis provincial quali- fying campaign with all-around silver at meet two in Windsor.

Able to avert the disastrous start they suffered in semnifinal play two days earlier, St. Peters jumped out to an 8-0 lead and showed a fair amount of intensiîy the entire way in its 43-35 defeat. But in the end the Panthers just couldn't neutralize Sacred Hearîs hard-charging point guard, who was hîghly effective at dnivîng to the net and producing in close. Closîng out a rock-solid playoff mun, co-captatos Mikey Borlongan and Josh Berza eachi bit double digits with 14 and 10 points respectively Daymon Oliveros delivered soine impressive defence, while rounding out the staruing fîve were Luke Brandreth and Connor Prince, who helped St. Peters reach Halions final four for the first tinte in nearly a decade. Addîng a regional inedal to their haul just wasn't in the cards for Holy Rosary either. The four-trne north Halton champs were consistent throughout the evental 32-24 loss to Sacred Heari, recording six points in each quarter. With co-captain and offensive cor- nersione Rose Serafîni stili hohbled by a leg injury sustained in quarterfi- nial play, Marie Maranan stepped up and led the Hawks with a dozen points.
