Laj boys make school history

After 14 years as a head basketball coach at E.J. Lajeunesse Geoff Parent and his players finally got to the top of the mountain. Les Royals won the OFSAA A championship Wednesday night in Timmins. “Extremely exciting. It was a phenomenal game.” Parent said.



Les Royals held their own in the WECSSAA AAA division this season going 5-5 before moving down to the A division for playoffs. ”The intensity, the level and physicality makes a huge difference.“ That experience paid dividends as Lajeunesse defeated Toronto’s George S. Henry Academy 63-58.

It is the first time the school has ever made it to the final. It is also the school’s first ever boys OFSAA title. “Very special group. I’ve said it many times, not the most talented group that I’ve had. The difference with this group is their chemistry. They‘re very family oriented. They fight for each other.it’s been a joy to be around them.”


Brady Kwapisz led Laj with 29 points in the final. Akili Kabano pitched in 16.

"Another great resource for local sports produced by a person that has been invested in local sports for decades."

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.
