Coed 2 Quarterfinals Recap

“The Real Ones Step Up”
The Divisional Round gave us a taste of the madness. The Quarterfinals? That’s where the real playoff personalities started to emerge. The pressure mounted, the stars showed up—or didn’t—and every mistake came with a price. Four teams punched their ticket to the semifinals, and they did it in very different ways.

🚀 Team Rocket 38 – 26 Tonix
Rocket does Rocket things.
Team Rocket is acting like a 1-seed should—confident, efficient, and completely in sync.
Quarterback Guillaume Beland continued his under-the-radar MVP run, throwing 4 touchdowns on just 19 attempts with zero picks, while also tacking on a rushing score. He didn’t need to force deep balls or play hero—just kept the chains moving and capitalized in the red zone.
His go-to guy? Nassim Ouadhi, who finished with 3 touchdowns on 4 catches and added a convert for good measure. Tonix simply had no answer for his quickness and route precision near the goal line.
On defense, it was a team effort. Marilou Beland and Victoria Grenier led with a combined 7 tackles, while Guillaume Beland added an interception and returned it for a touchdown. When your QB is scoring both ways, you’re in trouble.
Tonix wasn’t flat—they put up a fight. David Michaud threw for 225 yards and 4 TDs, spreading the ball to six different receivers. But the defense just couldn’t come up with stops when they needed them. A respectable effort, but not enough to knock off the top dogs.

🐙 LDN 34 – 19 Michael Scott’s Tots
LDN shuts it down late.
This one was a story of two halves. The Tots came out swinging, scoring 19 first-half points behind David De Andrade’s 3 touchdowns and 174 yards. But in the second half, LDN slammed the door.
Backup Quarterback Roubenz Guillaume orchestrated the comeback with ice in his veins: 16 of 24 for 159 yards and 5 touchdowns, including a strong second half. He spread the wealth, hitting six different receivers and tossing two scores to Kensley Joseph—who also came up big defensively with an interception and 2 pass deflections.
The defense made the real difference. Ketsia Lacroix, Roubenz, and Sanya Longchamp all contributed to a stifling second-half effort that held MST to zero points. Three total INTs and a crucial sack turned the tide, and just like that, the Tots were iced.
LDN moves on, surviving yet another postseason scare—but this time, doing it with authority in crunch time and without star Quarterback Samuel Omombo.

🐸 Crazy Frogs 46 – 24 Venom
This wasn’t close.
This was supposed to be a clash of two red-hot offenses. But only one of them showed up.
Venom turned in their worst performance at the worst possible time, largely due to an erratic outing from Paul Lapierre, who finished with 4 touchdowns… but also 6 interceptions. That’s not a typo. Six. And most of them came in key situations that swung momentum early.
Meanwhile, Crazy Frogs did what they’ve been doing for weeks—score early, score often, and suffocate on defense.
Édouard Leroux was nearly perfect, tossing 7 touchdowns to 5 different players while completing 15 of 27 throws. He even added 27 yards rushing to keep the defense guessing. Mathilde Sybille was a problem, hauling in 3 touchdowns and racking up 62 yards. Charles Verreault added 3 INTs on defense and caught a touchdown as well—pure chaos in every direction.
Venom tried to claw back in the second half with scores from Jason Vixamar and Daniel Lomboto, but the Frogs’ lead was too wide, and the turnover margin too ugly to overcome.
Statement win. Crazy Frogs are here.

🏹 Redzone 48 – 26 Kamikaze
High octane, no brakes.
Fresh off a first-round forfeit win, Redzone came out with fire—and it was clear early they hadn’t lost any rhythm.
Marc-André Reeves dropped 6 touchdown passes and 179 yards without a single interception. It wasn’t a one-man show though—Redzone showed crazy depth, with six different players scoring, including big-play grabs by Victor Boutin (2 TDs) and Emile Descoteaux (63 yards, 1 TD, 1 convert).
Kamikaze came out scrappy with a two-QB setup: Maxime Giroux (125 yards, 3 TDs) and Gabriel Lemonde (a bonus TD and an INT). But Redzone’s pressure forced mistakes, and their defensive unit kept answering every Kamikaze score with one of their own.
Oh, and Didier Brisebois? Two picks, one returned for a touchdown. Enough said.
Redzone looked locked in and dangerous. Anyone who thought their momentum might stall after a bye (forfeit win) was clearly mistaken.
