Playoffs

Championship

Result: Friday, November 11th

Paul Dwyer 26, Sinclair 13
The Saints capped off a tremendous season with a 26-13 victory over the Sinclair Celtics to capture the Tier Two Championship.  With the victory, Paul Dwyer became the first Oshawa based school to win this championship, which was formally introduced in 2008.  The Celtics can take solace in that the 26 points they allowed and 13 that they scored were the best totals against the Saints this year.  Following a scoreless opening quarter, during which the Celtic defenders forced two turnovers in the red zone, the Saints were finally able to put points on the scoreboard when Jordan Duncan, with his first of two touchdowns, scored from the one yard line.  Aaron Champagne's convert made the score 7-0.  The Celtics replied when Kyle Parker scooped up his short punt and took the ball 34 yards for a touchdown late in the second quarter.  Matt Gynn's convert sent the teams to the dressing room at the half squared at seven.  Duncan's 15 yard carry in the third quarter provided the Saints with a lead that they would never relinquish.  Jake Radford would add two touchdowns (runs of 6 and 11 yards) in the final twelve minutes (with Champagne adding his second convert of the game) to extend the Saint lead to 26-7 before Chris MacKey would close out the scoring with a 25 yard pass reception with just under two minutes remaining. 
Game MVP awards were presented to: Offense: Blaine Webster (Paul Dwyer) and Parker; Defense: David Gledroc (Paul Dwyer) and Josh Brown (Sinclair)
The league MVP award for 2011 was awarded to Morgan Humes (Ajax).

Pine Ridge 10, O'Neill 3
Tyler Rank's interception in the final minute of play followed by a 25 yard run by Meschech Green enabled the Pine Ridge Pumas to eliminate the O'Neill Red Hawks from post season play.  Tied at three before the turnover, O'Neill had possession of the ball on their side of the field and the game appeared to be heading for an overtime shootout before Rank picked off the errant pass in the flat.  Sean Smith, who converted Green's touchdown, and Brendan Costello had exchanged field goals in a tightly played defensive game that was played on less than ideal field conditions.  The Pumas will now visit Oshawa to play the undefeated Saints at Civic field on Tuesday.

Uxbridge 13, Pine Ridge 10
In a game between two undefeated West Division teams, the Uxbridge Tigers prevailed by a 13-10 count in a tightly played defensive contest.  The opening panel saw only a single point recorded and that came off the kicking foot of Chris Gladney.  Lee Cowie upped the lead to a converted touchdown by half time with a short one yard carry.  Sean Smith's 41 yard field goal pulled the Puma's with four.  The final four seconds of the third quarter saw over half the points in the game being scored.  Jacob Wilson from the one increased the Tigers lead to 13-3 however Meschach Green unleashed an 80 yard return on the ensuing kick off, which was converted by Smith.  The two teams then returned to solid defensive football through a scoreless fourth quarter.  The win gives Uxbridge first place while the Pumas will finish second.  Both schools will host quarter-final playoff games.

Denis O'Connor 19, Notre Dame 7
The Chargers kept their playoff aspirations alive with a 19-7 victory over the winless Cougars.  James O'Brien was on the receiving end of a 15 yard pass to open the scoring early in the second quarter to give Denis O'Connor a lead that they would never relinquish.  Notre Dame replied with a rouge as a twenty-five yard field goal attempt by Matthew Bogusz was wide.  Kuwayne Moore increased the half time lead to 12-1 with a 44 yard touchdown pass reception with only eight seconds remaining to the half.  Following a scoreless third quarter, the two teams exchanged touchdown as Moore, on a pass and run play, took the ball 66 yards to the house while Ibrahim Frank-Banda replied for the Cougars with a 57 yard run.  Robbie Lena successfully converted Moore's fourth quarter touchdown.  The victory moved the Chargers in
to a tie with Richardson Storm for the final playoff spot in the West Division.    The Chargers and Storm close out the season on Friday in a match that should determine who advances to the playoffs.

