Tant de choses qui avaient mal tourné lors du match contre Ottawa pourraient facilement expliquer la défaite de l'équipe junior, mais je vais seulement discuter quelques-uns.
2010-Oct-10 suivi: ma description du comportement de l'équipe des Jr. Riders sur le terrain a provoqué quelques réactions de la part des gens d'Ottawa sur le site web de www.capitalregionfootball.info. C'est bien, on devrait avoir une discussion seine, civilisée et franche à propos de se sujet. |
So many things went wrong during the game against Ottawa that could easily explain the junior team's loss but I'll cover just a few.
2010-Oct-10 follow-up: my assessment of the way the Jr. Riders behaved on the field sparked some reaction from people in Ottawa on the www.capitalregionfootball.info website. That's good, we should have a nice, healthy, frank discussion about things like this. |

Si l'équipe midget continue de jouer de la même façon pour le reste de la saison alors elle pourrait battre n'importe quelle équipe de la ligue.On devrait conserver le film de cette partie dans un coffre-fort et s'en servir de lui pour des fins de la formation d'autres équipes qui voudraient s'améliorer. La victoire des Stallions midget était un cas d'un démantèlement technique et méthodique d'un adversaire. Toutefois, contrairement au match de l'équipe junior contre Ottawa, ça fut fait avec classe et sans des éléments qui laissaient un mauvais gout. Ils n'ont pas gagné simplement parce qu'ils avaient joué contre une mauvaise équipe. Au contraire, les Rhinos ont beaucoup de joueurs compétents et talentueux qui ont fait de nombreux bons jeux, en particulier sur la défense, mais les Stallions avaient un meilleur plan du match et ils l'ont exécuté parfaitement, à partir du quart-arrière qui restait dans la poche, surveillait calmement le terrain et qui lançait des ballons comme s'il s'agissait des flèches aux receveurs qui les attrapaient en courant et cherchaient des verges additionnelles. Grâce à un pourcentage des passes complétées de 75 %, Maxime Trudeau avait établi un nouveau record de l'équipe midget pour le plus de verges par la passe dans un match avec 458, ainsi battant l'ancien record de 410 verges, établi en 2005 par Alex Houle. Neuf joueurs différents avaient capté des passes, en commençant par le centre-arrière Alex Cronn qui avait attrapé une passe pour huit, Alexandre Normand, qui a capté quatre passes pour 89 verges et en finissant par Pier-Olivier Cherrier qui avait capté six passes pour 151 verges. Au sol, quatre joueurs différents avaient cumulé des verges, en commençant par le receveur Christopher Minier qui a gagné cinq verges sur une portée, Trudeau qui en avait 36 verges sur 13 courses et Bryce Vieira qui avait ajouté 165 verges sur 17 courses. Son effort est devenu le 6-ème meilleur performance jamais pour l'équipe midget. Comme preuve supplémentaire que cette victoire était un effort de l'équipe entière, dix-sept joueurs différents ont fait des contributions à la défense. Nicholas Gagnon-Parsons et Jesse Walsh avaient fait le plus de plaqués tandis que Christopher Blair, Walsh et Sébastien Blair avaient chacun fait une interception tandis que Codey Daly en avait deux. Nicolas Lefebvre avait recouvré un échappé. Le défi pour l'équipe midget maintenant est de ne pas lâcher, de ne pas prendre pour acquis n'importe quel adversaire et de jouer avec la même détermination et l'intensité en route vers la Coupe Jack Simpson. Peu importe si vous battiez une équipe 50 à 0. Tant que vous le faites avec de la classe et avec respect, ils apprécieront les leçons apprises. Une dernière remarque à propos des Rhinos: ils avaient, eux aussi, l'esprit de records parce que c'était la première fois qu'un adversaire de l'équipe midget avait joué un match complet sans avoir subi pénalités, que ce soit en attaque ou en défense. (À fin d'être précis, les Rhinos se sont fait signalés à quelques reprises pour «non-respect de l'immunité » sur les retours de bottés de dégagement, mais ces pénalités avaient été refusés alors elles ne comptent pas). |
If the midget team plays the same way for the rest of the season they could beat any team in the league.The film of this game should be locked in a vault and used for instructional purposes by other teams that want to get better. The midget Stallions' win was a case study of a clinical, technical and methodical deconstruction of an opponent. However, unlike the junior team's game against Ottawa, it was done with class and there was nothing cheap about it. They did not win because they played a bad team. On the contrary, the Rhinos have many competent and talented players who made many good plays, especially on defense, but the Stallions had a better game plan and they executed it perfectly, starting with the quarterback who stayed in the pocket, calmly surveyed the field and threw measured strikes to receivers who would catch the ball in stride and go for extra yards. Thanks to the 75% completion ratio, Maxime Trudeau established a new midget team record for most passing yards in a game with 458, beating the old record of 410 yards set in 2005 by Alex Houle. Nine different players caught passes, starting with fullback Alex Cronn who gained eight yards on one catch, Alexandre Normand who