Lancers 40 Gee-Gees 38
I didn’t see this game, so the less said from me the better. The following article is from Darren Desaulniers of the Citizen. A loss to the Windsor Lancers yesterday may be only the beginning of the bad news for the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees football team. Quarterback Josh Sacobie, a five-year veteran, had a [...]
Opening Kickoff, Sept 27th
When the Calendar page flips to October, things will look a little different for that part of the site. Up until this point, I had basically used the calendar to list the full CIS, Junior and Semi-Pro schedules. But in reality, it’s rather pointless to list road games. If you’re “just a fan” like me, [...]

High School game recaps
I found an article from the Orleans Online paper which recapped St. Peter’s 52-00 win over St. Joseph in one of the two games to start the senior high school football season. Credit to Fred Sherwin in particular. St. Peter followed that up with a win at St. Mark earlier today so they appear to [...]
If Soccer is the future…
…it seems to be a pretty distant future. Football, usually Canadian, is the only sport I watch religiously. Never mind that there are only so many hours in the day to devote to sports, the others do not capture my interest in quite the same way. I am a sucker, however, for National teams. That [...]

Demons brace for the perfect Storm
Here’s a rarity; a mention of the Deacon Demons in a local newspaper (Ottawa Sun) The Ottawa Deacon Demons have a tough task tomorrow night — trying to knock off the Vermont Storm, a football team that hasn’t lost in a long time. But the Deacon Demons (3-4 in the Empire league) aren’t about to [...]
Ottawa Sun’s Tier 1 High School football preview
Good or bad, the changes in high school football (described in the previous post) certainly seems to have drawn some attention. Today’s Sun, Nate Seager specifically, discusses it further and includes the following preview in his article. Parity is the byword in trimmed-down Tier 1, where St. Mark eyes a three-peat as city champions. “More [...]

The state of high school football in 2008
Martin Cleary comments at length on the state of High School football in his blog, including something of a preview as to what the schedule will look like. Here’s an excerpt: Last May, the Eastern Ontario Tackle Football Officials Association told the NCSSAA it wouldn’t have enough staff to cover all of the high school [...]

Gee-Gees 22, Marauders 19
Here is the Ottawa Sun‘s recap of last night’s Gee-Gees game. No. 6 Ottawa 22, McMaster 19 — At Hamilton, Josh Sacobie and the Gee-Gees struggled to get by the fired-up Marauders in the first regular-season game at Ron Joyce Stadium. On a penalty- and mistake-filled night all around, Sacobie was 19-of-32 for 288 yards [...]
Sooners 42, Panthers 10
The points the Sooners scored on defense last night would have been enough for them to win this game as Wesley Jean-Baptiste and Tom Harris each returned interceptions for touchdowns. I believe Harris’ interception was his fifth in only the third game of the season. Jean-Baptiste’s was one of two for him on the night. [...]
Opening kick-off, Sept 13th ’08
I believe I have finally completed the list of Ottawa area players in the CIS and NCAA. I love adding to this site, but this is one of my favourite pages to update. Even when this site was Renegades-specific, I tried to think of little things I could add that were not easily found elsewhere. [...]
