St. Vital Mustangs win by four in the Peewee Championship
By Corey Weir
The St. Vital Mustangs won the Peewee Championship 16-12 over the East Side Eagles Sunday Afternoon at Investors Group Field. The Peewee game was part of Football Manitoba’s two-day Championship Weekend event.
The Eagles struck first, putting six points on the board. However, Mustangs runningback and game MVP Tanner Frobisher quickly responded with a touchdown to give the Herd an 8-6 lead.
The Mustangs led 16-6 at half time before Eagles runningback Timothy Jessie ran in a touchdown to make it 16-12 in the third quarter. The final drives of the game suggested a possible comeback for the Eagles, but the Mustangs were able to fend them off for the win.
“We did pretty good, they were really good, their defence played a hell of a game,” said Mustangs quarterback Trent Thornton. “I’m surprised we were able to keep them off this long.”
The Eagles defensive standout was Charles Trey Peterson III, who made numerous tackles throughout the afternoon.
These teams met one other time this season back on Sept. 14, when the Mustangs handed the Eagles a 36-6 beating.
“We pushed them all year and they’ve delivered all year,” said Mustangs head coach Paul Weekes. “We do a lot of work in the fourth quarter drills to be ready for the end of the game and I think that showed in the last drive, stay focused and no mistakes.”
