Atom Division
The
Sarnia Firefighters Association Razor Claws continue
to douse their opposition. This time it was against
the Sylvan Learning Centre Fire Bolts 30-6. The
Fire Bolts took the lead as Owen Piggott raced 27
yards to the end zone on their opening possession.
From then on, it was all Razor Claws, with Reilly
Dumond and Carter Grasse each scoring a pair of
touchdowns and Tyler Hopwood adding another. The
Razor Claw defensive line was outstanding, shedding
their blocks and causing chaos in the Fire Bolt
backfield all game.
The
Steeves and Rozema Shock Wave earned a date in the
championship game with a back and forth 24-18
victory over the Bill Dennis Exit Realty Twin
Bridges Inferno. For every touchdown scored by the
Shock Wave there was a reply by the Inferno. Tyler
Kerby and Liam Swanson each score a pair of majors
for the victors. Shane Knight, Gage Klyne and Dante
Musokotwan countered for the Inferno. Kerby and
Musokotwan were also standouts on defense for their
teams.
Peewee Division
The Laxess Avengers prevailed over the Robinson
Design and Drafting Vortex 36-13. The Avengers
jumped on the Vortex quickly with a 21 yard pass
from quarterback Nicholas Vacek to Dray Pepper and a
30 yard touchdown run by Lucas Kita. Vacek
converted Pepper's major. The Vortex responded with
a long time consuming drive which culminated in a 1
yard plunge by Styles Greenbird. Reid Robinson's
convert made the score 14-7 which was the way it
remained at the half.
In the third quarter the Avengers increased their
lead on a 4 yard run by Josh Hillsdon and a 1 yard
qurterback sneak by Vacek. Ty Frost also scored a
touchdown for the winners on a 1 yard run. The
Vortex did not give up and were rewarded when Reid
Robinson, who had an outstanding game on defense as
well, scampered 75 yards to the end zone for the
final score of the game.
They came to play today! In a match up between the
second and third place teams, the Vidal Pharmacy
Buzz Saw tore apart the Rob Simrak Magic Realty Sky
Fire 32-0. This score was a shocker as these 2
teams were separated by only 1 point in the final
standings and games between them were always decided
by no more than a touchdown.
On the Sky Fire's opening play from scrimmage, the
ball was fumbled and recovered by the Buzz Saw.
Luke LaLonde ran the ball into the end zone on a 1
yard quarterback sneak and Ron Presichetti booted
the convert on the resulting drive. The Buzz Saw
recovered the ensuing kick off and Noah Lester
dashed 12 yards to the house a few plays later,
opening up a 14-0 lead. Persichetti added to the
margin with a 17 yard run before the half. Lester
and Persichetti added majors in the second half for
the victory. The Buzz Saw defense continually
stuffed the Sky Fire outside running game. Austin
Cressman contained many runs with outstanding
tackles. Cody Johnston also had 2 interceptions in
an outstanding team effort.
Bantam Division
The Mammoet Crane Mammoths prevailed over the
Optimist Club of Sarnia Lakeshore in a football game
that resembled a track meet. This was a game that
saw 70 points put on the board by both teams with a
48-22 final score. Avery Smiley, Matt Kirk and
Sebastien Collins all scored touchdowns for the
Grizzlies and Garrett Patterson added a convert. At
times the creative pass plays designed by coach
Chris Isaac appeared to confuse the Mammoth defense.
But their powerhouse offense responded to all
challenges. Quarterback Hunter Hendrie led the
charge with 3 touchdowns, speedy Joel Card added a
pair, with singles to Justin Cain and Aiden Wildfong.
Justin Cain added 2 kicked converts and Matthew
Davies caught a pass in the end zone from Hendrie
for the other convert.
The
final game of the day turned into a nail biter as
the Mechanical Contractor's association Toros hung
on over the Dylan Gallant led Sarnia Police
Association Tiger Sharks 36-34. The Toros took the
lead on their opening possession and had a 22-12
lead at the half on a pair of touchdown runs by
Brett Riley and another major by Cameron Havers.
Zachary Tremblay and Chase Frost each added a kicked
convert. Dylan Gallant ran for a pair of touchdowns
for the Sharks in the first half.
The teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter as
first Riley extended the Toro lead, then Gallant
narrowed it with a 70 yard run and a kicked convert
to make the score 28-20 heading to the final
quarter. Then things became interesting. Riley
dashed 20 yards to the end zone and Tremblay's
convert had the Toros apparently up by a comfortable
16 point margin. On the ensuing possession the
Sharks moved methodically down the field in a drive
that culminated with Gallant running 20 yards to the
end zone. His convert narrowed the lead to 8,
making the score 36-28.
The Tiger Sharks tried a short kick, which they
recovered. Four plays later Gallant struck again,
this time on on a 29 yard run. In a huge play. the
convert was blocked and the Toros had a slim two
point advantage. The Tiger Sharks again were
successful on a short kick and had possession of the
ball with 4 minutes remaining and down by 2. The
final drive for them started. They attained two
first downs and appeared to have a third inside the
Toro 20,when a holding penalty was called in their
back field bringing the ball back to the 40. From
there on they just couldn't get untracked and the
Toro defense came up big, turning the ball over to
their offense on downs. The Toro offense was able
to run the clock out for their victory in a most
exciting game.
