Demarius Henderson ran for five touchdowns Sunday -- only two were called back on penalties.
Still, it was plenty enough for his Coquitlam Vikings to snap their three-game losing slide and post a convincing 30-16 win over the North Delta Longhorns in a Vancouver Mainland Football League Jr. Bantam game at soggy Kevin Chin Field.
Brenden Dieno was also a force offensively for the Vikes, who wrapped up the regular season with a 5-4 record to secure a playoff spot.
Maleek Womack and Elijah John led the Vikes' defence with five solo tackles apiece, with plenty of support coming from Caleb Swain, Moe Hassain, Dade Motz, Nic Greene and Camron Doust.
Wildcats win
Max Kennedy ran for two touchdowns set up primarily by Nico DePaoli's downfield dashes as the host Coquitlam Wildcats posted a big 14-8 victory over the Cloverdale Bobcats in a Peewee Division clash.
DePaoli and Kennedy also rallied the Wildcats' stingy defence, along with Edvin Colakovic, Chad Degau, Tre Peters and J.D. Johnson. Coquitlam's Matthew Hewa-Baddege came up with a huge defensive play late in the game when he dropped the Bobcats' quarterback for a huge loss on third down.
After that, Wildcats' pivot Jamal Mensah smartly ran out the clock to preserve the win.
Cougs do it
Jevaun Jacobsen scored his second major of the game with 1:30 remaining to carry the Coquitlam Cougars to a dramatic 14-12 victory over the North Surrey Hawks in another Peewee contest at Surrey's Bear Creek Park.
Tyrese Reed sparked the Cougars' defence with eight solo tackles, with Jacobsen adding seven and a sack. Eric Polan, Mitch Bye and Jaden Severy had four solos apiece.
Linemen Markus Dyer, Halen Davies and Sam Neglia were all forces for the Cougars.
