The CJFL in conjunction with the BC Conference is pleased to announce the Week 1 Football Canada Players of the Week
Offensive Player of the Week
QB Ethan Pickard – Westshore Rebels
The Rebels needed a big game offensively to show the rest of the Conference they are fully prepared to defend their Cullen Cup title and they got it. Quarterback Ethan Pickard was outstanding as the new starter completing 16 passes for 358 yards and he threw five touchdowns. Perhaps most importantly he ran a very balanced passing attack finding eight different receivers with five of them hauling in a touchdown strike.
Defensive Player of the Week
LB Jacob Bond – Okanagan Sun
With the game winding down the Okanagan Sun defence needed to stand tall, and linebacker Jacob Bond made sure they did securing their first win of the season. He was an important piece of the Sun defence all night long making five solo tackles, assisting on another and recovered a fumble. He is the emotional leader of that Sun defence and he seemingly willed his team to a victory.
Special Teams Player of the Week
PK Brady Harper – Prince George Kodiaks
For the first time in their franchise history the Kodiaks have a winning record and kicker Brady Harper’s foot is all over the scoresheet. He booted two field goals and three converts to account for nine of the Kodiaks 39 points scored on Saturday. After each score Harper would also manage the kick-offs and averaged 32.6 net yards with each one.
