Child currently leads the league in digs averaging 5.53 per set.

Parkins was exceptional for Durham in its decisive 45-12 semifinal victory over Seneca on Nov. 3.

In addition to his sure-tackles, Parkins has come on as an offensive weapon, scoring two tries in the semifinal win, helping the Lords secure a berth to the OCAA gold medal match for the second year in a row. The championship finale takes place Nov. 10 at Georgian.

A key three-point shot late in the game put the Condors ahead and they never looked back to seal the win.
