The PFC completely dominated the BCFC on Saturday in the two CJFL Interconference games, not allowing an offensive score.  As a matter of fact the only scoring the BCFC could muster was a conceded safety.     The BCFC is still in search of their first win over the PFC since the 2009 Canadian Bowl.

In a downpour from the opening kick-off to the final buzzer the Rifles used their ground attack to near perfection gathering 380 yards and scored three touchdowns.  Micheal Ritchott carried 22 times for 225 yards and scored a major while back-up quarterback Jonathan Remple scored twice.

Starter Jamie Ybarra completed just seven passes in the rain, finding Kai Madsen for a touchdown.

Meanwhile the Rifles defence created four turnovers including an interception by Stefan Conway and a fumble recovery from Nathan Dickson.    Hayden Nellis tallied a pair of sacks.

The Huskers didn’t have much luck moving the football collecting 110 yards of total offence.  Their pass game was slowed due to the rain, however quarterback Noah Falconer was 10 of 22 for 102 yards and threw a pick.

The Rifles (2-3) will host the Edmonton Huskies (2-3) in the lone PFC game on Saturday night.  The Huskers will match-up with the Broncos (1-7) in Kamloops, also on Saturday night.

The rematch of the Canadian Bowl didn’t live up to the hype as the Hilltops jumped out to a 14-0 within the first three minutes and never gave the Sun a chance to get back into it. Quarterback Jared Andreychuk picked apart of the defence finishing 9 of 13 for 173 yards and threw four touchdown passes and ran one in himself.  Running back Logan Fischer carried 13 times for 105 yards and scored a touchdown.  He also caught a 27 yard TD pass.  

The Hilltops defence collected a pair of sacks and recovered three fumbles.

Not much to cheer about for the Sun as they were held to 21 net yards in the first half and 193 in the game.  Rashaun Simonise made two receptions for 48 yards.

The Hilltops (5-1) will enjoy a bye week while the Sun (6-2) will travel to Vancouver Island to face the Raiders (3-4-1) on Saturday afternoon.
