On November 27, the Lake Ontario Secondary School Athletics (LOSSA) Champion Monsignor Paul Dwyer Saints competed in the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations (OFSAA) Bowl Championship Series at St. Clair College, Windsor, against Barrie North Vikings. In a defensive battle, Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School prevailed 9-7 on the strength of a 37 yard field goal with six minutes remaining. The defence was able to hold the lead and secure the victory to come home with Dwyer's second OFSAA Bowl Championship (Eastern Bowl, 2015).
The Saints opened the scoring with a 46 yard reception for the game's only touchdown. The Saints conceded two safeties in favour of field position to hold a 6-4 advantage at the half. There was no scoring until Barrie took the lead with a field goal of their own with ten minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Saints responded with the aforementioned field goal to regain the lead and never looked back. The defence put a stamp on the game with one more tackle for loss on the Vikings' third down attempt.
Monsignor Paul Dwyer Catholic High School finished the season with an overall record of 6-2, Simcoe Bowl Championship, LOSSA Championship, and ranked 26 in the province by coaches vote. Congratulations!
