1971
Oshawa Central

1972: A labour dispute resulted in no formal games for the season.  Within Oshawa, Donevan would defeat Eastdale for the City Championship however a column in the Oshawa Times indicated that the championship had been awarded to Courtice by the teachers.  The labour dispute did not affect the Kawartha-Pine Ridge board of which Courtice was a member.   In the Oshawa Championship game, coaching was handled by school graduates and coaches from the Oshawa Hawkeyes football program
The trophy for the league champions does not have a plaque for 1972 which implies that either Courtice was awarded the Junior Championship only (the Junior trophy does have a plate) or someone removed the plate at a later date.  It should be noted that Courtice apparently did not win a football game during 1971 at either the Junior or Senior Level, which would not have bode well for the 1972 Senior team.

AA/AAA Champions

2014
O'Neill
2013
St. Stephen

The AA/AAA Division was introduced at the Senior level in 2013 to provide competition for the smaller sized schools within the Durham Region based on OFSAA classifications.  Schools meeting this criteria may elect to compete in the AAAA Senior division.  Although the regular season schedules are intermixed, separate division standings are kept to determine playoff structure.

In 2014, there were six eligible schools: Bowmanville, Eastdale, Holy Trinity, O'Neill, Paul Dwyer and St. Stephen.  Holy Trinity, Paul Dwyer and St. Stephen each elected to compete within the AAAA division.

In 2013, there were five eligible schools: Bowmanville, Eastdale, Holy Trinity, Paul Dwyer and St. Stephen.  Of these five, both Holy Trinity and Paul Dwyer elected to compete within the AAAA division.
