OFSAA Bowl preview: Lions hope to better 2010 result against Griffins

The Western Bowl final is a rematch of the 2010 final when Herman won convincingly.  The Assumption Lions hope to change that result and in order to do so will have to get big performances from seniors Chris Lewis, Anthony Powless, Drew Tlustos, and Josh Tait.  Lions head coach Raj Saini had this to say about the opponent:
“Herman is a very fast team that is well coached.  For us to be successful, we will need to minimize their big plays, stay disciplined and move the ball offensively.”
Herman counters with the big-play ability of Tyler Storie, Austin Lumley, Marquise Thompson, Curtis Holmes, and Jaydon Gauthier.
PREDICTION:
Herman 35 Assumption 26

Western Bowl Final
Tuesday, November 27th 5:10 p.m. at Rogers Centre Assumption College (CWOSSA) vs. Herman (SWOSSA)
