The 3-seed Cumberland Panthers won their first OSFL U18 playoff game this past weekend in dominating fashion, handing the visiting (7-seed) Brampton Bulldogs a 44-00 setback.
Hopefully we get some coverage of that but two weekends ago, the Panthers closed out the regular season with a road game in Sault-Ste-Marie. I've located an article about that game written by Brad Coccimiglio for sootoday.com and share an excerpt of it below.
Cumberland jumped out to an early lead as Jerry Momo ran the ball 77 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage. Jayden Bonhomme kicked the extra point to make it 7-0 Panthers early.
The Panthers made it 14-0 as Zai Vaillancourt caught a pass from quarterback Wolfgang Schad for a 45-yard touchdown. Bonhomme kicked the convert on the play.
The Sabercats got on the board in the second quarter as Konner Ritchie ran the ball in from two yards out. The major, combined with the subsequent convert by Daniel Bumbaco made it 14-7.
The locals had an opportunity to tie the game in the third quarter when Lucas Malcolm recovered a fumbled punt deep in Cumberland territory. The Sabercats would get the ball down to the Panthers one, but couldn’t convert on the opportunity
Cumberland then added to the lead in the third quarter when Momo ran the ball 108 yards for a touchdown. With the convert by Bonhomme, the Panthers led 21-7.
After the Cumberland lead got extended to 23-7 with a safety, the Panthers made it 30-7 in the fourth quarter when Bonhomme caught a 17-yard touchdown pass from Schad in the fourth quarter.
...
Momo led the Panthers with 198 yards rushing on five carries in addition to a 10-yard catch.
Vaillancourt finished the day with 53 yards receiving on a pair of catches.
