Football Alberta Senior Bowl comes down to wire as North prevails (stats)

It was all North early on in the 23rd Annual Football Alberta Senior Bowl High School Football All-Star Game. After trading punts for most of the first quarter the North struck paydirt using the Austin O’Brien connection with running back Leonardo Mantuila scampering for 42 yards down to the South’s 15 yard line which was immediately followed by fellow Crusaders QB Jesse Schneider and SB Rick LeMoignan hooking up for the 15 yard TD pass with 1:27 left in the quarter. The next North possession saw Salisbury QB Matt Bonaca bootleg 62 yards setting up a 24 yard FG from Ideen Samadi out of Paul Kane at 13:54 of the second quarter.

The South responded late in the second after a 18 yard interception return by L.C.I.’s Connor Robinson plus an unnecessary roughness penalty put the ball on the North’s one yard line, Bishop O’Byrne’s Jarvis James plunged over for the TD to make it 10-7 with 4:45 left in the half. With 9 seconds left in the half Samadi added his second field goal of the day with a 37 yarder to make it 13-7 North at the half.

The second half opened with a bang as Holy Trinity Academy’s Brandon Bellman took the opening kickoff for the South to the North’s five yard line. The South immediately fumbled on the next play giving the ball to the North on their one. Three plays later the North conceded a safety touch to bring the score to 13-9 for the North at 12:58 of the third. At 6:26 of the third the North extended their lead to 20-7 with a three yard run from Bev Facey’s Jordan Samoil following a thrilling 40 yard scramble from Schneider the play before.

The South threatened early in the fourth but a 3rd and one gamble at the North 10 yard line was shut down by Austin O’Brien linebacker Aidan Panchyshyn. From there the North was unable to move the ball and on the ensuing South drive St. Timothy QB Aaron Elock Colye hooked up with Notre Dame’s Coel Bazinet three times before taking it over for the one yard QB sneak himself to make it 20-15 (the convert failed) with 8:03 left in the game. The next North drive saw Braiden Annabale from Archbishop Jordan stripped of the ball at the North’s 35 yard line which the South failed to turn into points. With 1:33 left in the game the North iced it with a 40 yard FG from Samadi making it 23-15 which was the final score.

This now ties the series at 11 wins a piece with one tie. For their efforts, Panchyshyn was named the North MVP and Taylor Brooks, a wide receiver from Foothills with four tough catches in the game was named the South MVP.
