The Sun win home field advantage throughout

In a potential BCFC Championship preview, the Okanagan Sun defeated the Langley Rams 37-20 on Sunday afternoon and won their seventh straight in the process.

As it has been all season long, the Sun defense and special teams was the difference.  The defense held the Rams running attack to just 75 yards and caused 10 turnovers.

Linebacker Ron Mwamba was a man on mission intercepting a pass, recovered a fumble, led the club with six solo tackles and knocked a pass down.  Easily his best game in a Sun uniform.  Matt McConnell, Nick Schroeder and Layne Hull also recovered fumbles.

Wes Geisler intercepted a pass, as did Robbie Yochim, his fourth of the season.  Dexter Janke and Jeff Mock clipped in with three tackles each.

The “D” also created three turnovers on downs.

Yochim, who set a Canadian Junior Football League record last week with three punt returns for touchdowns, was at it again.  Sunday afternoon the fifth year veteran returned two kick-offs for touchdowns, of 105 yards and 95 yards.

Thomas Huber was a perfect 2-2 in field goals, hitting from 11 and 32 yards out.

Offensively the Sun running attack was simply awesome. Alex Bradley rushed 20 times for 154 yards and scored on a 50 yard dash.  The BCFC’s leading rusher Dillon Fortune carried six times for 38 yards.  Kasey Russell scored his seventh major of the season on a one yard plunge.

In all, the run game collected 207 yards, while the passing attack gathered 112 yards with Josiah Joseph finishing 4 of 10, but threw two interceptions.  Jesse Kendall and Kyle Patchell each made a critical catch of 45+ yards.

The Rams jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, before the Sun responded with 17 straight points.  Just before the half the Rams tied it at 17.

In the third quarter the Sun collected 16 points and never looked back.

With the victory, the Sun (8-1) will have home field advantage throughout the playoffs.  However the prior to the post season the Sun will conclude the regular season on Sunday when they host the Kamloops Broncos (6-3) at 1:00pm.  The Sun have never lost to the Broncos.
