GW Graham makes it two in a row with resounding 35-9 win Friday over Mt. Boucherie in Chilliwack

CHILLIWACK — GW Graham built an early lead in the first half of an Eastern Conference battle of the Ursidae at home Friday and never looked back Friday (Oct. 13) in a 35-9 win over visiting Mt. Boucherie of West Kelowna.

The 2-1 Grizzlies set the tone quickly with a 28-0 lead by halftime, with TD receptions by wide receiver Carter Dallas (27 yards), and fellow wide receiver Christian Beck (10 yards), both thrown by QB Aiden Hewitt (17-for-21, 182 yards, 2 TDs).

The ground game was solid for the Grizzlies as well, with scores on the ground by running back Grady Andrea (20 yards) and running back Noah Johnson (5 yards).

Special teams was a big part of the game, as the Grizzlies attempted an onside kickoff and gunner Noah Sandau recovered it to help the offence put points on the board.

Linebacker Billy Hunter had 7 tackles, two of which were for a loss, and another two were sacks. The Grizzlies only surrendered a late TD to the Bears on the last play of the game.
