Bronze will again be the best B.C. can do at the Football Canada Cup.
For the second straight year at the Under-18 tournament, Team BC will finish no better than third on Friday's final day of the tournament after falling 31-15 to Team Quebec in their semifinal game Tuesday.
Team BC -- featuring Terry Fox Raven players Tyrel Ratich (defensive lineman), Jake Nylund (linebacker) and Mason Woods (offensive lineman) -- opened the tournament last Saturday with an 18-0 win over Team Manitoba but couldn't contain the high-powered offence of Team Quebec in a 31-15 semifinal loss.
"The coaching staff was very happy with our players' effort and intensity," said head coach Tom Kudaba of Terry Fox following Tuesday's defeat. "We did make too many assignment errors, which is fatal against Quebec."
Team Ontario West dropped a 25-8 decision to the host Team Alberta in the other semifinal. Team BC will face Team Ontario West in this year's bronze-medal clash, scheduled to kickoff today (Friday) 3 p.m. Visit www.canadafootballchat.com.
