Northern to host SWOSSAA football final

The Northern Vikings senior football team will look to feed off their home crowd Wednesday afternoon in their SWOSSAA final against the Windsor Holy Names Knights.

The Vikings are a perfect 8-0 this season after a 23-3 win over Chatham-Kent in the LKSSAA final.

The Knights, ranked as the seventh best team in the country by CanadaFootballChat.com, have lost just once all season. The Windsor team took down 14th ranked Herman 17-6 in the WECSSAA final.

The winner will head to Ottawa to face the Huron Heights Warriors November 27 at 4 p.m. in the OFSAA Northern Bowl.

The Vikings last OFSAA appearance came in 2011, a 24-6 loss to London's A.B Lucas.

Kickoff between the Vikings and Knights is set for 1 p.m. from Northern.
