COMFL: Stampeders win provincial titles

Final sweep of season sweetest

All three Burlington Stampeders entries in the T Litzen bowl were victorious over their opponents, finishing the season with provincial titles, a rare occurrence. This was the ninth sweep the three teams logged this season.

Peewees finish perfect season with shut out

The peewee Stampeders topped off their perfect season with a shut out 44-0 against the London Jr Mustangs.

The big story was the defence. They allowed London only three yards in the second half along with two interceptions, one from Marcus Daniel, and Kellen Butt. Myles Manalo logged six tackles along with two touchdowns. Matt Paul added four tackles along with his major. Devan Dhindsa, Charlie George and Daniel had another four each.

Pivot Kurtis Rourke had a 38 yard touchdown pass to Owen Jeanes passing for 142 yards passing in the game. Jaden Bailey added another two touchdowns in 50 yards rushing. Michael Shea led the ground attack with 114 yards rushing.

Bantams perfect season ends with provincial title

Bantam Stampeders beat the Cambridge Wolverines 40-24 to win the T.Litzen Bowl this
Saturday finishing the season with a perfect record.

QB Nathan Rourke led the offence orchestrating to the win. Nick Langley had an incredible game scoring four touchdowns with a total of 240 yards rushing. Jason Uleryk-Carvalho scored the other Stampeder TD with 91 yards on the run. Nick Casola was perfect on all five converts. Dominic Mandalfino added another for 91 yards on the ground game. George Jeffrey caught a 15 yard pass and picked off a Cambridge pass.

Defensive players Jack Miller, Zachary Hoffner, Jax Ford, Jacob Dorio and Connor Knight led in tackles.

Atoms redeem COMFL loss to win championship

The Atom Stampeders finished off their season in style on Saturday capturing the Litzen bowl (Ontario AA Championship) title against the Twin Cities Predators. Burlington’s power running game proved too much to handle for the Twin Cities team.

Justin Gec rolled his hard work from last week’s COMFL championship right into this week’s match up. Gec was named player of the game in the league championship one week ago due to his hard running and stellar defense. He finished this week’s game with 119 rushing yards, a touchdown, one quarterback sack and eight solo tackles. Teammate Zack Ihasz also had a standout game on both sides of the ball. Ihasz galloped for 101 rushing yards and two tds while also taking the show airborne firing off a 45 yard touchdown pass to tight end, Kenny Sproat.
Later in the second half, Burlington decided they needed to award one of the defensive linemen for all of his hard work throughout the season. Tyler Milford, the youngest Stampeder, took advantage of his opportunity and was able to power in a touchdown late in the third quarter.
“Tyler is little guy and we used this to our advantage. We put all of our big linemen and running backs out in front and told him to follow and stay close, and he did.” said head coach, Jordan Johnston. “I couldn’t be happier with the way this season concluded. I am very proud of my players”
