TRURO, N.S. – The Truro Freightliners got back on the winning track with a 30-6 victory over Dartmouth Destroyers Black in recent Nova Scotia Bantam Football League action.

Offensive contributions in the victory came from Johnathan Seeton, with three touchdowns, and another from Liam Legge. Defensively, the charge was led by Caleb Wolthers, with help from Ryland Phillips and Jase Langille. Eric Fields was solid on both sides of the ball.
