Cougars Perfect Again
One week after finishing with three wins, the Chatham-Kent Cougars followed that up with three more victories.
The Junior Varsity team improved to a perfect 3-0 on the season with a 24-14 win over Sarnia Northern.
The Bantam Chatham-Kent Cougars beat the North Halton Crimson Tide in a low-scoring game. The final score was 15-6.
Tyler Shumanski carried the Cougars' ground game -- he had seven touches for 135 yards and a touchdown. He also kicked a 17-yard field goal.
Cody Boulley had the other touchdown for the Bantam squad with a 34-yard TD pass from Drew Barko.
On the defensive side, Luke Rupert and Jude Pearson led the team in tackles -- Rupert had nine while Pearson had seven and one assist. At the same time, Brayden Charbonneau was a nightmare for the Crimson Tide's QB with one sack and two interceptions.
At the PeeWee level, the Cougars tripled up the Oakville Titans 18-6.
Jack Crow factored in on all three of the TDs the Cougars scored -- he found receivers for two of them and ran the third one in by himself.
The defence came up big, too. Kaden Jefferson had an incredible one-handed interception and Brendan Normandin-Kerr was a one-man wrecking crew. He racked up 14 tackles (including five on special teams) along with two assists.
