Football Alberta proudly ran it’s 5th Bantam Bowl for graduating Grade 9 minor football players today. Here are the results:
Bantam Bowl
South 19 North 8
McMahon Stadium, Calgary
Bantam Bowl’s are usually low scoring affairs and this one was no different, however it came with a twist in that both offenses moved the ball very well and it was only a matter of finish that kept the score from being higher.
The defenses bent but didn’t break with the only scoring of the first half being a safety touch awarded to the South.
In the third quarter the South broke it open with a 24 yard field goal from Derek Sentes from the Lethbridge Cougars and a 34 yard pass interception touchdown by the Calgary Cyclone’s Daunte Moodie.
In the fourth quarter Calgary Bulldog QB Michael Sherman hit Calgary Maverick Nathan Rowe for an 11 yard touchdown to give the South a 19-0 lead before Kobe Hyland from the Spruce Grove Cougars put the North’s only points on the board on a 12 yard TD run (followed by a two point convert by Peace River Prospector, Kelton Bailey) to make the final South 19 North 8.
The next Bantam Bowl will be run in two years as it alternates years with bantam football’s inclusion in the Alberta Summer Games that will be held next July in Airdrie.
