Homecoming Primer: Players to watch
Marshall Ferguson
Ferguson has been great with the football for the majority of the season, doing a solid job at finding his receivers in the endzone and steering the ship for the Marauders team. In his first year as a starter, he has managed to show that he can throw the football just as good as Quinlan did for the past two years. Earlier in the season, Assistant Coach Behie said “he knows our O better than anyone and is ready to jump into the role.” He has jumped into the role famously, and is ranked third in the OUA for completed passes.
Danny Vandervoort
Vandervoort has been an outstanding addition to the Marauders team, and is ranked 6th in the OUA for receiving. He is always in the right spot to catch the ball and he is always counted on to score a touchdown in high-pressure situations like that of Guelph on Sept. 21. Linebackers coach Frank Gesztesi said “he is a big target and can win most jump balls, he is a talented young man and will make a name for himself in this league.” This is exactly what the rookie has done, being recognized weeks ago as the Offensive player of the week, and the Big Mac player of the game
When Jimmy Hill got injured, Kasean Davis had to step in and fill the role, and he has been great so far at doing just that. He is ranked 21st overall in the league for rushing, and he is one of the fastest guys on the field. He is aggressive, determined, and reliable, and has stepped into his starting role with lots of energy and great performances
Cook has been dynamite for the Warriors, and is ranked 10th in the league overall for completed passes. The second year Collingwood native has often taken matters into his own hands in numerous games, passing and rushing to score some touchdowns of his own.
The fourth year Guelph native for the Warriors takes on the role of a leader and an experienced veteran for the team. Anapolsky is one of the oldest players on the young Warriors squad, and his knowledge of the game shows in games where he will make numerous receptions and move quickly down the field to score points for the black and yellow. He is currently ranked 10th in the OUA for receiving.
Waterloo’s third-year homegrown talent has done well for his team, managing to score major some major ground, which has ranked him 17th in the league overall for rushing. He leads his team in touchdowns, with three, and is second overall in scoring with 18 points.
The second-year guard Ancaster native is a potent defensive force. He is ranked eighth overall in the OUA for tackles, and is has the perfect combination of speed, size, and aggression. He will be a major obstacle for the Marauders.
