OVFL JV: Warriors defeat Grenadiers to remain undefeated
The Junior Varsity Mississauga Warriors remain undefeated after a convincing 28-8 win over the Kingston Grenadiers. With this win, the Warriors are now 5-0 on the season.
Offensively for the Warriors, quarterback Kevin John had three passing touchdowns while backup Zach Dies followed up with another touchdown in the fourth quarter. Keyshawn Powell and Ashton Shiwprasad each scored two majors. Kevin Foster-Verdier added some big bruising runs on offense.
Defensively, Derek Reeves registered two sacks. Reeves returned to the Warriors after being off three weeks due to injury. Charbel Dabaire also chipped in with two sacks, a batted ball on a screen pass and a key punishing hit on a Grenadiers player. Jamoy Thompson and Jovan Burgess both caught interceptions, with Thompson recording his fourth of the season.
Cornerback Julian Taylor-Patrick and linebacker Mackenzie Weiss largely played significant roles in the Warriors victory as they halted the Grenadiers, who is one of the top passing teams in the league . This outing resulted in the Grenadiers being limited to their lowest passing totals of the season.
All three Warriors teams take the field on Saturday, July 6th to face the league leading Cambridge Lions at Loyola Catholic Secondary School.