caught four passes for 89 yards and finishing with Pier-Olivier Cherrier who contributed 151 yards on six catches. On the ground, four different players gained yards carrying the ball, starting with wide receiver Christopher Minier who gained five yards on one rush, Trudeau who had 36 yards on 13 carries and Bryce Vieira who added 165 yards on 17 carries, which made it the 6-th best rushing effort in a game ever for the midget team. As further proof of how much this win was a complete team effort, seventeen different players contributed defensively. Nicholas Gagnon-Parsons and Jesse Walsh made the most tackles while Christopher Blair, Walsh and Sébastien Blair each had an interception whereas Codey Daly had two. Nicholas Lefebvre recovered a fumble. The challenge now is not to let up, not to take any opponent for granted and to play with the same determination and intensity all the way to the Jack Simpson Cup game. It doesn't matter if you beat a team 50-0. As long as you do it with class and with respect, they will appreciate the lessons learned. One final note about the Rhinos: they also got into the record setting spirit because it was the first time ever that an opponent of the Stallions midget team played a complete game without getting any penalties, whether on offense or defense. (For the sake of accuracy, the Rhinos were flagged a couple of times for 'no-yards' on punt returns but those penalties were declined so they do not count). |

The Stallions bantam team's loss to the Wildcats eliminated the last faint hope they had of avoiding relegation to the lower division for the next season. The only remaining question is whether they will finish 7-th and face the Sun Youth Hornets in the playoffs or 8-th and meet the North Shore Lions. The following article appeared in the Hudson Gazette: |
ST. LAZARE - The 2009 Bantam Stallions finished with an impressive 7-3 season, graduating a great many players to the midget level, leaving only a handful of 2010 veterans to defend St. Lazare's position in the prestigious and fiercely competitive Bill Allan division.
That shortage was obvious as the Bantams lost 36-14 on Saturday to the Laurentian Wildcats, but in the big picture the loss is insignificant. The character displayed is what is relevant. The Stallions were clearly disadvantaged, having fewer veterans, but the veterans they do have are outstanding. At the helm of the Stallion offence, displaying exceptional quarterback mechanics, is Quaid Johnson. Midway through the second quarter, Quaid's athleticism influenced most of the Wildcat defenders in the wrong direction with a beautiful fake, allowing Kevin Cronn to easily run into the end zone for their first touchdown.
Quaid's talent didn't end there. He got his nose dirty all game long making big stops on special teams and defense from the linebacker position.
Ryan Dickson was the workhorse on offence from the ground. Dickson ran like a truck and had two spectacular gains down the near sideline, first sidestepping, then straight-arming and finally running over defenders to set up the Stallions first touchdown and scoring their second. Dickson also made significant contributions on defense at linebacker.
Kevin Cronn was everywhere, making fans wonder if there were two players with the number 36 Stallions jersey. Patrick Giroux and Simon Duhaime also made large contributions on both sides of the ball. The Stallion veterans were on the field for most of the entire 60 minutes. They led by example, and played their hearts out bringing 'game' right down to the end, never letting up. Their leadership elevated the play of the entire team.
The civil code defines the age of maturity to be 18. I would argue the Quebec Bantam Football League defies this standard, proving Mother Nature to be indifferent. Somewhere in the two years of carpooling her young teens from home to the practice field, a mother will begin to notice her little boy has become unrecognizable. It is in the transition from age 14 to 15 these physical changes are most apparent. These young boys turned men can easily be spotted from the sidelines or the stands. At 15, these boys are suddenly visibly bigger, stronger, faster, and more aggressive. In Bantam level football, boys physically grow into men. Testosterone rules the day. The veteran members welcome their younger counterparts into this new fraternity starting at training camp by violently sending them to the turf with a jarring helmet to the chin as initiation, separating those who want to play football from those who merely think they do.
To those who have played, the game begins to take on a more significant meaning. Tackling becomes hitting and an inside running play becomes smash mouth, snot nose football. The program with the greatest number of experienced veteran players will have the clear advantage. Coaches will do their best to transcend this advantage, but biology is biology. Back to last weekend's game: True character is revealed in the face of adversity. The character demonstrated by the Bantams team was nothing short of inspiring, leaving Investors Group at least two awards shy of properly recognizing outstanding contribution. Stallions fans are proud to have these young men as ambassadors of our communities.
