The Kiwanis Club of Orillia did the unthinkable on Tuesday night, defeating first-placed Brechin BMR Pro to win their first game of the season.
Now, they have their sights set on winning the U11 Brechin Mara Legion Turkey Bowl next Tuesday when they take on the star-studden Peggy's Chip Truck squad, led by Grayson McPeak.
All while the Brechin Lions Club and Cordery Electric are set to meet on the U14 side of the bracket.

The Lions Club found the end zone seven times in a 52-6 victory over Byers Equipment in the 12-14 division.
Beau Cameron was at the centre of the scoring, turning four receptions into 225 yards and three touchdowns. He averaged more than 56 yards per catch and also added five flag pulls and an interception on defence.

Cordery Electric spreads the scoring around
Cordery Electric received contributions from all over the field in its 32-12 victory over

Matthew Hancock and Naya McPeake each added interceptions for Grand Harbour.
One week left to go!
From McPeake's 273-yard rushing performance to Ware's four-touchdown night and Cameron's three scores through the air, there was no shortage of individual highlights across the two divisions.
But another night at the Ramara Centre was about more than the numbers. Players across all eight teams had opportunities to carry the football, make catches, play defence and contribute alongside their teammates.
The scores and stats give everyone something to play for, but Tuesday nights continue to be about getting together, playing football and creating the moments and friendships that make SportsKlub the weekly hangout that happens to play sports.
