Lyric Squad won its third straight Mississauga Indoor Football Association adult league title last month.
The Mississauga Indoor Football Association’s Friday Night Lights adult league concluded last month with Lyric Squad defeating the Hamilton Steel City Patriots 31-6 in the championship game at the Hershey Centre.
Both teams are made up mostly of players who play in the Northern Football Conference semi-pro league through the summer.
The Patriots have a team in that league while Lyric Squad plays under the Oakville Longhorns banner over the summer.
Lyric Squad captured its third straight MIFA title after going 9-1 through the regular season. Their only loss came against the Patriots, and ironically, the Longhorns were the last team to beat the Patriots in NFC play.
Lyric Squad’s Ezekiel Bartlett-Springer was named Friday Night Lights league MVP and teammates Winston Blake (league defensive MVP), Kevin Nguyen (championship game offensive MVP) and Brendan Assante (championship game defensive MVP) also picked up awards.
