Eskimos sophomore Kwaku Boateng looking to prove his CFL doubters wrong
Dan Ralph

Kwaku Boateng is playing with a huge chip on his shoulder this season.
The Edmonton Eskimos defensive lineman has registered a team-best five sacks in his first full campaign as a CFL starter. That’s heady stuff for a second-year player but especially impressive considering Edmonton took Boateng in the fifth round of the 2-17 CFL draft.
That’s also what’s fuelling the former Wilfrid Laurier star. Each time Boateng steps on to the field, he wants to prove to opposing teams they erred in not selecting him.
Laurier suffers second straight defeat in loss to McMaster

HAMILTON, ON – The No. 5 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks were held to four second-half points on Saturday afternoon as they lost 21-20 to the McMaster Marauders at Ron Joyce Stadium.
In a sloppy game that featured nearly 350 combined yards of penalties between the two teams, the Hawks had a chance to take the lead trailing 21-19 with a minute to play. However, Nathan Mesher’s (Waterloo, Ont.) 43-yard field goal attempt was wide left and Laurier wouldn’t get the ball back as they saw their record fall to 2-2.

Golden Hawk alumni & friends of the football program,
The Battle of Waterloo was certainly a four quarter battle and the down-the-street rivals came out victorious 34-32.
We are obviously disappointed about the game and result, but there is no time to sulk. We are learning from the mistakes and quickly moving on to a talented McMaster team, who we play on the road this Saturday in Hamilton at 1pm.

Laurier suffers first Battle of Waterloo defeat in 16 years
WATERLOO, ON – For the first time since 2002, the No. 4 Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks men’s football team suffered a defeat at the hands of their University Ave. rivals as they lost 34-32 to the Waterloo Warriors on Saturday at University Stadium.
In a back-and-forth contest, the Golden Hawks and Warriors put on an offensive display for the 1,736 fans in attendance on a hot and sunny afternoon. Combining for over 1150 yards of offence, the two squads breathed life into a rivalry that was in need of a boost after the Hawks had posted 14 consecutive wins over the black and gold.
Boateng just starting to scratch the surface of potential

He sat at his family’s home in Milton, Ont. watching and waiting.
Kwaku Boateng knew that there were questions around him. Did he want to play football or start a business career? Could he play special teams in the CFL? Were his combine numbers a bad day, or the reflection of an athlete that wouldn’t be able to cut it at the next level?
So the 22-year-old defensive end from Wilfrid Laurier University sat there with his parents, his two brothers, his girlfriend and some close friends and watched the 2017 CFL Draft on TSN. And they waited.

Gordon key to Laurier’s offensive success

Waterloo Region Record
WATERLOO — The spotlight often shines elsewhere, which is perfectly fine with Levondre Gordon.
The Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks running back simply wants to go about his business, stay healthy and do what he can to help his team be successful during the Ontario University Athletics football season and beyond.
If individual recognition and honours should happen to come his way, that’s fine.
If they don’t, that’s also fine.
