The Rams defense was terrific and forced 3 turnovers, and recorded 4 sacks in the contest. The defense had major contributions from a host of Rams.

“Tato Ferreyro lead the team with tackles (8) plus a forced fumble and fumble recovery. Ā Both Tato and Tayden Mountford played awesome coming up from their safety position. Ā Brandon Hunt and Ryan Crockett both had key picks that helped swing momentum our way,” said head coach, Bubba Montabello of his team’s performance.
Scoreless after the first quarter, the Marauders scored in the second quarter going into the half, 6-0. After a blocked punt in the third quarter deep in the Wolves territory, Pitt Meadows capitalized on a field goal bringing the score to 9-0 going into the last quarter of the game.

The Marauders scored their last touchdown off an interception in Bateman’s own end – final score was 16-0.
“Disappointing game for our program. We were not good enough today. Ā Same story different week though. Tough win when you drop passes, fumble the ball, throw INT’s, and get a punt blocked deep in your own end. Ā We have got to find a way to stop diggingĀ deep holes for ourselves,” commented head coach David Mills of the Wolves. “Defensively we played well, minus one drive.Ā Ā Offensively we couldn’t finish drives because we kept turning the ball over and hurting ourselves withĀ drops.”
Even though the score may suggest otherwise, Coach Montabello said this of the game;
“Bateman a very physical team and it was a very physical battle all game. Ā It was a fight by both teams all game with no one giving up. Ā I am very proud of how our team responded to that physicality.Ā It was a great team win with both offensive and defence doing their part.”
Bateman will go on to play GW Graham on Friday while Pitt Meadows will face the Abbotsford Panthers on Friday.
