Rams and Rebels Clash

Westshore Rebels @ Langley Rams – Saturday October 12, 3:30pm – McLeod Stadium | WATCH HERE

The BC Conference will open the Canadian Bowl playoffs on Saturday afternoon when the second seeded Rams welcome the third seeded, and defending Cullen Cup champion Rebels. 

They met twice during the regular season including last weekend in Langley.  The Rams won both games and outscored the Rebels 47-23.  

This game is very intriguing because the Rebels can score points in a hurry with a potent passing attack and the Rams defence doesn’t give up much, which was on display last week intercepting the Rebels five times.  It remains to be seen which team will benefit most from seeing their opponent last week, but it definitely doesn’t hurt. The biggest question for both clubs could be health and specifically at the quarterback position.   Ethan Pickard of the Rebels has been banged up during the tail end of the regular season and the Rams started back up Hunter Norman last week.  It is assumed starter Palaina Hooper was injured an unavailable against the Rebels. 

Another noticeable subtraction from the Rams lineup last week was running back Bruce Jones. His backfield partner in crime Reggie Elie picked up the slack with 127 rushing yards but hard to replace Jones who rushed for 830 yards in the regular season.

The Rebels will try and get the ball into the hands of receiver Zion Brown as much as possible as one of their most dangerous playmakers.  He’s one of the best in the Conference and gathered 135 yards last week against this stingy Rams defence. 

These two teams met last year in this very semi-final, but the game was in Westshore and the Rebels were victorious with a 40-14 win. 

The winner of this game will meet either the Okanagan Sun or Valley Huskers in the BC Conference Cullen Cup title game next weekend.
