Collège Charles-Lemoyne Dynamiques (3-5) vs É. Sec. Armand-Corbeil Scorpions (7-1) The Dynamiques QB/RB, Gabriel Cyr-Dandurand, and the rest of the Charles-Lemoyne team almost pulled it off. The Scorpions’ defence, their weak link, was manipulated by Cyr-Dandurand who completed 11 out of 24 for 103 yards and rushing for 85 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Dynamiques defence did not stop the Armand-Corbeil offence, who compiled a whopping 653 yards including 435 yards on the ground, but kept them from piling up too many points. But the heavy loaded Scorpions’ offensive machine, including QB Justin Leduc, who completed 15 out of 19 for 218 yards, 1 touchdown and rushed for 67 yards, produced a 30-28 victory to propel them to the semifinals.

École Sec. Pointe-Lévy Corsaires (3-5) vs Séminaire Saint-Joseph Vert et Or (5-3) The Gold and Green defence could not stop the Corsaires’ QB/RB Adrien Guay, who almost produced the upset.

The Saint-Joseph QB/RB Charles Cossette, only attempted 10 passes which he completed 5 for 36 yards and a major, but the mistake free pivot relied on the efficiency of RB Philippe Morin who racked up 157 yards on 20 carries to sink the Corsaires’ ship 36-30 and pass to the next round.

École Sec. Saint-Stanislas Patriotes (4-4) vs Collège de Lévis Commandeurs (5-3) This was another close one, and the Patriotes end up on the losing end again. The Saint-Stanislas QB, Félix Marsolais, completed 6 out of 12 for 125 yards, 1 touchdown, threw 4 interceptions and was brought down twice. Their running game did alright with RB, Yves-Christian Bararuhanya, who rushed for 116 yards on 28 carries and a touchdown.

The Lévis QB, Tristan Blais, did throw an interception, but he completed 8 out of 27 for 198 yards, 1 touchdown and rushed for 47 yards, which helped the number 3 ranked RB Gabriel Leblond, rush for 96 yards on 19 carries. The Lévis defence, commanded by DE Vincent Michaud, who had 1 sack during the bout, had the impact predicted and they came out with a 21-13 win to extend their season one more game.
