WEYBURN - The Weyburn U12 Ravens and U14 Falcons both hosted games on Friday at the Weyburn Minor Football Field, with the Ravens hosting the Moose Jaw Spartans, and Moose Jaw won 34-6.
Quarterback Landon Leroux had 195 yards rushing and a touchdown, averaging 200 yards per game. Landon plays a vital leadership role on the team and once again impressed in this position.
Remiel Groisman took home offensive game ball honours for his big time effort on offensive line. He's worked hard this season to improve his craft and it shows with his on field successes.
Captain Rhys Fowler, the Ravens’ defensive leader, once again shone bright under the Friday night lights, recording 13 solo tackles, bringing his total to 28 solo tackles on the season and a handful of helpers.
Defensive game ball honours went to newcomer Kaisen Jackson who, when given the opportunity, went out and recovered a fumble and recorded one tackle on a short night's work.
“Overall as a team, we saw an excellent improvement in this past week in positional awareness, tackling, blocking and we did a good job with ball security. The team played clean and respectful football, and I as a coach am excited to get back to the field to see what kind of force this team can become,” said the coach in a post to WMF’s Facebook page.
The U14 Weyburn Falcons recorded a win by a score of 14-7, as they played their home opener Friday night under the lights against the Moose Jaw Mafia and did not disappoint.
The fans were treated to a full four quarters of fast moving, heavy-hitting football.
Once the defence got in their groove, they were an impenetrable force, holding the Mafia to a single touchdown scored early on.
The offence dominated on the field by getting numerous first downs, beautiful passes and two touchdowns.
Game balls went to Sawyer Vennard on offence, who took a beating but never slowed down a step, and Zion Siwale on defence who snagged an interception, seven tackles and assisted another three.
Meantime, the U10 Apex Cardinals travelled to Moose Jaw on Sunday, for their first jamboree of the season.
