Nov 05, 2014

Move on to EOSSAA on home turf Nov 7

Sydenham’s senior Golden Eagles football team finished off their regular season with a 6 and 0 winning streak and a final win at the KASSAA (Kingston Area Secondary Schools Athletic Association) double A championships, which took place at Richardson stadium at Queen's University on November 1 and was a stellar team effort. Sydenham shut out the LaSalle Black Knights with a final score of 47-0.

Head coach for the senior Golden Eagles, Mike Love, who has been coaching the team since 2006, highlighted some of the more important points of that game. He cited the team’s quarterback Dylan Fisher as a important piece of the team’s win. Fisher threw four touchdown passes, earning himself the MVP trophy, which was presented to him at the end of the game.

Running back Brodie Latimer also had a great game and ran the ball for two touchdowns.

Love credited the team’s defense led by line backer Mitch Herron for virtually shutting down the Knights’ offense and preventing them from getting a single point on the score board.

The Knights came into Saturday’s game with a 6-1 record, having lost their one and only game of the regular season to Sydenham at the annual Bubba Bowl event.

Love credited his “great group of players both in offense and defense” for a great regular season and the KASSAA win.

For their first EOSSAA (Eastern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association) game, the senior Golden Eagles will be taking on the Brockville Collegiate Institute’s Rams on Friday, November 7 in Sydenham at 1:00 pm. The winner of that game will play the following weekend at the winner’s field. If the Golden Eagles keep it up they may indeed land themselves a spot at the National Capital Bowl, which is scheduled to take place on November 22, with the location to be announced.
