New Brunswick Championship
Calais-St. Stephen Silverados 44 Fredericton
Junior Black Kats 6
In a game
that was moved to Rocky Stone Field in Moncton due to horrendous field
conditions at FHS, the Junior Black Kats got their only points on a 75 yard
kickoff return by Devin Kearney. Fredericton trailed 20-6 at the half and was
unable to move the ball on offence in a steady, cold rain against a big and
strong Silverados team.
Zach Newman had three
touchdowns for the Silverados who employed an offence that can be best described
as a version of the "Winged T". The multiple fakes used in this system
had the Kats defence confused all afternoon. Blake Ford, Courtney Henry and
Jordan Leeman had one major apiece for the winners who now advance to the
Maritime Championship against the Nova Scotia champion next Sunday at Rocky
Stone.

Devin Kearney (33) of the Fredericton
Junior Black Kats runs the ball up field against the Oromocto Junior Blues'
defence during Sunday's Capital Area Minor Football Association bantam final
at FHS Field. Kearney scored a pair of first quarter touchdowns as the Kats
prevailed 24-15.
Fredericton Junior Black Kats are within a win of winning
the provincial bantam (ages 14-15) football championship.
Junior Kats earned the right to host the Moncton-Fundy semifinal winner in
Sunday's provincial bantam final at Fredericton High School field - game time 1
o'clock - after beating Oromocto Junior Blues 24-15 Sunday to clinch the Capital
Area Minor Football Association bantam title.
The high school team at Fredericton High School is also in position to win a
provincial title for the second straight year as it plays the Bernice
MacNaughton Highlanders of Moncton in the provincial final Saturday at Rocky
Stone Field in Moncton. Kats defeated Tantramar High Titans 3-0 in semifinal
action Saturday at FHS Field.
In the bantam matchup, the Junior Black Kats jumped out to a 16-0 lead in the
first quarter and that would prove enough to knock off the Blues, who had
defeated Northside Junior Lions 27-6 in the Capital Area semifinal the previous
weekend.
Devin Kearney had two long touchdown runs in that opening quarter and combined
with the converts by Brett Lockhard, the Kats were on their way.
Blues narrowed the gap to 16-7 at the half when Jesse Rae took it in from five
yards out for the major score and Nathan Heather ran in the convert.
After a scoreless third quarter, Kats' quarterback Jeff Madsen found Patrick
Downe in the flat and he raced 70 yards for the insurance major. With the
Lockhard convert, the Kats were up 24-7.
Blues scored the game's final touchdown with less than a minute to go when Mitch
Dingley ran it in from five yards out. Setting up the score was a Rae to Josh
Blanchard pass and run play to the five. Dingley also added the convert.
The Junior Lions also played an exhibition game Sunday, losing 12-0 to the
Penquis Valley Wolfpack from Maine on touchdowns by Richard Thurlen and Ryan
Lyford.
In the provincial peewee semifinal played Sunday, the Oromocto Tigers were on
the short end of a 27-25 score against the Calais-St. Stephen Silverados.
Tigers trailed 21-13 at the half and couldn't make up the deficit.
