Varsity Girls Flag Football
Region Of Peel Finals
November 7, 2003

On November 7, 2003, the St. Thomas Aquinas Girls Flag Football Cardinals reached the finals after a nail-biting 14-13 victory over Brampton Centennial Bucks on November 4th. With four players unavailable at game time, several girls were forced to play both ways. The Mayfield Mavericks scored a touchdown early in the second half, but the Cardinals fought back with a long bomb from quarterback Meghan Hoffberg to wide receiver Sabrina Chirco that ended with a 60-yard touchdown, leaving the teams tied 6-6 at the half. In the second half, all three of the team's ill players dragged their bodies onto to the field to join their teammates, and they began to dominate the second half, leading to a touchdown run by Meghan Hoffberg and a 12-6 lead. The key play for the Cardinals occurred in the 4th quarter, with speedy Cortney Stewart catching Mayfields quarterback in the Mayfield end zone and grabbing a 2-point safety touch which turned out to be the winning points. Mayfield scored a late touchdown, but it wasn't enough as the Cardinals won their first ever Girls Football Championship 14-12. Congratulations to all the players, and coaches Sullivan and Stangret. Coach Sullivan said after the game that he was proud of the girls gutsy effort and their outstanding second half play, and that, of course, mathematics rules. Or something to that effect - the webmaster is really weak in proper quote gathering. On the next five pages are pictures from the Region of Peel Championship game. May I recommend you set your screen to 800 x 600 or possibly 1024 x 768.
