CENTRAL LOSES TO PARK
The Park Street Collegiate Institute junior boys' football team roared into the history books yesterday, becoming the first Trojans team to cap an undefeated season by winning a Georgian Bay football crown.
"It feels great, especially because this is the first time it's ever happened in Park Street's history," said Trojan running back Scott Seymour, who scored three touchdowns en route to winning the game's MVP award as Park trounced visiting Barrie Central 34-0 in the championship game. While the score was lopsided, the game was a close contest early on -- as a scoreless first quarter attested. But in the second quarter, the confident Trojans made some adjustments.
Park Street coach Dave Joy said he was worried early on. "Their big tackle really stopped our running game up the middle so we had to make some adjustments and we started to double-team him and that made a big difference."
