North Star football team records sixth straight shutout victory

North Star tacklers swarm the Cardinal Carter ball carrier during last Thursday night’s game at Tecumseh Vista Academy. The Wolves won 35-0.

The perfect season keeps on going for the North Star Wolves senior football team.

The Wolves are now 6-0 and still have yet to allow a point after a 35-0 win over the Cardinal Carter Cougars last Thursday night at Tecumseh Vista Academy.

Ashton Fevreau scored five touchdowns on the night with Steven Craner kicking all five converts.

Fevreau’s touchdown runs came mostly in the first half of last Thursday night’s game, as he scored four before halftime. The fourth came only minutes before the halftime whistle. 

The fifth touchdown came in the third quarter off of a five-yard run.

“I just think we get better every week,” said Fevreau. “We have very high expectations.”

Fevreau said a “brotherhood” has developed among the team this year and they have been getting the job done. They don’t have coaches for every position this year, but they are still finding ways to win and win convincingly.

The coaching staff they do have help guide them to victory, he indicated.

Wolves head coach Joel Charron said they wanted to establish their run game against Cardinal Carter.

“If you can control the line of scrimmage, you can control the game,” said Charron. “That’s exactly what we did.”

This week’s opponent is L’Essor, the team that defeated North Star in last season’s WECSSAA Tier 2 championship game. The Wolves need a win over L’Essor to clinch a spot in this year’s title game, with Charron believing it will be “a tough game against a heated rival, but I believe we can get the job done and punch our ticket.”

Starting quarterback Ryan Reid missed the game against Cardinal Carter due to injury causing Cole Young to get his first high school start under centre. Charron praised the work of the backup quarterback, who had to take over at the last minute.

“He stepped up and he did a great job,” said Charron. 

There has been another schedule change this week, though not a location change. Whereas last week’s game against Cardinal Carter switched from Friday to Thursday and from the Libro Centre to Tecumseh Vista Academy, this week’s game is still at the Libro Centre but is now tonight (Nov. 5) at 5:30 p.m.
