Undefeated! Wallaceburg Wins SWOSSAA Football Final

It was a dream season for the Wallaceburg Tartans senior football team. They went undefeated in the regular season posting a perfect 6-0 record, only to extend that to 8-0 on route to their first senior Kent Football Championship in more than a decade. They followed that up by defeating St. Christophers to make their record 9-0. Thursday however at the University of Windsor, the Tartans capped off an unbelievable season defeating the Kennedy Clippers 35-7 to capture the SWOSSAA football championship and go undefeated on the season with a perfect 10-0 record.

Early in the game, as he has all season, Jonah Pataki ran in a touchdown from roughly 45-yards out. Following a rouge, the Tartans held an 8-0 lead.

Kennedy responded with a touchdown of their own to close the gap to 8-7.

Lee Purnell however, would pick up the Tartans and carry them into the endzone yet again to expand their lead to 14-7 heading into the 4th quarter. Purnell, a 5th year student, scored twice in the SWOSSAA semi-final as well. Pataki then added another touchdown with only 5 minutes remaining to put the Tartans up 21-7.

Purnell wasn’t done there either, as he ran in a late 4th quarter touchdown from 28-yards out.

With only minutes left, after a dropped punt by the Kennedy Clippers on their own 10-yard line, Jonah Pataki rounded out the scoring punching in a 10-yard run to close out the game 35-7.

With no OFSAA in ‘AA’ senior football, Wallaceburg has come as far as they can this season, as the undisputed 2011 champions.

    Don’t forget the Tartans also won a preseason game 47-0 against Culver Military School in Indiana at the beginning of the season. 11-0. Pretty impressive.
    One of the greatest Tartan football teams ever.

      Yes, this team started their season with an impressive beating south of the border. They really did have it all together this year and it was a tret to follow them. Too bad there isn’t an OFSAA game for them to play!
