Sun turn up heat down in Langley
The Okanagan Sun Football Club scored 17 unanswered points in the second half to defeat the defending National Champion Langley Rams by a score of 20-7 Saturday afternoon.
The Langley Rams drew first blood in the football game when a couple Sun penalties allowed the Rams to throw the ball deep and score the first and only touchdown of the first half.
The Sun would answer back after Mike O’Shea was able to return a punt deep into the Rams’ red zone.
The Sun would fail to get the ball into the end zone forcing a field goal from backup placekicker Marcus Burden to score a chip shot field goal to cut the lead to 7-3.
Both clubs would have chances to score in the 2nd quarter but flags were thrown on every big yard play keeping it 7-3 Rams at halftime.
The Sun offensive line would give their Quarterback Dom Britton time in the 2nd half allowing Britton to find wide receiver Mike O’Shea with a deep ball to make it 10-7 Sun in the 3rd quarter.
In the 4th quarter the Sun would add another Dominic Britton rushing touchdown and a field goal from Marcus Burden to give them a comfortable 20-7 lead.
The Sun defense would lead the way with linebacker Peyton Ryder making a handful of open field tackles to give the Sun the victory and a perfect 2-0 start to the BCFC regular season.
The Sun are back in action next Saturday Aug. 13 when they host the Westshore Rebels. Kickoff at 7 p.m. from the Apple Bowl in Kelowna.
