The Lakeshore Catholic Gator return to the Golden Horseshoe bowl in 2012 for the 6th time since 2000. After an early season loss, the Gators have won 8 in a row including a come-from-behind victory over Peel champion St. Marguerite d’Youville, a game where they spotted their opponent 17 points before answering with 24 straight points for the victory.
Like the Gators, the Rams opened their season with a week one loss, but regrouped and fought their way through the competitive tier 1 Halton division. An upset victory over previous CFC #3 and undefeated Corpus Christi in the Halton final has given the Rams the confidence needed to excel in the next part of the playdowns.
