G.W. Graham dominates Lord Tweedsmuir 42-0, advances to semifinal playoffs at BC Place

CHILLIWACK — Two weeks ago, Lord Tweedsmuir came back from a halftime deficit to give G.W. Graham a run for its money in the second half before the Grizzlies finished the deal and beat the Panthers at home on November 4.

This time around, the Grizzlies left nothing to chance and dominated on defence with four interceptions and two fumble recoveries, and quarterback Aiden Hewitt completed 15 passes for 192 yards and three touchdowns, as G.W. Graham blanked Lord Tweedsmuir in a resounding 42-0 win Friday night at Exhibition Stadium in Chilliwack.

“It was a great win by all three facets of the game, but especially proud of the defence’s dominating performance on the way to the semifinals at BC Place next week,” said head coach and defensive coordinator Ryk Piche.

Defensive backs Christian Beck, Carter Dallas and Grady Andrea, along with linebacker Riley Ashley, each had an interception to stifle the Panthers offence. Ashley led the way with seven tackles, followed by linebacker Billy Hunter with five tackles.
