G.W. Graham dominates in a 38-13 exhibition win over St. Thomas More Collegiate at Exhibition Stadium

Linebacker Riley Ashley led the stingy defence with 5 solo tackles, and 3 helpers, while Branauer added 5 more tackles (3 tackles for a loss and a sack).

“Any time a team can hold an opponent to two first downs in the first half, and then get 18 different players to register a tackle in the game, you will have an extremely proud defensive coordinator. These boys are fighting hard for playing time,” defensive coordinator Ian Parks said.

The Grizzlies offense showed ample production from a number of key performers. In addition to QB Feaver’s fabulous feats, QB Aiden Hewitt was 4-of-6 passing for 77 yards and 1 TD. Running back Maleky Colgiu racked up 24 yards receiving and another TD. Yapo Conteh had 32 yards rushing on 5 carries and 1 TD.

Tyson Orregaard led the air attack with 9 receptions for 125 yards, and Brayden Macdonald had 5 catches for 67 yards and a TD. Carter Dallas added 3 catches for 57 yards, and Christian Beck hauled in 3 catches for 56 yards.

Special teams were a big part of this game, Parks said, as Brayden Fraser had a fumble recovery on a Josh Seo punt. Meanwhile, Owen Lal recovered a Seo onside kick in the second half to give the Grizzlies great field position into their next offensive series. Seo was 3-for- 3 on PATs, and kicked a 26-yard field goal as well.

G.W. Graham coach Luke Acheson characterized the win as an equally balanced attack on all fronts.

“It was great complimentary football,” Coach Acheson said. “All three aspects of the game were needed to get this win against a tough, talented opponent.”

The 4-0 Grizzlies face the Vancouver College Fighting Irish this Saturday (Oct. 1) at 1:30 p.m. for its first regular season game.
