Coed 2 Playoffs: Divisional Round Recap

The regular season ended in chaos: Hiboux, La Guerre des Tuques, and Shark Attack all tied at 7–3, with Anything right behind at 6–4. Four completely different teams, four very different styles, but all earning the coveted bye to the quarterfinals.

Behind them was the wild middle tier — five teams sitting at 5–5 (Back That Pass Up, Kamikaze, Double Dip, Purple Blood, Les Flagouilleurs), each capable of knocking off a top team but inconsistent enough to land in the Divisional Round. Add in the unpredictable Zoomies at 4–6, the swagger-heavy Block Party at 3–7, and Party Mix limping in at 1–9, and the playoff bracket looked like a pressure cooker waiting to explode.

Purple Blood 34 – 31 Les Flagouilleurs

A Season-Long Rivalry Comes Full Circle

Sometimes playoff matchups feel random. This one felt destined. Back on June 8th, Purple Blood and Les Flagouilleurs gave us a wild regular-season shootouts — a 41–39 Flagouilleurs win where both quarterbacks lit up the scoreboard.

Fast forward to August, and the script was very similar — but this time, Purple Blood flipped the ending.

Sanders Armand did what he always does: He threw for 168 yards and 3 TDs, ran for another score, and once again found Emma Townsend-Asselin in every big moment (7 catches, 71 yards, TD). But Emma wasn’t just an offensive weapon — her pick-six in the second half swung the game, the exact defensive spark Purple Blood didn’t have in June. Add in Felix Clairmont’s two touchdowns, and Purple Blood had just enough balance to survive.

Flagouilleurs looked like the same team from the first meeting. Neil Loisel went off again, piling up 285 total yards and 5 TDs, three of them to his deep-ball machine Nassim Ouadhi (113 yards, 3 TDs). He even added 127 rushing yards and 2 scores on the ground. It was the same devastating 1–2 punch that burned Purple Blood in June. The difference? This time, Purple Blood stole a possession with Emma’s pick-six, and that swung the final score.

Two games, 144 combined points, decided by a total of five points. Purple Blood and Flagouilleurs might not have been top seeds, but together they’ve produced two of the most memorable battles of the Coed 2 season.

Result: Purple Blood advances, avenging their regular-season loss and proving just how razor-thin the margins are in this division.

Back That Pass Up 30 – 0 Party Mix

Consistency Meets Collapse

No one expected fireworks here — and none arrived. Party Mix, the division’s paradox (division-leading passing yards but a historically porous defense), didn’t show up for their playoff date. The result: a 30–0 forfeit.

It’s an unceremonious end for a team that could score with anyone but simply couldn’t stop anyone. Their defensive stats told the story all season — 41.4 points allowed per game, zero sacks, just 4 interceptions. In the playoffs, you don’t survive with one hand tied behind your back.

For Back That Pass Up, the win was as straightforward as it gets. Their strength all season has been balance — steady QB play from Jason Rossie, reliable targets in Justin Gauthier and Chris Brockwell, and great tackler Justin Anania anchoring the defense. Advancing without taking the field might not make for highlight tape, but it makes for fresher legs and one less war on the way to the quarters.

The Zoomies 39 – 36 Double Dip

From Regular Season Statement to Short-Handed Win

Back on June 8th, The Zoomies beat Double Dip 27–19, a victory that felt like a turning point in their season. Gabriel-Charles Dabe Champagne spread the ball around — though most of it went to his favorite target, Emile Chateauvert, who erupted for 101 yards and 2 TDs. Double Dip had their chances, but Xavier Parent’s 2 interceptions proved costly in what was otherwise a balanced fight.

Fast forward two months, and the stage was bigger, the stakes higher, and the circumstances even tougher. The Zoomies entered the Divisional Round against Double Dip playing with just five players — one short of six. On paper, it should have been their downfall. Instead, it became their rallying.

Champagne delivered throwing 176 yards and 4 TDs while running the offense with surgical efficiency. Chateauvert once again proved unstoppable, posting 10 catches 147 yards and 5 touchdowns in one of the most dominant receiving performances of the season. And while Double Dip’s Xavier Parent matched with 255 yards and 6 TDs of his own, the difference was in the margins: one turnover, one extra possession, clutch conversions.

The Zoomies didn’t just survive being down a player — they thrived in it. Every snap demanded perfect execution, every route was life-or-death, and every defensive stand had to cover an extra man. Somehow, they pulled it off, edging Double Dip in a 39–36 win.

From a full-squad statement win in June to a short-handed win in August, The Zoomies proved they weren’t just about speed and flash — they were about grit, heart, and defying the odds.

Block Party 31 – 18 Kamikaze

The Cinderella Statement

Block Party entered the playoffs at 3–7, more personality than production, a team we described as “a 3–7 squad with swagger.” Against Kamikaze, they became something else: giant killers.

Yvan Salomon put on a clinic. He went 13-for-20 for 143 yards and 4 touchdowns, added 89 rushing yards and another score, and even picked off a pass on defense. His dual-threat dominance defined the game. He spread the ball to Max-Édouard Dadaille (71 yards, 2 TDs), Samora Sacko (32 yards, TD), and Reginald Prophete (12 yards, TD) in a balanced, efficient attack.

Kamikaze, meanwhile, couldn’t overcome mistakes. Gabriel Lemonde threw for 194 yards and 3 touchdowns, but also tossed 2 costly interceptions. He leaned on Maxime Verna-Gagné (69 yards, TD) and Jean-Sébastien St-Arneault (44 yards, TD), but every score felt like a grind compared to Block Party’s quick strikes.

In a division defined by razor-thin margins, Block Party flipped their 3–7 record into irrelevance with a complete performance. What had been quirks in the regular season — Salomon’s all-around brilliance. The message was clear: records don’t matter in August. Matchups do. And Block Party, improbably, is still alive.

The Takeaway

  • Purple Blood survived the duel of contradictions with Les Flagouilleurs.
  • Back That Pass Up advanced without breaking a sweat.
  • The Zoomies upset with only five players.
  • Block Party shocked everyone by outplaying Kamikaze.

The Big 4 were waiting on byes — Shark Attack, Hiboux, La Guerre des Tuques, and Anything — each with their own style. Now they’ll meet challengers who’ve already been through the fire: the balanced, the unpredictable, the explosive, and the improbable.
