Knights End Regular Season
|
|
All five Kanata Knights football teams played their
last games of the regular season on October 22, 2006
with the four lower levels taking on the South Gloucester
Raiders and the Midgets meeting the Dukes.
Tyke
The Kanata Knights Tykes suffered a 34-6 defeat in their
last game of the season at the hands of the South Gloucester
Raiders.
Offensive linemen Johnny Milks, Andy Carmichael, Andrew
Caicco and Sean Emond did a great job stopping the defense
but were only able to come up with a single touch down
scored by QB Sam Kronick who led the offense racking
up 103 rushing yards. Scott Taylor, Levi Neeson
and Mahlon Head were also key players on the Knights
offense.
The defense struggled to hold off the Raiders offense
through out the game. Kyle King, Carter Poulin,
Jordon Olleik, Robbie Clement, Devin Saumur, Grant Moser,
Kyle Morley, Connor Smallwood and Logan McKenna combined
for 32 tackles. Evan Yourth had a fumble recovery
and McKenna had 45 yards on 2 kick off returns.
Mosquito
Another big win for the Mosquitos! They pulled
off a 23-0 win against the South Gloucester Raiders
this week, thanks to the teamwork and effort made by
all. John Ladurantaye had a spectacular 150 yards
rushing, and scored 2 of the 3 touchdowns, the third
one scored by Spencer Cates from the defence.
Seb Mordak and Cassy Aite combined for another 42 yards
rushing, and Cassy also had 47 yards receiving.
Nick Krzaniak and Jason Lachance passed the ball for
47 and 20 yards respectively, resulting in some great
catches! Thanks go the O line for the push and
protection, and all the offence for great effort blocking.
The defence was able to hold the Raiders to a scoreless
game due to the many tackles and hits shared by Chase
Renaud, Harrison de Costa, Eric Oneschuk, Vince Galea,
David Nguyen, Sebastian Rios, Devon McIntyre, Ben Tremblay,
Brett Champagne, and Jordan Gorgichuk. Curtis
Wagner also aided the cause with an interception.
Spencer Cates, Zach Palmer, Emil Aite, Zach Andruchow
had 3 tackles each. Evan Swire made 4 more tackles
and Mike Zadra made 5. Mitch Graham played a solid
game finishing with 10 tackles and 1 sack to his credit.
Pee Wee
It was not a banner day for the Pee Wee team coming
out on the losing end of a 44-6 decision. The Raiders
had a very strong outside running game that along with
the inclement weather proved to be too much for the
over worked defence led by Connor Da Costa, Dean Edwards,
and Tyrone Afram.
Although the Pee Wees came out strong on their first
play with a 90 yard TD run by Dallon Kuprowski, it would
be the only Knights points scored in the game. Along
with Kuprowski, Nick Ziai had good runs for Kanata,
as did Ian Boyle and Matt Oneschuk. QBs Sam Lawrence
and David MacLeod had a hard day as throwing became
increasingly difficult as the game went
Bantam
With the temperature hovering around 0ºC feeling more
like -10ºC the Knights would face a worthy challenger
in the Gloucester South Raiders for their last regular
season game of 2006.
Joey Timpson led the Knights defense with 13 tackles
and 1 sac. Shane Sabourin, Brad Gorgichuk, Marc Lefleur
and Connor Williams combined for multiple tackles as
once again this defensive core stood tall in creating
field position.
Ryan Ireland started things off for Kanata in the second
quarter connecting with Jordan Singbeil for a 20 yard
touchdown pass. Taylor Kuprowski picked up 105 yards
while Eric Champagne, Paul Bekolay and Shane Hills each
contributed with 20 plus yards on the day.
Despite numerous Knights opportunities throughout the
game it was the GS Raiders defense who would take center
stage and leave with a 13 – 9 victory over the Knights.
Midget
The Midgets won their last game of the season beating
the Dukes 14-7. The Knights two touchdowns
were scored by Bill Fletcher on a 14 yard pass reception
from QB Shane Nolan and Justin Patenaude netted eight
more points on a 3 yard run up the middle and two converts.
Patenaude who ended the regular season as the league’s
leading rusher had 201 yards on the day including a
spectacular 66 yard run on a botched snap.
Matthew Scott led the defense with one fumble recovery,
a quarterback sack and several tackles followed by Nick
White, Nicholas Konan and Nathan Quigley.
The win helped the Midgets secure second place and home
field advantage when they take on the Bel Air Norseman
in the semi finals next weekend.
Next Action
Playoffs also begin next weekend for the other Knight’s
teams as all squads advance to the post season rounds
in their respective divisions. The Tykes
will play the Canterbury Mustangs followed by the Pee
Wees who will play the Generals and the Bantams will
play the Gloucester Giants. The Mosquito berth
will be decided later in the week following a mini game
tie breaker against the Orleans Bengals.
Times and dates have yet to be determined but will be
posted on the Knights website (www.kanataknightsfootball.com)
later in the week.
