Marcel Bellefeuille sheds the “interim” tag
I considered posting a brief bio about Marcel Bellefeuille when he was named the interim Head Coach of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, but simply didn’t get around to it. I knew he was an Ottawa native, and hoped he would succeed on that basis alone, but because his professional experience had been earned elsewhere, I wasn’t [...]
Mason breaks playoff rushing record
Early recap of today’s playoff game by the Globe and Mail. Third-year running back Davie Mason rushed for a record 327 yards Saturday as the Ottawa Gee-Gees defeated the Guelph Gryphons 42-37 to advance to the OUA semifinal for the fourth time in five years. The five-foot-11, 240-pound Mason had a career-high 31 carries and [...]
St Peter Knights undefeated
Well, they made it official yesterday. St. Peter is undefeated and Glebe is winless, after St. Peter’s home 36-14 victory. Take it away, Fred Sherwin! The St. Peter Knights senior boys football team put the finishing touches on a perfect regular season on Thursday, downing the Glebe Gryphons 36-14 to improve their record to 6-0. [...]
Football star adopts principles from East Africa while injured
Daniel Plouffe from the Orleans Star gives us some background info about Gee-Gees receiver Ivan Birungi. The Ivan Birungi comeback journey took a bit of a detour this year. After enjoying an undefeated senior season with the St. Peter Knights, the talented receiver headed east and took Atlantic University Sport football by storm, winning two [...]
Dawe set for playoffs
Here’s an article about Gee-Gees’ defensive lineman Tyler Dawe from a Guelph newspaper, the Guelph Mercury. A mediocre 4-4 season. Failure to live up to expectations. An upset loss to the Windsor Lancers. Two games missed with a knee injury. None of it compares to what Ottawa Gee-Gee Tyler Dawe’s already overcame in his CIS [...]
Panthers pivotal to Knights’ success
Neate Seager has a very good article in today’s Sun about the relationship between the St. Peter Knights high school team and the Cumberland Panthers program. It’s far easier to find in the print version than the online one but in any event, here it is: Football would be the perfect team sport if the [...]
Galas sets CIS career receiving mark
A little something I forgot to include earlier today. This is lifted from a Citizen article. Meanwhile, McGill receiver Erik Galas, a fifth-year senior from Ottawa, set the standard for career receptions, catching 13 passes for 181 yards against the Carabins for a career total of 190. He passed the mark of 189 set by [...]
Gee-Gees 39, Toronto Blues 30
Shane Ross of the Ottawa Sun recaps yesterday’s game U. of O. game against Toronto. Josh Sacobie came up short in his attempt to set the all-time CIS passing record, but no matter, he says, his Gee-Gees are in the playoffs for the 17th year in a row. Ottawa overcame a 23-10 halftime deficit to [...]
Jr Riders 24, Sooners 17
The Sun’s Chris Stevenson offers a recap of last night’s Jr Riders/Sooners game at Keith Harris stadium. The Ottawa Junior Riders have given the rival Ottawa Sooners something to think about as the two clubs head into a two-week layoff before the QJFL playoffs. The two teams ended the regular season with 7-1 records, as [...]
Lansdowne Live
I wanted to wait until this morning to add anything about the Lansdowne proposal, just to see what sort of coverage it received. In terms of the basics, I’ll turn things over to the Ottawa Sun (Derek Puddicomb specifically). Please make note of the brief video clip on the right side of the page. A [...]
