Saints Thunder, Lightning Brings End to OFC Title Rout

WINDSOR, ON — The St. Clair College football team left no doubt about who reigns supreme in the Ontario Football Conference, cruising to a 54-0 win over the Hamilton Hurricanes to claim their fourth consecutive OFC championship on Saturday.



Quarterback Matt Guenette wasted no time, hitting Marselio Mendez with a 38-yard touchdown pass on the game's opening drive. The early strike set the tone as the Saints rolled over the Hurricanes in dominant fashion.


But as fierce as the Saints were on the field, it was the weather that ultimately brought the game to a premature end. Lightning spotted north of the city delayed play late in the third quarter. After a 30-minute pause and a 10-minute warmup, both teams prepared to resume—until two more lightning flashes sealed the game’s fate.


Officials called the game at the end of the third quarter, prompting the Saints to rush the field in celebration of another championship victory.


The decisive shutout capped a perfect season for St. Clair, further solidifying their status as the OFC’s undisputed powerhouse. They will head to British Columbia to face Okanagan next weekend. The Saints beat the Sun at Acumen Stadium a year ago to win the CJFL title.


Check out Mendez's touchdown, play time before resumption and the celebration in the following video.

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
