The regular season is over for the North Star Wolves football team and now they are eyeing a league title.
The Wolves will be playing for the WECSSAA Tier 2 senior football championship this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. against L’Essor at St. Clair College. Both teams finished the regular season with 6-1 records.
North Star finished off the regular season with a 41-0 win over the Massey Mustangs. The Mustangs finished the regular season 0-6.
The Wolves got a single point off of a missed field goal to go up 1-0 early and made it a 7-0 affair after a nine-yard Ashton Fevreau unconverted touchdown later in the quarter.
The converts were good on the first two of the three second quarter touchdowns. Quarterback Sawyer Krokos connected with Ryan Foster on a 58-yard touchdown pass with Fevreau later catching a touchdown pass, the latter being from 23 yards out.
Fevreau had a 36-yard touchdown run right before the half to make it a 27-0 game in what was a chippy game from both teams in the first half.
Noah Abreau looked to have scored on a punt return touchdown in the third quarter but it was called back on a penalty. Abreu was ejected a short time later due to objectional conduct calls.
Undaunted, the Wolves found the end zone quickly afterward, when Krokos connected with Fevreau on an 80-yard touchdown pass.
Nico Colasanti’s first touchdown of the year came in the fourth quarter on a six-yard run.
“We played really great,” said Colasanti. “I was able to get my first touchdown. We got a lot of backups in the game and they played really well.”
Colasanti said he was happy to get his first touchdown and they ran plays that he was able to take advantage of.
“That was exhilarating,” he said.
The Wolves lost their first game against L’Essor 28-14 Oct. 17 and while Colasanti said they are a hard team to play against, “I think we can beat them.”
Wolves head coach Joel Charron said they are looking to bring home a championship when they go to the bowl game. He said they were undermanned against Massey, as they were missing about ten players due to injury or being unable to play.
“We took care of business,” he said. “We did our best to not overlook them but our sights are on L’Essor.”
In addition to Colasanti, it was also Foster’s first touchdown of the season. Charron was happy both were able to get scores.
“I think for the most part we played well,” he said.
