Gamble pays off for McGarrell

It's plays like this that has led to Cyrus McGarrell earning a D1 scholarship to Northern Illinois. This is McGarrell tracking down and thwarting what should have been a Herman touchdown during the 2018 WECSSAA championships.



With dreams of playing NCAA football Cyrus McGarrell wasn't about to let the pandemic ruin his chances. The 18-year old chose to leave Holy Names and play in Florida at Clearwater Academy. McGarrell got noticed and eventually got an offer from Northern Illinois. It's a great accomplishment considering the cornerback lost his grade 11 year after breaking his collarbone during the first game of the season.

aboutus

Powerplay Windsor was born during a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass sparked a memory—being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan early in my career. That moment brought to mind the upcoming Windsor Lancers football camp and the many fall sports that would go uncovered due to cuts in legacy media sports coverage.

​

Recognizing this gap, and with the support of my loving wife and family, I launched Powerplay Sports as a passion project.

Founded locally and operated locally, we blend traditional sports reporting with modern digital storytelling.

​

From high school athletics and post secondary programs to junior hockey and grassroots clubs, we shine the spotlight on the people who make our sports community vibrant.

​

Our video channel brings you highlights, interviews and behind the scenes access. We are courtside, rinkside and on the field capturing moments that matter. See you soon.

"We celebrate all of the athletes within Windsor-Essex and their achievements reflected on Powerplay Sports." 

John Fairley, St. Clair College

"Another great resource for local sports produced by a person that has been invested in local sports for decades."
