Wolves win again on football field, make history in the process

North Star’s Alex Greason (60) and Noah Abreu tackle the Brennan ball carrier during last Thursday’s game at the Libro Centre.

The North Star Wolves senior football team has their eye on a rematch with L’Essor in the bowl series after clinching a place in the championship game last week.


The Wolves improved to 5-1 last Thursday night as they beat the visiting Brennan Cardinals 42-0 at the Libro Centre. North Star’s Ashton Fevreau rushed for three touchdowns on the night, the first coming on the initial play from scrimmage as he ran 80 yards to the endzone. 


The scoring dried up for much of the first half, as the Wolves were only able to tack on a 25-yard Fynn Randall field goal in the second quarter.


It was in the third quarter where the Wolves’ offense erupted. Brennan conceded a safety to make it 12-0 with Fevreau following shortly thereafter with a 21-yard score to expand the lead to 19-0.


The Cardinals were pinned back in their own territory later in the quarter and subsequently conceded another safety and that put the Wolves up 21-0.


Fevreau scored on a 75-yard run to make it 28-0 with Noah Abreu taking a fumble 62 yards to the endzone later in the quarter. The latter touchdown saw the initial extra point attempt blocked but North Star got a second try thanks to a Brennan penalty. The second attempt was good, with Brennan taking a North Star penalty on the play on the ensuing kickoff.


Trentin Harris-Price scored his first touchdown on a one-yard run in the fourth quarter.


“Our first half was a bit slow,” said Fevreau. “We played down to their level.”


Their play improved in the second half and Fevreau added their defense remained focused. He added that he’s on pace for a good WECSSAA season and he is being given the opportunity by the coaches to get the ball. Fevreau also credited the play of their offensive line.


“It feels really good,” Harris-Price added of his touchdown.


North Star head coach Joel Charron said they wanted Harris-Price to get his first touchdown. He also said Anthony Scott had a strong game, including a pair of quarterback sacks.


“It feels good to clinch,” he said. “It feels good to make history.”


Charron said it was the first Grade 9-12 football team to make the finals.


“I couldn’t be more proud of the kids,” said Charron. “They worked their butts off.”


Charron noted they played to the level of their opponents in the first half, as Brennan is now 1-4 on the season.


“We got away from doing what we do best,” he said.


Charron added he laid down a challenge to the players and they answered it in the second half. 


The Wolves conclude the regular season against a winless Massey team Thursday (Nov. 7), but stated they can’t overlook the Mustangs either.


“We’re just going to play our game,” he said.Wolves win again on football field, make history in the process
