The Dakota Lancers have won every Winnipeg High School Football League championship final they've played in.

In fact, they have never lost a game in their team's young history.

On Wednesday night at Canad Inns Stadium, Dakota whacked the Daniel McIntyre Maroons 30-2 to claim the Canad Inns Bowl as Currie Division A champions.

In the junior varsity final, the undefeated Oak Park Raiders defeated the Grant Park Pirates 43-12 to capture the Home Run Sports Bowl and put a cap on the first junior varsity season in the history of the WHSFL.

Running back Bryce Davidson scored three touchdowns for the Lancers (who finish the year at 10-0), including a 71-yard gallop, while David Kargbo scored the other major.

Daniel Mac's points came on a safety touch.

In the JV game, Kedon Sweetney had three touchdowns for the Raiders while Miracle Tamana, Tyson Morrissey and Brady Will each scored one major.

Championship action continues tonight at Canad Inns Stadium.

The 6-1 Kildonan East Reivers and the 7-0 Murdoch MacKay Clansmen will play for the Vidruk Division AA championship and Free Press Bowl in the first game, beginning at 5 p.m.

The Potter Division A, ANAVET Bowl championship final between the St. Paul's Crusaders (7-0) and Oak Park Raiders (6-1), kicks off at 7:30 p.m.
