The Titans' defence allowed just one touchdown in the win. The bantams are back in action this Sunday, when they host the Vaughan Rebels for a 10 a.m. kickoff at Bronte Athletic Field. Junior varsity A late rally fell just short for the Titans junior varsity squad. Oakville trailed 20-6 at half but tied the game on an interception TD by Brandon Newman and another major by Stefan Finelli. The Titans then appeared to take the lead but their touchdown was taken away by penalty, and Toronto won the game 28-20 on a punt return TD in the dying seconds. Oakville quarterback Nick Skura scored the Titans' other touchdown before being injured in the second quarter, when he was replaced by Aiden Challis. Running back D'Shon Dingwell was also forced out of the contest with a knee injury. Dingwell's twin brother, Calieal, had a strong rushing game in the loss. The junior varsity Titans will be home to Huronia this Sunday, a 1 p.m. start at Bronte Athletic Field. Varsity Missing 18 players -- including 11 starters -- because of a national recruiting tournament in Florida last weekend, the varsity Titans dropped a 19-7 decision to Toronto. Jordan White threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Devon Burke for the Titans' lone score on the day. Oakville relied on the running of Jonathon Spence and Devante Smith to move the ball well on offence, but three drives died inside the Toronto 20-yard line. One of them ended with a field-goal attempt that was blocked and returned 90 yards, setting up the Jr. Argonauts' first score of the game. Linebacker Jonathon Timmins, who also played on offence (centre) and special teams, had a strong game defensively for Oakville.
