#CFC50 High School Rankings (9): Playoffs bring out best in Prairies, Quebec

For the sixth year in a row, Canadafootballchat.com (CFC) is pleased to bring you the national high school football rankings known as the #CFC50.

The postseason has kicked into high gear from coast-to-coast.  One of the first champions is 2015 is the AE. Peacock Tornadoes.  On Saturday afternoon, the Tornadoes won their fourth consecutive crown with a 28-14 victory over Central Cyclones.  Kyle Arndt led the champions as he scored three touchdowns and rushed for 204 yards.

In Regina, it will be a rematch of the 2014 Regina Intercollegiate Football League (RIFL) 4A Championship as #CFC50 squads LeBoldus Golden Suns and Campbell Tartans won their semi-finals last week.  It will showcase two of the top quarterbacks in the area in the Tartans Brayden Wagg versus Golden Suns Brayden Kuski.

Meanwhile, the semi-finals have been set in Manitoba.  Both #CFC50 teams St. Paul’s Crusaders and Vincent Massey Trojans won their quarterfinal contests and are possibly on a collison course towards to the John Potter ‘AAA’ Championship on November 13th.

In Quebec, after a roller coaster season so far Cure-Antoine-LaBelle Wolves may be starting to gel at the right time as the team advanced to the semi-finals with a 44-27 win over College Jean-Eudes Eagles.  Now, the team will face the College Notre-Dame Cactus in a rematch of the 2014 RSEQ Juvenile Division 1 Bol D’Or Championship.

In the other RSEQ Juvenile Division 1 game, #CFC50 Saint-Jean-Eudes Condors escaped with a 24-20 victory over Triolet Harfangs to set up a semi-final date with top ranked Seminaire Saint Francois Blizzard.
