For a second straight season, the Dakota Lancers JV12 football team are league champions.

The Lancers faced the Oak Park Raiders at Princess Auto Stadium on Wednesday.

It was a back-and-forth affair with Dakota coming back and winning 39-33 to capture their second championship in as many years.

There was also a JV9 semi-final on Wednesday – a place in the final on the line.

Brandon’s Vincent Massey Vikings beat the Steinbach Sabers 29-21, while the Miles Mac Buckeyes beat the Grant Park Pirates 26-9.

The JV9 final will take place on November 7.

The rest of the playoff picture will look clearer since there are six games on the schedule Thursday.
