The North Star Wolves have won their first three games, all by shutout.


The Wolves defeated the Massey Mustangs 58-0 last Friday evening at the Libro Centre in Amherstburg, with that win not only giving North Star a 3-0 record in WECSSAA Tier 2 but also showing that the Wolves have scored 140 points this season and allowed none.


Massey dropped to 0-3 with the loss.


The Wolves took control of the game early and led 28-0 after one quarter. A 68-yard touchdown run by Ashton Fevreau was called back on a holding penalty on the game’s first play from scrimmage but, two plays later, he found the endzone anyway on a 64-yard run.


Shortly after, Noah Abreu took a Massey punt to the Mustangs five yard line then was handed the ball on the next offensive play and scored a touchdown to give the Wolves a 14-0 advantage.

The Wolves went up 21-0 on a drive that started thanks to a Steven Craner fumble recovery. That drive ended on a 13-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Ryan Reid to Abreu.


Fevreau scored on a 55-yard punt return late in the first quarter. 


Grayson Wilson gave North Star a 35-0 lead in the second quarter thanks to a 15-yard touchdown run. Fevreau zig-zagged his way to the endzone later in the second quarter on a 32-yard touchdown run to give North Star a 42-0 halftime advantage.


Tyree Richardson returned an interception for a touchdown roughly 54 yards in the third quarter and Massey conceded a safety later in the quarter.


The only scoring in the fourth quarter was a four-yard touchdown run by Trentin Harris-Price.


Steven Craner and Austin Mann kicked the conversions with Mann taking over after Craner sustained an injury.


“Our offense played great, our defense hasn’t let up a point this season,” said Abreu. “I think we’re looking like the best team in Tier 2.”


Abreu added they ran the ball like they have in the first two games and executed their game plan.


While they expect to win every game they play, Abreu added they “treat every quarter like it’s 0-0.” 


The Wolves play their only road game this season this Thursday (Oct. 9) at 5:30 p.m. at Tecumseh Vista Academy. Abreu expects that to be a tougher game.


“We expect a dogfight with Vista,” he said.


Defensive co-ordinator Rusty Parsons said they have a great group of players on the defensive side of the ball. 


“They all play as a unit,” he said. “That definitely helps.”


If the Wolves get a lead early, Parsons added their strong defense can hold off opponents.


Parsons also expects a bigger challenge from Tecumseh Vista Academy but expects North Star to play the same style of defense against the Vortex.


After the Tecumseh Vista game, the Wolves’ next home game is Oct. 24 at 5:30 p.m. against the Kennedy Clippers.
