When Lajeunesse visited Riverside Wednesday the game was going to decide who would have a crack at being the regular season champs. Both teams were 4-0 heading in. "We knew we had to come in strong," said Royal head coach Kim Adams whose team lost to the Stingers last weekend during a local tournament. "We switched things up. We knew this game had to be a win for us to stay ahead in the league.



Peyton Quenneville scored three goals to lead Lajeunesse to a 5-2 win. Manuela Vettraino and Sierra Gosselin scored singles for Le Royal while Azlaya Middleton and Lily Scofield tallied for the Stingers who dropped to 4-1.

"It was a tough game for us," said Middleton who scored in the first half. "We just had a rough game today. This is our first loss. In other games we've been high in scoring and we've come together as a team. It's a frustrating loss but we've come a long way.


Riverside is now third in the Group 2 (A/AA) division and close out the season at home Monday against the Herman Green Griffins who are 5th at 1-3-1.


Lajeunesse is the lone A school playing ball this spring and have used the season to prepare for a chance to attain their ultmate goal. "We're using every game as a practice experience. We tried to get in a lot of tournaments this year and our goal is OFSSA. Our goal is to get a medal at OFSAA."

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.
