The British Columbia Football Conference is pleased to announce their “VidSwap.com Players of the Week” for Week Six of the 2011 season.
For the second consecutive week the BCFC Offensive Player of the Week is Westshore Rebel running back Greg Morris. The tailback would represent the only offense the Rebels could muster against the VI Raiders on Saturday afternoon in Nanaimo. With the Rebels not able to complete a single pass all game it was up to Morris to carry the load. He would carry 18 times for 205 yards averaging 11.4 yards a run. He would also score the lone touchdown of the game for the visitors.

Defensively in Week 6 there were a number of outstanding performances as all three visiting teams would combine for just 22 points. One performance however stood out from the others. Vancouver Island Raiders linebacker Andrew Oake is the BCFC Defensive Player of the Week. The second year player would record six tackles, a batted ball, a forced fumble AND a fumble recovery in the end zone for a touchdown. Oake was part of the Raiders “D” that allowed just eight points on Saturday afternoon. It’s the first defensive player of the week award for a Raider this season.

The BCFC Special Teams Player of the Week is a no brainer. On Saturday night, Langley Rams returner Nick Downey showed why he is a two time CJFL Return Specialist of the Year. He would return five kicks (3 punts and 2 kick-offs) for 226 yards and two touchdowns against the Broncos. With 20 seconds remaining in the first half Downey would return a punt 71 yards for a major, then on the opening kick-off of the second half Downey scampered 96 yards for a touchdown. This would be his third of the season and fourth in his career, both setting new CJFL records. Downey would add a 50 yard touchdown reception and has now scored six touchdowns in two games against Kamloops.
