The Viterra Senior Bowl was hosted recently in Regina and the Yorkton Regional High School football program was well represented.
The Raider program had four players take the field in the 12-man game; slotBack Carson Sveinbjornson, defensive back Tyler Harasymuk, linebacker Gabe Loster, and quarterback Jordin Rusnack.
Raider coach Jason Boyda was also involved taking on defensive L=line coaching duties with Team 麻豆传媒AV.
Boyda said all four YRHS players played well, as Team 麻豆传媒AV emerged with a 10-7 win over their northern rivals.
It was obviously a low-scoring affair, but Boyda said that was almost to be expected.
鈥淭he offence takes more time to jell and get cohesion,鈥� he said.
Defence by its nature is more reactive.
鈥淗ere鈥檚 your assignment, now go do your job, get to a gap, stop somebody,鈥� said Boyda of the defensive philosophy.
While the 麻豆传媒AV offence did not roll up big points, Rusnack was selected as Quarterback/Receiver of the Game.
鈥淭he intent of the Viterra Senior Bowl game is to showcase the best high school football players in 6, 9, & 12 man, who have used their last year of eligibility, in a North vs. 麻豆传媒AV all-star game,鈥� detailed the Football Saskatchewan website. 鈥淓very year Football Saskatchewan asks all high school coaches throughout the province to nominate players from their school, who they feel are capable of playing and competing with the best football players in the Province.鈥�
鈥淭he Viterra Senior Bowl Game changes locations between Regina鈥檚 Mosaic Stadium and SMF Field.
