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. 😬

The OHSF All-Decade Team

The outstanding Ottawa High School Football social media accounts have spent the month listing off an all decade team. They have done a hell of a job in describing each player's accomplishments, giving us a glimpse as to what each guy is currently up to and providing video highlights, photography, etc.

Since the position tends to get so little recognition, I've copied the offensive linemen below. I won't encroach onto OHSF's event any further beyond strongly recommending that you check it out. I believe OHSF has a Facebook group but I've followed the proceedings on Instagram specifically (which is why that link is provided earlier) and enjoyed it tremendously on that platform.

2002: Ashbury's Most Recent Senior Crown

Yesterday, I copied from articles detailing Colonel By's first (and only) senior football championship.

As lead up to their attempt at securing a second one Wednesday night, we'll look at their opponent's last such victory back in 2002. It was Ashbury's third and, oddly enough, St. Mark was the victim each time.






So St. Mark saw their crown taken away by the team they took it away from in the first place. Ashbury were 1999 and 2000 champs, St. Mark earned the title in 2001 be defeating Gloucester. See the "high school" page above for a full list of champions by year.

St. Mark would regain the championship in 2006, defeating Ashbury for it 45-00.

Note: The article above is incomplete. I chose against copying a couple of paragraphs that seemed irrelevant.
