A pair of games in BC during the Labour Day long weekend with the Rebels and Huskers winning.

Westshore Rebels 28
Langley Rams 21

In a very entertaining game, the Rebels remain perfect after scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter beating the Rams by a touchdown.

Quarterback Te Jessie found his grove in the fourth quarter finishing the game 20 of 32 for 292 yards and connected with Kieran Poissant for a touchdown.  He also ran for a major, but characteristically threw three interceptions.  Speaking of Poissant, he made 10 receptions for 181 yards including an 88 yarder.
The Rebels did find success on the ground as Gerren Hardisty led the way with two touchdowns on 19 carries and 100 yards. 

On the defensive side, the Rebels kept the Rams to under 100 yards on the ground as Demar Hohnstein had another outstanding game with nine tackles and forced a fumble. 

The Rams had a seven-point lead heading into the final quarter but didn’t have enough in the tank to hold down the Rebels high flying offence.   Their defence forced five turnovers including those three inceptions, two made by Kyle Huish.  Owen Merry had the other. 

Offensively quarterback Trey Jones completed 15 passes for 218 yards and hit Broxx Comia for a touchdown.  He caught five passes for 113 yards.   Jones used his legs in the ballgame and punched it into the endzone from a yard out and Kairo Hassan also scored a touchdown on the ground. 

Next week the Rebels (5-0) will host the Valley Huskers (4-1) in their only meeting of the season. Meanwhile the Rams (2-2) will welcome the Prince George Kodiaks (2-2).

Valley Huskers 29
Kamloops Broncos 0

The Huskers defence played an outstanding game, shutting out the Broncos forcing three turnovers and holding them to only 19 yards on the ground and 113 overall.  Sawyer Tether picked off a pass and Raiden Mastin jumped on a fumble. 

Quarterback Tyran Duval spread the ball around to nine different receivers and completed 19 passes for 305 yards and hit Brandon Halsey for a short touchdown pass.   Running back Reece Wyke had a great game, galloping 18 times for 119 yards and had a touchdown.  TJ Robertson also scored on the ground. 

Next weekend the Huskers (4-1) will head to the Island to try and slow down the Westshore Rebels (5-0) and the Broncos (0-5) will enjoy a bye week.
