Huntsville’s first-place junior team played fourth-place Almaguin Secondary School in the first match. The Hoyas dominated this game and came out with a 10-2 victory. Scoring for Huntsville were Jorge Ortega, Jon Brown, Jon Vande Ende, Aaron Chapman, Duncan O’Brien, Brandon Rae, Luke Alexander (2) and Bruno Roldan (2). The juniors then faced Bracebridge in the championship match. This game was very evenly matched; when the game was over, the Hoyas were victorious with a 2-0 score. Ortega and Rae scored for Huntsville. This was the first time in many years that Huntsville won the MPS cham- pionships for junior boys’ soccer. Huntsville’s first-place senior team played the fourth-place St. Dominic’s team for its first match of the day. This game ended in Huntsville’s favour with a 4-0 win. Roland Tusz and Ben Murat scored the first two goals. A St. Dominic’s player scored on his own net, and then Erik MacPherson gave up a shot on net and unselfishly passed it across so that Taylor Marshall could tap it into the net for the fourth goal. The seniors also faced Bracebridge in the championship match.
