Cardinals turn chirps into fuel

The Brennan sr. girls basketball team had a plastic gas can and hard hat at the end of their bench Monday during their game against Cardinal Carter. The hard hat is given to the player of the game. The gas can was a curiousity for onlookers. "The can is our Cardinal fuel." said Shay Crooker. "We use it to motivate ourselves to work harder and even though some people, even our school, they tell us we're bad we use it against them and use it as our fuel to do better."

The Cardinals did well with a short bench Monday pulling out a 50-36 win over Cardinal Carter. Crooker scored 13 points as Brennan improved to 2-3 on the season. "It was really good. We worked together as a team. We came back together because we usually crumble and this time we didn't even though we have seven people today."


It's a busy week for the Cardinals who host the (2-2) Academie Ste Cecile Esprit Tuesday before facing the first-place Leamington Lions on the road Thursday. The Esprit handed the Lions their first loss of the season Monday. Leamington is now tied for first with Catholic Central and North Star at 4-1.


The loss was a second straight for Cardinal Carter as the Cougars fell to 2-3 on the season. They'll face Ste. Cecile Thursday. "I think we started a little rough but we did better in the second quarter." said Amelia Tar who is in her final year. "I'm just hoping to get a fun season and to get to know the junior girls a little better before I leave and just form a better bond with my teammates."

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.  

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
