”Yapo has a non-stop engine,” defensive coordinator Ian Parks noted. “He is always around the ball and simply makes things happen. On offense the cheers of ‘Beast Mode’ from the Grizzlies faithful can be heard every time he carries the ball.

Conteh earned equal praise from G.W. head coach and offensive coordinator Luke Acheson. ““He is [a] force to take down. You never see one guy bring down Yapo – it usually takes 3 or 4.”

Meanwhile, QB Lucas Feaver’s MVP season continued on 11-of-17 passing for 285 yards and 5 TDs with an incredible quarterback rating of 147.6.

“To be fair to Lucas, 4 of those 6 incompletions tonight were drops – he was very accurate and sees the field incredibly well,” Acheson said. “We are getting accustomed to his skill set – he is playing at another level this year.”

Feaver’s trusted targets included Tyson Orregaard with 7 catches for 141 yards, a TD and a 2-point conversion. Dallas Carter hauled in 2 receptions for 80 yards and 2 TDs.

Braeden Macdonald added a 28-yard TD. Aside from Conteh’s ground contributions, Maleky Colgiu also had 4 carries for an impressive 102 yards.

On defense the Grizzlies were led by Vinny Branauer with 3 sacks, Josh Seo with 8 tackles, and Owen Lal with 4 tackles. Riley Ashley and Tyson Orregaard also had fumble recoveries for the Grizzlies while Colgiu had 3 tackles, forced a fumble and had a tackle for a loss.

“Holding a capable offense like the Owls to one score is a real testament to the way these boys attacked the football tonight,” said Parks. “We gave up some yards early to their running game but made the necessary adjustments and the players executed very well.”

A staggering 21 Grizzlies were on the stat sheet with tackles.

“This was a real team win for the defense tonight” concluded Parks.

The #2 ranked Grizzlies travel to West Kelowna next Saturday to take on the Mt. Boucherie Bears.
