Lions Win Battle For First Place With 35-14 Win Over St. Leonard

The battle for first place was exactly what it was expected to be.  It was a hard-fought and hard-hitting war between the two top teams in the Bill Allen division but it was the Lions who prevailed in the end, beating the St. Leonard Cougars 35-14. 

It was the Lions' powerful running game that gave them the most success that night.  A total of 369 yards were generated on the rush alone.  QB Vincent Bourgon ran in for two of the majors while Andrew Hopkins and Evan Wiley got one each.  Receiver Kyeon Nicely had another big night with 5 catches and the only passing TD of the game.  Shawn Steen had another perfect game as a kicker where he nailed all 5 converts.  On defense, the leaders with 5 tackles apiece were Patrick Smith, Gabriel Dansereau and Glody Bomolo who also got another QB sack to add to his collection.

Next week, the Lions are still at home where they will take on the Sun Youth Hornets.  The game is at Riverdale on Friday, October 3rd.  Game time is 8:00 PM.
