Knights boys win OFSAA bronze (with video)


It's not the colour they wanted but the Holy Names sr. boys soccer team won their last game of the season to earn provincial bronze. "We were so close in the semi-final. All we had to do is just turn around, you know, be a goldfish as Ted Lasso says." said Aaron Thwaites who scored the game tying goal in dramatic fashion.


The Knights trailed 1-0 at St. Clair College Acumen Stadium when Marquise Markiewicz touched a soft pass to a streaking Thwaites who pounded home the tying goal in the last minute of regulation. "I guess we just hold on. Tire everyone out and then we capitalize on our opportunities late." Thwaites said whose team scored with two minutes left in last night's quarter-final game against Georgetown's Christ the King to advance to the semi finals.


It looked as though the contest was headed to penalty kicks when Markiewicz found a streaking Alessio Pizzuto for the game winner. Pizzuto got behind the Michael Power defence and tapped in the clincher with less than 30 seconds left as Holy Names held on to beat their opponents from Etobicoke 2-1.


"Best moment of my life." said Pizzuto. "Best feeling. Honestly not for myself but for my seniors. Those are my brothers. My family so just to let them out with a bronze medal is, amazing moment."

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

​

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.  

​​​​

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

​

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
