The Yorkton Peewee Gridders proved to be the worst kind of hosts Sunday afternoon at Yorkton鈥檚 Century Field, dismantling the visiting Regina Rams 56-0 to improve to 5-0 for the 2015 Regina Minor Football Peewee Division season.
The Peewee Gridders remain tied atop the RMF Peewee standings with both the Balgonie North Griffins (5-0)and Regina Riders (5-0), two points up on the fourth place Mustangs (4-1).
The Razorbacks (3-1) and Thunder (3-2) sit in fifth and six with six points each, while the Patriots (2-2) and Vikings (2-3) round out the top eight with four points each.
Ninth and tenth are held down by the Argos (1-4) and Balgonie 麻豆传媒AV Griffins (1-4), while three teams, the Huskies (0-4), Golden Hawks (0-5) and Rams (0-5) all remain winless in 2015.
Yorkton opened the game scoring on back-to-back-to-back possessions to quickly knock the idea of an upset win out of the Rams鈥� heads. 鈥淲e came out strong right out of the gates,鈥� mentioned Peewee Gridder head coach Grant Edgar. 鈥淲e scored on our first three plays which is always a good way to start a game and pretty much rolled from there.鈥�
Two players that really helped the Peewees roll to their huge 56-0 victory were Josh Haczkewicz and Carter Pawliw. 鈥淭he offence was really spread out for us, but Josh Haczkewicz probably led us offensively today,鈥� said Edgar, continuing, 鈥渁nd Carter Pawliw - a little slotback for us - also had a good game scoring two touchdowns. Those two guys were really strong today.鈥�
However Pawliw and Haczkewicz weren鈥檛 the only players from the offensive side of the ball that had strong games. According to Edgar the entire peewee offensive line has been outstanding, not just in the most recent game, but over the entire season so far. 鈥淥ur offensive line has been absolutely fantastic this season. In five games we haven鈥檛 given up one sack yet,鈥� boasted a proud Peewee head coach. 鈥淥ur offensive line has been creating huge holes for our backs to run thru and when we鈥檙e passing they are giving our quarterbacks ample protection and they are a big reason we鈥檙e 5-0 right now.鈥�
Next up
The next action for the Yorkton Peewee Gridders (5-0) will be this Sunday, September 20, when they travel to Regina to take on the Razorbacks (3-1). 鈥淲e鈥檙e riding a little shutout streak here and hopefully we can continue that next week against the Razorbacks,鈥� offered head coach Edgar on their next opponent. 鈥淭he Razorbacks, they鈥檙e a team that is 3-1 right now and depending on what they did in their last game they could be 4-1.
鈥淭hat will be a tough game because there are about four teams right now that are separating themselves from the rest and us and the Razorbacks are two of those four so it鈥檒l be our first true test next week.鈥�
Kickoff is tentatively scheduled for 3:15p.m. at Leibel Field.
