On Trinity's next play from scrimmage, Rourke avoided a sack before connecting with Matt Creelman for a 62-yard reception. Two plays later, he hit Tevin Doyley in the end zone for a four-yard TD. "It's electric to be part of something like this," said Uleryk-Carvalho, who ran through a huge hole in the middle of the field for a 20yard TD in the third quarter. "To have a quarterback like that, it's fun be part of that, no doubt." Will Ellis capped the scoring, becoming the sixth Titan to find the end zone when he pulled in a three-yard pass from Rourke. Ellis also had an interception for a defence that was often overshadowed by the high-powered offence. But the Trinity D, which surrendered only 12 points per game, allowed St. Peter just three first downs in the opening half. "I thought our defence could stop pretty much any team," said lineman Reggie Hyacinthe. "We had a bend but don't break kind of defence," said Moscato. "I'm proud of our defence." Buoyed by some convincing wins over traditional Halton powers early in the season, the Titans began to believe that maybe their time had come. "We brought a new level of intensity this year," said linebacker Denver Kotack, who returned for a fifth year in hopes of helping the Titans finally break through. In the end, though, the players held the same belief as Moscato. "We're all like family," Rourke said. "I'm proud of what this team has done this year." -- Herb Garbutt can be followed on Twitter @Herbgarbutt $ · 95.5% High Efficiency Gas Furnace CUSTOmERS · High Efficiency Central Air R410A Refrigerant · 10 Year Factory Warranty FURANCE DIAGNOSTIC SERvICE · Limited Time Offer $ · Call for details ONLY reg. $99 PACKAGE INCLUDES: INSTALLED OR 3990 ONLY $ * Gas Furnace 95% EFF.
