Lansdowne Park public consultation meetings
I haven’t posted much about the Lansdowne Live proposal because, while I remain active in supporting it, I find it falls short as “entertainment” and therefore tend to direct my attention elsewhere for this site. We are now at latest “must win” situation however, so I think the following article from the Citizen needs to [...]
Gee-Gees 35, Blues 15
I have to admit, I totally forgot that the Gee-Gees were playing in Toronto last night. I wasn’t until I came home from the high school games at Minto that I found I’d missed it (it was broadcast on the Streaming Sports Network) as a result of Twitter updates made by Neate Sager. In any [...]
Recap of the first week of Lanark Renfrew high school football action
I scored myself a new source of information in the EMC newspaper chain website. The article below is from yesterday and originally written by one Jeff Maguire. EMC Sports – Adam Kane ran for three touchdowns leading Almonte and District High School (ADHS) Senior Thunderbolts to a 33-0 romp over St. John Catholic High School [...]

“Sir Wil grads step up for Gee-Gees”
Dan Plouffe contributed the following article for eastottawa.ca. I may have said this before, but I think you should get used to hearing Gillanders’ name. It’s going to come up a fair amount in the future, I believe. While high school football season kicked off last week, two graduates from the Sir Wilfrid Laurier Lancers program [...]
Gee-Gees True Sport Skills Competition
I have been made aware of an interesting event taking place prior to, and at halftime of, the Gee-Gees home game against the Guelph Gryphons on October 9th. Each high school is invited to send one senior player to compete for the fastest high school football player in Ottawa as well as crowning the punt, [...]

Playing hooky to go to school
The high school schedules were made available earlier this week and the senior tier one edition has been posted on its respective page. Following high school football is a little tricky, since many of the games are on weekday afternoons. I can only fake so many heart attacks to get out of work. There are [...]

Falcons take flight
We have a new entry at the high school this year in tier two. While I tend to focus mostly on tier one, the team’s structure is rather unique and am posting it on that basis. Here is how Martin Cleary describes it in his high school sports blog for the Ottawa Citizen. It sounds [...]
Catch him if you can!
Time flies when you’re having fun. The local football season seemed to take forever to arrive yet today I looked at the midget standings and damned if the Canterbury Mustangs aren’t already halfway through their regular season. Granted, that’s partially because an odd number of teams makes for an akward schedule (the Dukes have only [...]
“Knights charge through Storm”
Martin Cleary (Citizen) takes us through the first night of local high school football below. I normally obtain my scheduling information from fatdog.ca, but when I checked last night, it was still not available there. Same with the Lanark-Renfrew sched. If it’s not available tonight, I’ll write to someone to obtain because I would like [...]

“Rice’s Mitchell makes history”
Here’s a little something someone copied on the All Canada Gridiron message board. Since it appears I might be talking about Mitchell for quite a while here, I may as well have it squirreled away for future reference. Posted by ESPN.com’s Graham Watson Every once in awhile a sports information director from one of my [...]
