Park and Blakelock in football final at Ivor Wynne By Neil Becker S P E C IA L T O T H E BEA V E R Peter McCusker · Oakville Beaver at this time of year, on Saturday mornings, you would be hard pressed to fin d an empty arena across Canada. And Oakville is no exception. Oakville Beaver pho tographer Peter McCusker caught this house league hockey game, in the tyke white division, between Bell Nexxia Green Gators and the Longos White Eagles at Oakville Arena. MOHA reports that are submitted are regularly published in the Oakville Beaver. GREAT CANADIAN PASTIME! They're hungry, confident, and still undefeated; this is a good recipe for the Q.E. Park Eagles, who have earned the right to play at Ivor Wynne Stadium against Milton District in the tier two senior high school football championship finals tomorrow (Thursday), 10 a.m. In a team effort, which included some individual highlights, such as four touch downs from veteran Ross Corley and two from Eder Boquin, an Eagles victory was never in doubt, as they romped to a 44-7 semifinal win at home over Blakelock. Even though the visitors struggled this season at 1-5, and had their starting quarterback on the sidelines with a hand injury, they've been the talk of the play offs, as they were coming off a confi dence building victory over second place Pearson in the quarterfinals. "Last week, we had that confidence, and we took out a team that finished 51," said Blakelock coach Ron Larose. "This team (Q.E. Park), was too big and strong, but still we never quit and with a couple of breaks, who knows." Showing their hunger to qualify for their second trip in three years down the Q.E.W. to Ivor Wynne for the finals, the Eagles wasted no time, as they seized momentum in the opening minutes on a highlight touchdown catch by Eder Boquin. Setting the tone for the Eagles was the defence, which played with that `eye of the tiger' hunger, as they treated the home fans to a hitting clinic which ulti mately led to Ross Corley scoring two consecutive touchdowns to give Q.E. a commanding 21-0 lead, after the defence twice recovered a loose football. "We really wanted to set the tone and make them realize that they are playing at our house at Q.E. Park,"said Corley. "We heard that about them beating Pearson, but we weren't worried because we beat that same team earlier 41-0." Even with their perfect record, so far, however, Q.E. Park are taking nothing for granted. They know, full well, from past experience, that it doesn't guarantee them anything in Thursday's champi onship game. Two years ago, this squad also enjoyed an undefeated season before los ing to Central in the finals at Ivor Wynne. "We know that we can't be overconfi dent," said Corley who was one of the players from that team. "The fan support will be a help because they are like an extra man on the field." Any thought of a Blakelock come back was all but dead when, before the first half ended, Corley got his fourth touchdown and Eder Boquin notched his second to make it 44-0 after one half. To the credit of Blakelock, they played with a lot of intensity in the sec ond half and finally got on the score board when OAC student Geoff Farrer got a touchdown to make the final score 44-7 for the Q.E. Park Eagles. "At halftime, we told them to win the second half, and we did 7-0," said Blakelock Coach Ron Larose. HIGH SCHOOL RECAP, D3.
