DURHAM — The Ajax-Pickering Dolphins peewee OMFL team improved its record to 3-1 with an impressive 26-8 win over the Mississauga Warriors.
The Dolphins offence was led by quarterback Braeden Pacas who completed a touchdown pass to Riley McBride as well as two rushing touchdowns by Israel O’Brien. The offensive linemen, Matthew Thompson, Tre Antonie, Jonathan Wieder, Nathen Tucker and Zayne Cheddie held the Mississauga defenders with some solid blocking.
The defence held the Warriors to only eight points throughout the game. Linebacker Aidan Simpson caught an interception which later led to a Dolphins touchdown. Linebackers Aaron Chung, Kelly McBride, Derek Flanders and Shaedan Currie provided some notable tackles and a fumble recovery.
The Dolphins bantam OVFL team carried the momentum from last week’s win with a 6-1 victory against the Halton Cowboys. The win in Halton improves the Dolphins record to 2-1 for the season.
The Dolphins defence held the Halton’s offence — which had scored 101 points in three games — to its lowest score of the season. A rushing touchdown by Cameron Tabatabaei in the third quarter was enough for the Dolphins to seal the victory against the Cowboys. There were some big tackles from LB Cristian Claros-Ayala and DB Shiomare Peters. WR Lucas Welby made a spectacular catch for a big first down, while RB Bailey Grimes had his best rushing game of the season.
The Dolphins junior OVFL team continued their unbeaten streak with a convincing 57-6 win over the Cowboys.
The Dolphins offence was unstoppable with eight touchdowns. RB Jordan Grimes bobbed and weaved into the Cowboys end zone for two TDs. RB Trey Humes and Daniel Davy, WR Tevin Lawrence and Justice Johnson all had TDs. QB Jaylen La Touche got to the end zone with a QB sneak, while DL Nathaniel Benjamin had a big pick and rush for a TD.
The defence held the Halton offence to six points, with big tackles from Alonzo Addae, Yanic Joseph, Donte Smith, Kesean Bennett, Shareef Tucker, Matthew Romain and George Goudogianis.
The Dolphins senior varsity OVFL team won their first game of the season with a 37-9 win over the Halton Cowboys.
The Dolphins meet the Oshawa Hawkeyes on June 22 at their home turf at Kinsmen Park. Game times are 1, 4 and 7 p.m.
