Stingers Football

Failing to make the playoffs after finishing 2-6, Stingers football have some bright spots in two strong all-stars. Offensive tackle, Maurice Simba and wide receiver Jarryd Taylor were named all-stars.

Simba, a fourth year Stinger and CFL draft eligible player, was an all-star and second team all-Canadian last season. He was also named to the 2018 East-West Bowl.

Taylor led the RSEQ in total yards with 527 over eight games.

Finally, the women’s soccer team’s Chama Sedki was named to the RSEQ’s second all-star team. Her six points over 14 games were tied for the team lead this season. Sedki was named Stingers game MVP six times this fall and was named to the second all-star team last year.
