Porter, who plays running back, was one of 25 athletes selected to the 2026 Team Ontario U18 Women’s Tackle Program following a competitive selection process that saw more than 90 players from across the province attend the team’s high-performance development camp.

Team Ontario opened the tournament with wins over Quebec and Saskatchewan before continuing its strong run through the championship rounds. Porter scored two touchdowns in Ontario’s 64-0 win over Manitoba before helping lead the team to a gold medal with a 68-8 victory over Quebec in the final, where she scored three touchdowns.

Porter’s recent football accomplishments also include being named the Senior Most Valuable Defensive Player for the Peterborough Kinsmen Minor Football League’s Roughriders in 2022.

The gold medal adds another achievement to a growing list of accomplishments for Porter, who continues to represent Peterborough on the provincial and national football stage.

The Wolverines capped off their season with an impressive championship victory over the Jr Mustangs, bringing home the Dan Grossi Memorial Cup after a 35-14 win in the Ontario Summer Football League (OSFL) final.

Peterborough entered the playoffs after finishing the regular season with a 6-4 record, placing fourth in the OSFL East Division. London also finished fourth in its division, posting a 5-5 record in the West before advancing to the championship game.

The title game was played at Western Alumni Stadium, where the Wolverines finished their season on top with a convincing win.

The championship is named in memory of Dan Grossi, the late president of the Toronto Jr. Argonauts, who was widely recognized for his dedication to youth football and his commitment to supporting young athletes and their families throughout the football community.

The victory caps off a memorable season for the Wolverines, who turned a 6-4 regular season into an OSFL championship and will bring the Dan Grossi Memorial Cup back to Peterborough.
