Huron Heights trounces Wilson in Metro Bowl semi-final

Metro Bowl

Semi-final

Wednesday, November 21st


Huron Heights (YRAA) 40, Donald A. Wilson 3
The Huron Heights Warriors will be making their third trip to the Metro Bowl at the Rogers Centre on Tuesday, November 27th as they exploded for three touchdowns in the final four minutes of the first half en route to a 40-3 victory over Donald A. Wilson.  The loss ended the Gators quest to be the first LOSSA based school to capture back to back Metro Bowl championships.
Until the Warrior outburst, the two teams had been locked in a defensive battle with the Gators holding a slender 3-0 advantage thanks to a first quarter 25 yard field goal by Christian Rose.  The play that broke the game open was a pass down the middle to a wide open Kyle Lasota, who could have walked into the end zone from ten yards out.  Immediately following the ensuing kickoff, an errant pass by George Papadakos was intercepted by the Warriors middle linebacker, Troy Adams, who gave the Warriors possession inside the Gator 25 yard line.  The Gator defense, appearing to be unsettled by the touchdown pass, was unable to contain the Warrior ground game and three plays later the Warriors had upped the lead to 13-3 as Derek Pisani reached the house with the first of his three touchdown runs.  The Gators quickly went two and out starting from their own 23 yard line.  A seven yard punt gave the Warriors possession on the thirty yard line and Huron Heights quarterback Kaleb Scott immediately connected with Cody Murrell for a completion at the three yard line.  Three plays later Pisani carried the ball into the end zone to give the Warriors a 19-3 lead at the half.
In the third quarter, it appeared that the Gators had cut the deficit to ten when Papadakos teamed up with Rose on a 76 yard pass and run.  However, an illegal block was called on the Gators and instead of the score being 19-9, the Gators found themselves back on their own 27 yard line.  Two plays later, the Gators were forced to punt and the Warriors would march 63 yards with Lasota picking up his second receiving touchdown of the day to all but end the Gators hopes for a comeback.  The final quarter saw two more Warrior touchdowns, one by Scott and one by Pisani.
Huron Heights will now meet the Don Bosco Eagles, who defeated St. Andrew’s College 27-11 for the Metro Bowl Championship.  Both schools are seeking their first Bowl title.
For three Gator players; CJ Stephens, Brandon Hatzes and Christian Rose, the game brings to an end their five year high school football career.  They leave with three LOSSA championships: two at Senior and one at Junior as well as a Metro Bowl championship.
