Mustangs to face Warriors in YRAA Championship rematch




By Jake Courtepatte

It's a case of déjà vu in York Region football.
In a predictable rematch, the St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic High School Mustangs of Aurora will face the Huron Heights Warriors of Newmarket in the York Region Athletic Association's championship on Saturday, after dominating performances in their semifinal matchups.
Mustangs senior quarterback Ben Langlois proved his status as a YRAA all-star with four touchdown passes in Thursday's tilt with the Bill Crothers Colts, who finished third in league standings.
While his arm found Nolan Lovegrove twice, and Jordan Torres and Jack Camplin once, in the end zone, Langlois ran it in himself for the Mustangs other major in the game.
Running back Ron Boshoer ruled the ground work in the game, picking up 191 rushing yards in a 43 – 9 victory.
The next day saw the Warriors taking on the 3 - 3 King City Lions in the other semifinal game, a lopsided affair that ended in a final score of 55 – 1.
Danny McWhirter had two rushing majors, followed by one each in the air from Jericho Daher and Aiden Mielzcarek, by the end of the first half as the Warriors took a 32 – 1 lead into intermission.
Jayden Thompson also picked up two touchdowns in the game for the Warriors.
The win has moved the Warriors into the top ten ranked teams in the nation, according to canadafootballchat.com, jumping from eleventh to ninth thanks to their semifinal win.
The first and second-ranked teams were on a separate level from their opponents all season, the Mustangs going 5 – 1 losing only to Huron, who finished the season 6 – 0.
Saturday's game will be a rematch of the 2015 final, where the Warriors spoiled the Mustang's first trip to the championship in a 42 – 3 victory.
This year marks Huron's thirteenth consecutive trip to the regional final.
The two teams will face off in a full day of football action at St. Max on Saturday, kicking off with King City and Bill Crothers determining the consolation champion at noon, followed by the Tier II final between the Villanova Knights and Brother Andre Cardinals at 3 p.m.
The championship game is set for a 6 p.m. kickoff.
