The Gridders would defeat the visiting Cardinals 35-6 in a dominating performance on both defence and offence, noted coach Mark Schendel.
Hunter Keller had a monster game on both sides of the ball. He played the first half on defence where he tallied many solo tackles and also had two interceptions that he returned for scores.
Keller’s amazing game would continue as in the second half he engineered the offence. He would score two more TD’s.
Max Schendel and Reece Halliday also had touchdowns for the Gridders.
The win on Sunday improves their regular season record to 2-2 heading into September.
“We had a great week of practice. It was nice to rebound from the loss to the first place Regina Thunderbirds last week,” said coach Schendel.
“Prior to the game, we challenged the kids to defend our home field. Make plays on offence and wreck plays on defence. The Cardinals went two and out on their first drive and our O marched the length of the field for the first score of the game. We grabbed the momentum immediately and never relinquished it.”
The young Gridders return to practice on Tuesday.
