On Friday, September 30th, the Superior Heights Steelhawks took to the field to face the Korah Colts in junior high school football action in Sault Ste Marie at Superior Heights.

At 8:05 of the opening quarter, Korah’s Diego Campagna catches a 23 yard pass from Brycen Sloss in the Steelhawks endzone to give the Colts a 6 – 0 lead. Mikah Cuglietta found the uprights to add to the lead for the convert. AJ Coccimiglio rushes for Korah second major of the contest 6:52 into the second quarter with a 53 yard touchdown to bring the Colts lead to 14 – 0 with a successful Coccimiglio convert. Campagna increases the lead for Korah with a 62 yard carry at 7:23 of the third to give Korah a 20 – 0 lead. Nathan Higham adds to the Colts lead at 8:33 of the fourth with Cuglietta adding the convert to the lead to bring the lead to 27 – 0. After a Ben Trevisanut 42 yard carry, Will Middaugh catches a 12 yard pass from Carter Neabel on the next play to pull the Steelhawks within 20 after a Dylan Wootton convert with 56.6 seconds remaining in Friday’s contest. Evading three tackles and 12.6 seconds left on the scoreboard, Cam Williamson runs for a 82 yard touchdown carry to give the Colts a 33 – 7 win over the Steelhawks.

Korah coach Marco Bernabucci told Saultsports that “I thought our guys played a full four quarters this week. As a staff we were very happy with how our young guys stepped in and we didn’t miss a beat. We still have some things to clean up and work on but we will enjoy this and get back to work Monday.”

After a loss to the Colts, Superior Heights coach Jared Klooster said that “as a coaching staff we saw some improvements today, but we need to execute more effectively and avoid turnovers. Our offense had some sustained drives, but fumbled deep in Korah end. Our defense need to work on containing our opposition’s offense to be more successful.

The Steelhawks will take on the White Pines Wolverines on Thursday, October 6th in a 5:45 p.m start while the Colts meet the St Mary’s Knights on Friday, October 7th with a 4:45 p.m kickoff.
