Northern Bowl: Steelhawks hold on to win 2nd bowl game in a row (stats)

The OFSAA Northern Bowl (Bills in Toronto Series) took place this morning under the comfortable confines of Rogers Center. The Superior Heights Steelhawks (Sault Ste. Marie) jumped out to an early 31 to 0 halftime lead but had to hold on for a close 34 to 28 victory over Sir Winston Churchill Trojans (Thunder Bay).

A great 105 yard reception by Cam Claridge gave the Trojans hope, cutting the score to 34 to 28.
A late fourth quarter interception by Steelhawks Luke Simard and a turnover on downs with 6 seconds remaining sealed the deal. The win marks the 4th win in a row for Sault Ste. Marie teams in the Northern Bowl, and the second in a row for the Steelhawks.
