OFSAA bowl preview: Will Falcons become the most dominant bowl team?

The Frontenac Falcons are the class of the National Capital region.  This will be their seventh appearance (since 2000) in the National Capital Bowl and will be going for their record 6th bowl victory.  Led by a group of 5th year veterans headed up by QB Tyler Filson.  Filson and veterans Mitch O’Connor,  Maxx Sone,  Jacob Riha and Declan McCann will look to light up the score clock at the Rogers Center Tuesday.
St. Joan of Arc is appearing in their first ever bowl game.  The Knights are on a 10-game winning streak, dominating Simcoe county opponents and Crestwood (first Simcoe county team to defeat the Peterborough school)  in the semi-finals.  QB Adam Zussino has been solid all year and will be looking for targets Zac Bertucca, Jesse Alves and Jayden Kelly to have big games.
