ONT (NWOSSAA): White & Sheedy power Tigers to victory

Caleb White and Cody Sheedy guided the Westgate Tigers to the North Western Ontario Secondary Schools Athletic Association (NWOSSAA) Championship Title as the team unseated two time champions Churchill Trojans 22-13 this past weekend.

In the first quarter, Sheedy got the Tigers on the scoreboard as he tallied a major.

However, the Trojans would respond as pivot Justin Fui connected with Mitchell Spence to take a slim 8-7 lead going into halftime.

After the half, Sheedy tallied his second major of the game and the Tigers were successful on a two point conversion attempt to put the team up 15-8 on the Trojans.

The Trojans kicked a field goal to trim the deficit.  White ran into the end zone for a touchdown score to seal the victory for the Tigers.

White amassed 155 rushing yards on 17 carries for the Tigers in the game. Both White and Sheedy were named MVP’s of the game.

With this victory, the Tigers advance to the OFSAA Bowl Series, where the team will face St. Mary Monarchs (Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association (LOSSAA) representatives) on Thursday November 28th, 2013 at 11:30am.