Lee Cowie's five yard run with 1:18 remaining enabled the Tigers to preserve their perfect season with their fifth win in five starts.  Trailing by one, the Tigers gave the ball to Cowie who scampered five yards for his second touchdown of the game.  Cowie recorded all 15 scoring points as he kicked one convert and added a two pointer on his fourth quarter major.  The Rams, now 3-2, had overcome an early 7-0 deficit as Brad Benedetto scored on a two yard run with just over two minutes remaining in the opening quarter.  Tobin Semple would add the point after to pull the Rams even at seven.  Semple's 29 yard field goal attempt with 21 seconds remaining in the first quarter was wide however the Tigers were unable to get the ball out of the end zone giving Ajax with a one point lead.

O'Neill 23, Port Perry 6
In a rematch of last year's Tier Two senior championship, the O'Neill Red Hawks earned a measure of revenge as they turned back the Rebels 23-6.  As was the case with last year's title game (won by a score of 4-3 by the Rebels in overtime) this game was a defensive battle through the first 21 minutes of play with the only points being recorded by O'Neill's Jeremy Alexander who split the uprights for three from 29 yards out.  However, Trey Campbell on a 54 yard run with just over two minutes to the half widened the Red Hawk lead to nine.  O'Neill would add 14 second half points on a 62 yard pass and run to Dylan Hall and a 9 yard carry by Matt Cox (Alexander added both converts).  With just over a minute left, Kirk Bricknell on a four yard run provided the Rebels with their first scoring points of the season thereby ending a streak of 109 consecutive points allowed.

Pine Ridge 24, Ajax 21
Playing under the lights at Pine Ridge, the Pumas and Rams (both 2-0 entering the game) provided those in attendance with an excellent and competitive game.  This game came down to the final minute when a potentially game tying field goal by the Rams missed to the left thereby preserving a three point Puma victory.  Both teams scored three touchdowns and three converts, however Sean Smith's successful field goal proved to be the difference.  Scoring touchdowns for the Pumas were Meschach Green (with two) and Curtis Innis.  Replying for Ajax were Tristan Smith with two touchdowns and Josh Wickens.  Puma's Sean Smith and Ram's Tobin Semple handled the convert duties.

Sinclair 14, O'Neill 12
For the second consecutive year, the Celtics prevailed over the Red Hawks by the slimmest of margins.  The 2010 game ended 1-0.  This year, the teams were able to post three touchdowns with Xavier Ellis and Daniel Wark scoring six pointers for the winners.  Scott Gunn replied with a major for O'Neill while Brendan Costello posted six kicking points via a field goal and three singles.  The difference in the game proved to be the two converts recorded by Matt Gynn.  The Sinclair win pulled them even with O'Neill in the East Division as both teams sport 2-1 records.  Paul Dwyer also has recorded two victories however the Saints with a bye this week have played one fewer game.

Richardson 13, Notre Dame 3

O'Neill 24, Bowmanville 8
During week one play, field goals were a rarity in Tier Two play as the only player to record a three-pointer was O'Neill's Brendan Costello. Brendan delivered, not one, but four field goals to help lead his team to a 24-8 victory.  Costello's kicking prowess was aided by Trey Campbell who delivered two touchdowns for the Red Hawks, who successfully opened their 2011 season with a victory as they look to improve upon 2010 where they fell just short of the league championship losing the championship game in overtime to Port Perry.  Replying for the Talons were Justin Leacock with a touchdown and Riley Johnson who added a two point convert.

Uxbridge 26, Richardson 18
Lee Cowie opened the scoring with an eight yard touchdown run four minutes into the second quarter to give Uxbridge a lead that they would never relinquish.  Cowie, who would also add a 28 yard running touchdown in the final quarter, added the convert on the opening touchdown.  Mike Boehm with a fumble recovery in the end zone following a punt and Andrew Edwards with a 25 yard carry also scored majors for the Tigers, while Graham Klammer delivered a 28 yard punt single.  Offensively, the Storm scoring points were recorded by Jayden Massey with two seventy-five yard touchdowns (one on a kick off return and the other on a run) and George Gouoganis who streaked eighty-four yards on a pass and run.
