The North Star Wolves senior football team started the 2025 WECSSAA football season on a good note.
The Wolves hosted the Catholic Central Comets last Friday night at the Libro Centre in Amherstburg and came away with a 41-0 victory.
The more experienced Wolves took care of business early against a Catholic Central team that played the school’s first football game in five years.
North Star scored on their first two offensive plays, both lengthy touchdown runs by Ashton Fevreau.
Fevreau’s first touchdown was a 60-yard run in the first quarter. His second touchdown run came early in the second quarter when, after a short Catholic Central punt, he took the first play on the next series for 26 yards to the end zone.
Noah Abreu, another returning player from last year, scored a pair of touchdowns before the half. The first was on defence, as he recovered a Comet fumble in the end zone.
The second one later in the second quarter was on offense on a one-yard touchdown run.
Catholic Central looked to have scored on an 87-yard run, but a penalty took the points off the board just before the half.
Fevreau found the end zone again in the third quarter on an 18-yard run where he zig-zagged through the Comet defenders to the house.
Trentin Harris-Price scored on a three-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, with Fevreau connecting with Abreu on a pass for the two-point conversion.
It was Ryan Reid’s first game at quarterback for North Star. Austin Mann kicked three extra points.
“It feels great. Our team came prepared,” said Fevreau, after the game. “We have unfinished business from last year.”
The Wolves made it to the WECSSAA Tier 2 final last year but lost to L’Essor.
Fevreau acknowledged Catholic Central was playing their first game in five years but it was a test to see how ready the Wolves were. He added he was happy a lot of reserves got in to show what they can do.
The Wolves’ next game against the Brennan Cardinals should be “a dogfight,” he added.
North Star head coach Joel Charron said it was nice to be on the winning end once again, referencing last year’s championship game.
“It’s good to get the first win off our backs,” said Charron. “We wanted to get a lot of guys in.”
The execution on the offensive side of the ball was fine, he said, but the effort has to improve. Charron said the players were “lolly-gagging” getting to the line and they played down to their competition at points.
“It’s something we are going to have to work on,” added Charron, indicating that will be a focal point in practice this week.
The next game for the Wolves is this Friday back at the Libro Centre with the game against the Cardinals starting at 5 p.m.
All but one game this season, which runs through Nov. 7, are Friday nights at 5 p.m. at the Libro Centre with the lone road game being at Tecumseh Vista Academy Oct. 9, also at 5 p.m.
