THUNDER BAY – Mitchell Papineau is a rarity – a high school junior football quarterback with a big arm and pinpoint accuracy.Papineau, whose Westgate Tigers found themselves down 30-8 at the half against the Hammarskjold Vikings, powered his team to a remarkable 52-37 comeback win, firing three touchdowns through the air in the third and fourth.
“I guess I just trusted my receivers and threw it. They were getting open on a lot of routes. I just trusted my gut and threw it,” Papineau said. Their first score came in the first, on a 12-yard run by Ewan Reid. Liam Lucas added a three-yard score before Papineau started the comeback in earnest, connecting with McVety for a 25-yard touchdown with 56 seconds to go in the second.
Another three-and-out gave the Tigers the ball back at their own 31 and Papineau needed just four plays to march his team down the field for another touchdown to tie the game 30-30, Griffin Hlady hauling in ball from 12 yards out.
