St. Peter Knights capture National Capital Bowl
I was waiting for local media to pick up the story after finding out the score last night, and they did not disappoint. The Orleans Star is all over it, providing two articles, the more detailed of which is included below. Dan Plouffe does the honours. It took all of one play for the St. [...]
St. Peter reaches the National Capital Bowl
Patrick Kennedy provides the following recap of yesterday’s National Capital Bowl semi-final. Cracks me up. I recall earlier this year that someone on a message board referred to Lecour as being soft. I hope that person has a long look at this article. I can’t claim to have seen Lecour play very often but I [...]

Redhawks 27, Blue Devils 15…I guess…
All right, so I’m confused senseless by the results of the Lanark-Renfrew league. The recap of the semi-final is dated November 12th (in EMC), but the recap of the final is dated the previous day. And two other sites I visit for this information post different scores. Whatever. Bottom line, RedHawks are champs and their [...]
RedHawks take the 2009 Lanark-Renfrew senior championship
Smiths Falls came out of the Lanark-Renfrew league and St. Peter won Ottawa, so I’ll be keeping an ear to the ground to find out who each team will be playing in order to reach the Nation Capital Bowl on November 25th in Toronto. In the meantime, here is Ryland Coyne’s EMC article about Smiths [...]
