Jalen Edwards opened the game with a 41 yard kickoff return. Andrew Locke finished the drive off with a 20 yard TD run on the next play. What a great way to start. With balanced rushing and receiving, offence faired very well. Defence demolished and special teams kicked… for great yards.

He maintained 4 of 6 attempts and also converted a passing convert. Chilliwack Giants Atom Blue (2-3) now sit in the 4th and final playoff spot with 5 games to go.
