Entering the tournament as the top-ranked team, and as the defending two-time champions, Holy Cross lived up to its billing with a dominant run through the provincial championship field. The Hurricanes capped off their impressive weekend with a huge win over Bayside in the gold medal match to claim the OFSAA crown for the third straight year.

Holy Cross opened the tournament with a commanding 79-0 win over host F.E. Madill before defeating St. John Henry Newman of Scarborough 26-7 in its second game.

The Hurricanes continued their march toward the championship by earning a 22-10 victory over Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, securing their place in the gold medal game.

In the final, Holy Cross capped things off in style with another big offensive performance when it mattered most, outscoring Quinte West’s Bayside Secondary School 52-10 to complete an undefeated tournament and secure the OFSAA title.
