Football Canada Cup, Day 2: Ontario 30, Québec 16

It's probably OK to be a little surprised by this one.  Québec has participated in the last four gold medal games and won the last three.  They had to be considered a favourite, but Team Ontario clearly wasn't in any mood to lay down.  The win put Ontario in the tournament's gold medal game.

...Following a Quebec single on the opening kickoff, a Deshaun Stevens pick six to put Ontario up 7-1. 

Later in the half, Ontario gambled on 3rd and 2 at the Quebec 45-yard line. The gamble paid off as quarterback Kevin John found receiver John Wotherspoon for the touchdown strike to widen the Ontario lead 14-3. 

An interception by linebacker Tchad Ayotte gave Quebec great field position at the Ontario 6-yard line. With their backs at the end zone Ontario’s defense stood strong, holding Quebec to a field goal to make the score 15-6. 

Ontario widened their lead to 23-6 as quarterback Tristan Arndt found Javante Stanley in the end zone. The play was set-up following a fumble recovery at the Quebec 25-yard line. 

After a field goal made it 15-6, Zacharie Quiviger responded following his turnover, running the ball in from the 2-yard line to narrow Ontario’s lead 23-16. 

Jevante Stanley cemented the Ontario win with a 56-yard touchdown run to make the final score 30-16.

The score is incorrectly listed on the Football Canada website as being 30-6.
