JV Cougars Dominate North Halton
The Junior Varsity Chatham-Kent Cougars are still perfect on the season.
Their latest win was over the North Halton Crimson Tide on Saturday -- the final score was 53-7.
Darion Bacik-Hadden and Jonathan Cartier both looked dominant on offence, combining for all seven of the Cougars' TDs in the game. Bacik-Hadden ran two in and threw for two more while Cartier ran in two of his own and threw one in as well.
Cameron Creechan's leg got a lot of work, too. He went 6/7 on his PATs and also kicked a 15-yard field goal.
On the defensive side, Lucas Doyle was a nightmare for the opposing QB, registering two sacks and seven solo tackles.
The JV Cougars will head to Brantford for their next game on Sunday, July 2.
