Logic dictates that the team that only runs 18 offensive plays in a game is going to end up on the wrong side of the score -- unless that squad scores on 14 of them.
That's precisely what the Coquitlam Wildcats did Saturday night, when they scored seven touchdowns and successfully converted all of them on way to a 49-0 romp over the Burnaby Lions in a Vancouver Mainland Football League Peewee division game at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex.
Coquitlam made it two huge Peewee victories when the Cougars clobbered the Cloverdale Lynx 42-0 Sunday at Kevin Chin Field.
After holding the Lions to three-and-out after the opening kick, the Wildcats quickly capitalized with Max Kennedy darting 35 yards to put his team up 7-0.
After Colton Dube's touchdown-saving tackle forcing Burnaby to eventually turn the ball over on downs, the Lions' Jamal Mensah rambled 87 yards to paydirt, then followed it up with another major shortly after.
Nico DePaoli then bolted for back-to-back TD's as the Wildcats raced to a cozy 35-0 halftime lead.
DePaoli scored his third touchdown on a 50-yard dash before Nathan Aspden's interception led to a Tre Peters' 50-yard sprint for his first touchdown of the season.
For the Cougars, Cedric Ducharme paved the way with a pair of touchdowns followed by singles from Uriah Hestdalen, Jevaun Jacobsen, Tyrese Reed and Joel Pielak.
Mitch Bye was force all over the field, nabbing an interception, running in two extra points and booting another. Jaden Severy sparked the Cougars' rushing attack.
Text-book sacks were recorded by Matthew Glover and Jacobsen.
Quarterback Stuart Phillips hit Ethan Shuen on a 58-yard scoring screen pass to spark the Coquitlam Tigers to a 38-6 Atom triumph over the Burnaby Lions at foggy Kevin Chin Field on Sunday morning.
After Shuen then scored his second of three majors on a 12-yard gallop, the Lions trimmed the Coquitlam lead to 12-6. However, Phillips promptly responded with a 27-yard rushing touchdown, then added two more along with another by Shuen.
Simon Kim added convert for the winners.
Maleek Womack had a 50-yard kick return but the Coquitlam Vikings failed to score the entire game in a 35-0 defeat to the host Langley Wranglers in a Junior Bantam battle.
Womack also made four solo tackles, with Caelb Swain doing the same. The closest the Vikings came to scoring was in the third quarter, when they moved the ball to the Wranglers' third-yard line before turning the ball over on downs.
