The Junior football team played a tough season of six wins and
two losses. With many newcomers, the boys have demonstrated
great endurance and a hard effort committing to both their practices
and school studies. Unlike the Seniors, the Junior team looked to
continue their success. The team had a record of five straight KAS-
SAA Championship wins under their belt as they headed into the
2008 season. They have solid line-up at every position with strong
returning players that led by example to help mentor new junior
players on the roster. The boys snowballed a chain reaction of wins
after their first victory against the Frontenac Falcons that followed
their season opener loss. The team proved their determination
throughout the season and made a strong name for us Crusaders in
the Junior Football League. We wish for a smooth transition for the
boys moving onto the senior team and new
members to come in the next season.

The Senior Football team started off their season
by seeking vengeance on Sydenham, the team
that knocked our Crusaders out of the playoffs
last year. The boys proved their hard work and
determination in their season opener by defeating
the Eagles with 8.7 seconds left on a 16 yard
field goal by Aaron Gazendam. At the annual
Catholic Cup Memorial, they continued their
winning streak by claiming a 33-12 win over
Regi. Their defense has been one of the strongest
the team has ever had. Veteran captains Will
Lefort and Austen Nizman led rookie starters
Dustin Girard, Luke Ball and Omar Ballantyne
well in the battle of the trenches. As for the offence,
they had a rock-solid season pushing as
far as ninety-five yards in some games. These
drives have been led by returnees Johnny Sullivan,
Josh Prinsen and Christopher Cox. Special
recognition goes out to Head Coach Pendergast,
Special Teams Coach Speagle, Running Back
Coach Hulton and Defensive Coaches Jarrell,
Tulk, McPhail, Ball, and O’Rourke for all their
dedication, effort and time devoted to the team.
The boys played a strong season of five wins
and three losses while demonstrating great
enthusiasm and school spirit.
