The junior varsity Ottawa Myers Riders of the Ontario Varsity Football Conference (OVFL) is one of the top-ranked teams in Ontario.
Last weekend, the team showed exactly why with a 51-14 blowout victory over the Toronto Thunder.
“We were fired up for that game because of the implications for the standings,” said Myers Riders Head Coach Matt Kassner “We able to maintain momentum throughout the game.”
Running back Jalla Lansanah came up big on offence as well as special teams as he scored a touchdown off a kickoff return.
Defensive back Max Lavallee was key in shutting down the Thunder’s top receivers throughout the game.
This upcoming weekend, the Myers Riders will be on the road as the team visits the the York-Simcoe Bucs (3-2).
Because of the long travel time for Myers, Kassner notes the importance of making sure to “come out of the gate fast” against the Bucs.
Myers Riders is undefeated with a 5-0 record this season and look to move into a tie with rivals the Cumberland Panthers at 6-0.
Advocating for football prospects one story at a time.
