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.

From Rugby in South Africa to the Laurier defensive line
Among this year’s inductees into the Collingwood Collegiate Institute (CCI) Black and Gold Society is Reinhardt Keller, a football defenseman and hall of famer.
The Black and Gold Society started in 1998 as a way to recognize graduates who had exceptional high school athletic careers and went on to achieve great things in sports after high school. The society also honours those who have worked to pioneer and build CCI athletics in their careers as athletes, coaches and teachers at CCI.
