Even when they really didn’t want to, the top-ranked Terry Fox Ravens couldn’t help getting the ball over the goal line in a 79-0 win over W.J. Mouat in their BC high school football game Abbostsord on Friday.
The Ravens led 58-0 at halftime, largely because of Jaden Severy’s five touchdowns and 273 yards rushing. He was given the second half off as Ravens’ coach Martin McDonnell tried to temper his team’s rout.
“You get to a point where you just feel bad,” McDonnell. “It’s just one of those things that snowballed.”
Even as McDonnell deployed his young Grade 10 players, the scoring onslaught continued. When it was over, Jevaun Jacobsen and Liam Cumarasamy had each scored a pair of majors along with another by kicker Albert Arcena. He also converted all 10 touchdowns.
McDonnell said he cautioned his team not to take Friday’s result for granted, as they prepare to host Kelowna this Friday at Percy Perry Stadium in Coquitlam.
“It’s not going to be like that every week,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Centennial Centaurs started western conference play with a 39-6 loss to Mission on Friday.
Quarterback Max Kennedy scored Centennial’s only major on a 65-yard run.
The Centaurs will be in for real test of Friday when they host unbeaten St. Thomas More at 7 p.m. at Percy Perry Stadium. The Knights have yet to concede a point to their opponents.
