Bringing together players from across the league, the matchup showcased the talent, teamwork and competitive spirit that helped make the fall season memorable.
With the season coming to a close, the All-Star Game gave players one final opportunity to take the field, this time alongside familiar faces and competitors from throughout the league.
Team Blue holds off Red in close All-Star matchup
It was a rough night to be on a red team. Team Jams Blue and Team Richard Blue won the first SportsKlub Orillia Flag Football games of the night, before all attention turned to the All-Star showcase.
The Blue All-Star team braved the speratic downpours of November rain, and came away with the four-point victory on the final drive behind a strong performance from Mitchell Hurtubise, who completed seven of 11 passes for 125 yards and three touchdowns.
Ethan Barber was another standout for Blue, recording 83 receiving yards and a touchdown while making a major impact defensively with three interceptions and a pass breakup.
Jacob Hammill added 40 receiving yards and a touchdown, while Oswell James contributed 30 receiving yards and another score. Team Blue's defence played an important role in securing the victory, with Colby Shaw recording a sack and Matt Bolduc contributing two flag pulls and a pass breakup.
Team Red put together a strong effort of its own, with Kayden Halloch and Paul LaForet each scoring a rushing touchdown. Halloch finished with 37 passing yards and 20 rushing yards, while LaForet added 40 passing yards and 23 rushing yards.
Bailey Yeoman led Red's receiving attack with 40 yards and a two-point conversion, while Jackson Denne contributed two flag pulls and a pass breakup defensively.
Despite Team Red's efforts, Blue's passing attack and defensive contributions helped secure the 18–14 victory.
The All-Star Game MVP!
Mitchell Hurtubise delivered an impressive performance for Team Blue, completing seven of 11 passes for 125 yards and three touchdowns to help lead his team to an 18–14 victory. However, it was Ethan Barber's contributions on both sides of the football that earned him the night's MVP honours.
Barber recorded 83 receiving yards and a touchdown offensively while making a major impact on defence with three interceptions and a pass breakup, helping Team Blue secure the All-Star Game victory.
