The Huronia Stallions Varsity Football Team improved to 2-0 this season with a 22-0 victory over the Clarington Tigers.  Quarterback Tivon Cook led the offence with 233 passing yards and 2 touchdowns.  Connor Maxwell’s touchdown grab was very impressive as he broke several tackles and scored while dragging a defender into the endzone.  Adam Zussino caught the other Cook touchdown pass demonstrating fine route running in the process.  Tailback John Shields rushed for 86 tough yards and a touchdown against a stout Tigers run defence.  Jesse Alves was the leading Stallions receiver with 8 receptions for 99 yards.  The defence played extremely well yet again in week two and has only yielded 6 points all season.  Defensive Coordinator Taylor Shadgett said that the team had “a pretty good week of preparation,” and the Defence had “12 guys running to the ball” throughout the game.  He credited Linebackers Ryan Gallagher, Zac Keogh and Mat Telford with strong games on the Defensive side of the ball.  Gallagher was the leading tackler with 8 total tackles and a key interception.  The Stallions are on the road in week 3 at Sudbury.
