All-Time High School Football Championship Rankings

The Sir Wilfrid Laurier Lancers' NCSSAA AAA/AAA championship victory earlier today, 24-14 over the St. Peter program which had won five straight such championships, motivated me to restore the High School Championship grid.

I'm still proof-reading, but I think I've got it.  The year in parentheses is a reference to the last season in which that team won a championship and is used as a tie-breaker.
Glebe               17 (1991)
St. Peter           10 (2012)
St. Pius             8 (1994)
Laurentian           8 (1992)
Ottawa Tech          7 (1957)
St. Patrick          7 (1956)
Fisher Park          5 (1977)
St. Mark             3 (2007)
Ashbury College      3 (2002)
Sir Robert Borden    3 (1989)
J.S. Woodsworth      2 (1982)
Ridgemont            2 (1963)
U. of Ottawa         2 (1931)
Sir Wilfrid Laurier  1 (2013)
Gloucester           1 (1996)
St. Matthew          1 (1995)
Cairine Wilson       1 (1988)
Confederation        1 (1986)
Philemon Wright      1 (1984)
Brookfield           1 (1980)
Colonel By           1 (1979)
Rideau               1 (1971)
Nepean               1 (1966)
I continue to find ironic that Glebe holds such a position in local football in light of the neighborhood's opposition to a (primarily) sports stadium in that area (regardless of their claims to the opposite).  Mind you, most of those championships were achieved in the 30's and 40's, but still.  It's still odd to see a Glebe mention to anything remotely football-related.  I plan to restore the chronological list of champions soon.

Hopefully local media will feature detailed recaps of today's two championship games.  In the Tier Two contest, Mother Teresa defeated St. Joseph 14-07.  Both games were played at Carleton.
