CJFL Players of the Week (2)

The CJFL announces their Players of the Week across the country.

OFC – Week 2

Quarterback #11 Austin Lumley – Windsor AKO Fratmen
Leading his Windsor AKO Fratmen teammates to a hard-fought victory over the Ottawa Sooners by a score of 22-17, QB #11 Austin Lumley had an outstanding day as he went 11 for 20 on passing with a grand total of 271 yards (long 64) and two touchdown passes, earning him the honours of Week 2 OFC Offensive Player of the Week. Austin is only 19-years old and is currently a first year player with the AKO Fratmen. According to the Fratmen organization, Austin really showed his competitive spirit against Ottawa by coming back into the game after a shaky start to lead his team to a come-from-behind victory. Austin’s confidence is never shaken, and it seems to be a quality that is rubbing off on his teammates.

PFC – Week 2

Quarterback #12 Ryan Marsch – Winnipeg Rifles
A new era began in Winnipeg this past week as the Rifles opened Interior Field as their new home.  Quarterback Ryan Marsch apparently likes his new surroundings as he finished 24 for 30 for 466 yards and threw four touchdown passes.  He is the PFC’s Offensive Player of the Week.

BCFC –  Week 5

Receiver #18 Derek Yachison – Kamloops Broncos
The Kamloops Broncos and VI Raiders played an evenly matched game on Saturday night.  One of the brightest stars for the Broncos offensively was receiver Derek Yachison who recorded six catches for 151 yards and the lone Broncos touchdown through the air.  Though the Broncos would fall short, Yachison is the “BC Lions Offensive Player of the Week.”

OFC –  Week 2

Linebacker #52 Félix Pelletier – St. Leonard Cougars
Helping his St. Leonard Cougars defeat the London Beefeaters by a score of 25-18, LB #52 Félix Pelletier had an outstanding performance on defense and earned himself a whopping 22 points in the process. With five tackles and four QB sacks, Félix’s performance earned him the honour of Week 2 OFC Defensive Player of the Week. Félix is only 18-years old and is currently playing in his first season with the Cougars. According to the Cougars organization, Félix is one of their most promising rookies this year, and the defensive line is very happy to have him.

PFC – Week 2

Linebacker #46 Cole Benkic – Saskatoon Hilltops
The Saskatoon Hilltops ran their record to 2-0 after a 30-15 win in Regina.  Defensively the Hilltops didn’t allow a touchdown and would give up just 68 yards on the ground.  One of the biggest reasons was the play of linebacker Cole Benkic, who had four tackles, one interception and one knockdown.  He is the PFC’s Defensive Player of the Week.

BCFC – Week 5

Defensive Lineman #98 Ash Gayat – VI Raiders
The VI Raiders have been one of the best defenses through the first half of the season and they have been led by veteran defensive lineman Ash Gayat.  In Week 5 Gayat would lead the Raiders with 15 defensive points.  He would collect two tackles, one assisted tackle, two sacks, a batted ball and recover a fumble.  His efforts name him the “BC Lions Defensive Player of the Week.”

BCFC – Week 5

Kicker #83 Ryan Jones – VI Raiders
On Saturday night the VI Raiders would score 37 points, which made kicker Ryan Jones a very busy person.  The “BC Lions Special Teams Player of the Week,” would connect on two field goals (12 and 39 yards) and three converts.  He would tally four punts that traveled 170 yards and six kickoffs averaging 51.3 yards.  This is Jones’ first award of the season.

OFC – Week 2

Returner #10 Jean-Jacques Janvier Jr. – St. Leonard Cougars
Sparking his St. Leonard Cougars to narrowly defeat the London Beefeaters by a score of 25-18, WR #10 Jean-Jacques Janvier Jr. had another spectacular week, particularly on kick-off return, where he had two carries for a combined total of 138 yards and a long of 105, which resulted in a momentum-shifting and ultimately game-winning touchdown, earning Jean-Jacques the honour of Week 2 OFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Jean-Jacques is only 18-years old and is a first year player with the Cougars. According to the Cougars organization, Jean-Jacques’ prior playing experience in the CEGEP is what has really helped him to carve his spot on the Cougars roster among the veteran players.

PFC – Week 2

Kicker #9 Brett Thorarinsson – Saskatoon Hilltops
12 of the Saskatoon Hilltops 30 points on Saturday came off the foot of kicker Brett Thorarinsson.  He was a perfect 3-3 in field goals and hit all three converts.  Thorarinsson would also tally six kickoffs, traveling 212 yards, including a 63 yarder.  He is the PFC’s Special Teams Player of the Week.
