ALL RECAPS AND GAME SUMMARIES WRITTEN BY JOHN METCALFE
The Burlington Stampeders entrants in the Ontario Football Conference Summer football finals came away successful at the O.F.C. Championship Day played at the University of Guelph on August 8th.
The Bantam Stamps overwhelmed the Huronia Stallions 57-18 to earn their fourth consecutive O.F.C. crown. The Varsity Stamps returned to the winner’s circle for the first time since 2010 after their 25-7 win over the Toronto Jr. Argonauts. The Junior Varsity Guelph Jr. Gryphons scored their first ever O.F.C. title stifling the Peterborough Wolverines 21-5.
VARSITY
#CFC100 Tailback Jordan Lyons once again led the Stampeders with two one yard touchdown plunges and an impressive 11 carries for 160 yards on the ground. Jack Miller scored the other major from a yard out as well. Adam Preocanin started the game off with an 85 yard kick off rouge, a chip shot 12 yard field goal and was 3 for 3 on converts for the victors. Argos only score came when Esson Hamilton found Shareef Johnson for a 64 yard pass and run. Quinn Johnson added the point after. Hamilton kept the Stampeder defence on their toes amassing 302 yards in the air, but, two interceptions in the red zone by Josh Hubbell and Connor McQuilkin ended any threats in the 4th quarter. Stamps previously won COMFL/OFC Varsity crowns from 2002-2005, 2008 and 2010.
