St. Andrew’s College Saints – The Varsity Football Saints defeated the Huron Heights Warriors 37-27 this afternoon. It was the second week in a row that the Saints have beaten an opponent ranked in the top 10 nationally.

“It’s always an exciting opportunity for us to play Huron Heights. Having two nationally prominent programs who are in such close geographic proximity, on opposite sides of the tracks so to speak, means a lot in our local community,” commented head coach, Len Gurr. “Our stadium was packed on Saturday.”

Offensively, RB Adre Simmonds led the way rushing for over 200 yards and scoring 4 TDs. Adre was the best player on the field. QB Dylan Tabone enjoyed another strong performance, flashing his big play ability with his arm and his legs. WR CFC100 Lucas LaBrier led the receiving corps with over 150 yards and a TD.

Huge credit also goes to the big β€˜war daddies’ up front who battled a large and physical Warriors’ front 7: CFC100 Gabe Wallace, Ethan Kalra, Alex Ross, Matt Cronin, and Dalton Lehman battled for 4 quarters in the hot and humid conditions.

“For the 2nd week in a row, we faced a tough and physical football team. Huron is big and plays with an edge. It was a great test for our team,” said Coach Gurr. “I was very happy with how our offensive line responded to the challenge.”

Defensively, the Saints were led by DE CFC100 Liam Gracey and LB Angus Austgarden. Facing a powerful triple option offence is never easy for an opposing defence, and the D deserves a lot of credit for grinding it out.

“Defensively, we knew we would have our hands full,” Coach Gurr said. “When you’re used to facing primarily 3 X 2 sets and the zone run game, that triple option offence is a nightmare to defend. And Huron runs it with precision. All of the wingback movement, the counter looks, the ability to pull the ball and take a shot in play-action, they gave us fits.”

Although today serves as a valuable lesson on execution late in games and finishing off an opponent (the Saints led 37-14 in the 4th quarter), the Saints are nevertheless 2-0 with wins over two national powerhouse programs.

The Saints will travel to Port Hope next Saturday to kick off their conference schedule against the TCS Bears.
