2005: St. Peter Becomes The First NCSSAA Team To Win A National Capital Bowl

Following the post from Thursday, July 15th, about St. Mark's National Capital Bowl victory, I needed to refresh my memory about the history of this series of Bowl games.

It didn't take very long. The previous year, Martin Cleary provided all the details while covering St. Peter's success in that game for the Ottawa Citizen, including past participants. That was very handy.

2006: St. Mark Lions Win the National Capital Bowl

The High School page above tends to focus on local results but the article and accompanying image copied here gave me the idea to include recent National Capital Bowl results as well. Results from the EOSSAA games from the 40s are noted, why wouldn't these be?

I'll do that as I happen across them but in the meantime, enjoy reading about an ending that had to be simultaneously mystifying and stress-inducing for Lions coach Paul Brown. 😬
