Roos’ on the Rise – A Team No One Wants to Face

Roos’ have been hovering around the middle of the pack—competitive, but inconsistent. That narrative could be changing, their 36-28 victory over Flag moi L’sac was a defining moment, proving that they can still be dominant and go toe-to-toe with anyone. Daniel Lazzara has quietly put together an efficient season when on the field, throwing for 942 yards and 17 touchdowns with only 2 interceptions and a 73.0% completion rate.

Their pass rush has also changed the game, Raffaele Morelli is tied leading the division with 7 sacks, and that pressure has helped Roos’ disrupt even the best offenses. AJ Gomes, who has filled in at QB a few times already this season, continues to prove his versatility, being a key piece in multiple phases of the game.

New Blood Making Noise: U18 Squads Growing in Confidence

While Team Quebec U18A and U18B have had their struggles this season, they’re quickly earning the respect of the division. Both squads have been gaining experience at an accelerated pace, competing with veteran teams and showing flashes.

Despite a 19-12 loss to Vengeance, U18B’s defense stepped up in a major way, forcing mistakes and keeping the game close. Raphael Gadbois and Markus D’Alessandro continue to develop at QB, showing poise under pressure and improving chemistry with receivers.

For U18A, their 31-point outing against Flag moi L’sac earlier in the season was no fluke. They have the talent and speed to compete, and once they fully adjust to the physicality and pace of 5v5 Comp, they’ll start to pick it up.

Vengeance Establishing Their Identity

With a 40-12 win over Party Throwers, Vengeance sent a loud message: They’re hunting for the top seed, and they can do it even without star quarterback Kevin Wyeth. In his absence, Benjamin McMahon stepped up in a big way, completing 25 of 28 passes for 243 yards and 6 touchdowns. He spread the ball efficiently, with Jaylan Greaves (66 yards, 2 TDs), Alex Pilon (73 yards, 1 TD), and Rory Semerjian (47 yards, 1 TD) all making key plays.

Kevin Wyeth’s 1,000 passing yards and 19 TDs kept the offense rolling earlier in the season, while the duo of Bakari Barrett and Jaylan Greaves has turned their secondary into a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. Vengeance’s secondary remains one of the best in the division. Even without their usual offensive leader in Wyeth, they dominated both sides of the ball, proving they’re a complete team.

One of the most underrated aspects of Vengeance’s success has been their ability to create pressure, Ethan Adrian is tied leading the division with 7 sacks, making opposing QBs uncomfortable and forcing bad throws. If he continue to control the line of scrimmage, with the ball-hawks Vengeance has, they could be the biggest threat to Braves’ hold on the division.

Braves Stay on Top, But Do They Have Another Gear?

The Braves were missing their entire QB depth chart—starter Jonathan Maheu, backups William Trottier and Guillaume Beland, leaving Gabriel-Charles Dabe Champagne to step in as the fourth-string quarterback. He didn’t just manage—he dominated.

Leading the Braves to a 46-7 rout over Team Quebec U18A, Champagne was near-perfect, completing 17 of 21 passes for 236 yards and 7 touchdowns. His ability to stay calm and distribute the ball efficiently made the transition seamless. Jeremy Murphy (84 yards, 3 TDs) and Emile Chateauvert (84 yards, 2 TDs) were his go-to targets.

This performance from Champagne not only proved the Braves’ depth but also showcased a new potential weapon for the team moving forward. If they ever need another emergency QB, they now know they have a capable, confident option in Gabriel-Charles Dabe Champagne.

Jeremy Murphy has emerged as a true defensive leader, ranking among the division’s top defenders with 14 tackles and 4 interceptions. With a rematch against Flag moi L’sac looming, they’ll need to prove they can win in a shootout.

The Jamesons: A Team in Search of Answers

The Jamesons came into the season looking to be a dark horse, but so far, things haven’t gone their way. With a 1-3 record and a -30 point differential, they’ve struggled to find consistency on both sides of the ball. Their offense has yet to string together the kind of high-scoring performances needed to keep up with the top teams in the division.

Defensively, the Jamesons have found it difficult to contain the elite offenses in this division. Despite moments from Anthony Brisebois (12 tackles, 1 interception) and Tysen Otis Copeland (12 tackles, 1 interception), they’ve allowed 143 points through four games and only 2 turnovers as a defensive unit.

Their upcoming matchup against Team Quebec U18A presents a prime opportunity to get back on track. They have the talent to pick up a much-needed win.
