Nelson High School has won more games than any other Burlington high school this fall, going 15-4 in 19 games since the school year began Sept. 1, among Burlington schools' reported results.
That record covers six teams: junior and senior boys football, junior and senior girls basketball, and junior and senior girls field hockey.
Nelson's junior girls basketball team won the Tier 1 title, the top division, beating Iroquois Ridge 46-27 at Alton Community Centre.
Two other Tier 1 finals went the other way. The senior girls basketball team lost 77-34 to King's Christian Collegiate, also at Alton, and the senior girls field hockey team fell 1-0 to Abbey Park at Sixteen Mile Sports Complex.
Corpus Christi Catholic Secondary School is 12-11, and Assumption Catholic Secondary School is 9-16.

| Assumption | 9 | 16 | 25 |
Nelson's junior football team, the Junior Lords, beat Iroquois Ridge 43-0 in their semi-final to earn a return trip to the Halton championship. They are trying to win back the title they lost last season, a defeat that ended a bid for 10 straight, according to the Nelson Lords football site.
The senior Lords locked up first place in the regular season with a 41-7 win at Hayden in Week 5, then shut out Georgetown 45-0 in the semi-final of the HSSAA, Halton's high school sports association. They have already qualified for the Golden Horseshoe Athletic Conference (GHAC) playoffs, the regional level beyond Halton, and play there Wednesday, Nov. 18.
