Crusaders Win Pepsi Bowl |
In arguably the most entertaining high school football game in BC this year, the #1 ranked Holy Cross Crusaders proved they were deserving of the ranking as they defeated the #2 ranked St Thomas More Knights 40-34 in a nail-biter at Crusader Stadium on Saturday afternoon. It was a classic!
Heading into the 3rd quarter, and down by 14 points, the Crusaders took advantage of 3 Knight's miscues and converted all three into touchdowns.
Both teams played a fantastic game and the damp crowd was hugely entertained. It was a wonderful showcase of high school sport with great sportsmanship being shown by both teams and the game was revenge of a kind for Holy Cross as they avenged their loss to STMC in the JV Provincial Championship two years ago when the majority of players for both teams played in that game.
If it comes to pass that both teams meet again in the AAA Championship it will be a game not to miss.....although what they can do to top the Pepsi Bowl, we just don't know!
Congratulations to both teams......you played a heck of a game!

Two
weeks ago the BC athletic fraternity lost a great father, coach, friend,
colleague and teacher with the untimely passing of Kevin Chin at the age of
51.
Kevin was a long-time teacher Centennial Secondary where he coached football for several years before devoting himself to his two sons' football teams ......Casey at New Westminster Secondary and Jordan in the Coquitlam Minor Football Association.
For the past 21 years Kevin was involved in the Western Canadian All Star Football Camp at SFU serving as the Head Coach for the past few years. During his tenure at the Western Canadian Camp the phrase "Win With Chin" was coined by the campers. Kevin WAS a winner in all phases of his life....high school, university, his career as a teacher and coach and of course in his family life.
We will miss Kevin's infectious personality and his unselfish attitude to life.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.

Parker Dominates Sprints |
The 2007 BC High School Track & Field Championships took place at Swangard Stadium on Friday and Saturday and St Thomas More grade 11 sprinter Keynan Parker simply blew away the competition in the individual men's 100m and 200m.
In the 100m final, Keynan blazed to a Gold Medal in a time of 10.78secs (which is just 0.32 seconds off the record which was set in 1990 by former STMC sprinter Peter Ogilvie). No-one else in the field managed to break the 11 sec barrier (his closest competitor finished in 11.29 secs). Keynan followed up his 100m victory with a convincing win in the 200m finishing at 21.90....his next closest competitor?...22.60.
Not satisfied with his personal performances, Keynan anchored the STMC 4x100m relay team to a Gold Medal performance winning in 43.08 secs. Then he followed THAT up by helping the STMC 4 x 400 relay team to a Silver Medal. Not a bad day....3 Golds and 1 Silver! Way to go Keynan!

2007 Senior Bowl: |
The annual Senior Bowl football camp took place last week under torrential rain storms at the BC Lions Training Facility in Surrey and it provided an opportunity for the players to try out the new FieldTurf. By all accounts the FieldTurf proved to be a huge success.
The annual Senior Bowl All Star game, however, was a different story. The game was played for the first time at SFU's Terry Fox Field and the elements played havoc all day. Along with the rain, the players and spectators had to contend with low clouds and terrible visibility....at times the players couldn't even see from one side of the field to the other and the spectators had difficulty even seeing the field.
Even though the conditions for the game were less than ideal, the players had a great opportunity to showcase their talents during the week and several NSAAC athletes turned in outstanding performances and were recognized by the coaches:
Most Valuable Defensive Back: Perry Harder (Langley Stampeders)
Most Improved Defensive Back: Alex Babalos (Seaquam Seahawks)
Most Improved Running Back: Robbie Campbell (Seaquam Seahawks)
Congratulations to all!

SFU Football Hires Dave Johnson |
The SFU Clansmen football team took a huge step towards returning the Clan to respectability with the hiring of Dave Johnson as their new football coach. No stranger to BC and the CIS, Dave coached and played high school, junior and college football in BC prior to joining the UBC Thunderbirds as their Defensive Coordinator in 1997 and he played a huge part in helping the T-Birds win the Vanier Cup that same year.
When then UBC head coach Casey Smith was diagnosed with cancer in 1998, Dave took over the reins as head coach. Dave left the Thunderbirds in 2000 and, following a one-year sabbatical, he joined the Calgary Dinosaurs as the Defensive Coordinator where he stayed for two seasons. Since 2003 Dave has been living and operating a very successful business in Phoenix, Arizona and has acted as an assistant coach at the high school level.
Dave has a huge passion for coaching college football, and when the SFU head coaching position became available, he jumped at the chance to return to BC.
He has taken another very positive step by hiring Shawn Olson as one of his full time assistant coaches. Shawn was a very successful quarterback at Holy Cross HS in Surrey and had a great 4-year career with the Surrey Rams before joining the UBC Thunderbirds and leading them to the Vanier Cup victory in 1997. After graduating from UBC, Shawn joined Coach Johnson with the Calgary Dinosaurs where he coached for two years. Shawn, though, wasn't done playing football. For the past few years he has been playing and coaching (Offensive Coordinator) in the European Football League with the Vienna Vikings where he has been instrumental in that team winning 6 consecutive titles.
We are delighted to welcome Dave and Shawn back to BC and wish them and their staff the very best of luck.
