It wasn’t for a lack of effort.
The Prince George Kodiaks gave the Westshore Rebels all they could handle in their BC Football Conference semi-final on Saturday at Starlight Stadium in Langford, dropping a 45-28 decision.
The Rebels opened the scoring courtesy of a Gavin Sessions touchdown pass to Jeremiah Beckwith for a 7-0 lead. PG responded with a drive of their own highlighted by a Sawyer Thiessen touchdown run.
Sessions tossed his second major score of the game to Tyrell Hofland putting the Rebels back in front at 14-7.
A big drive by the Kodiaks evened the score at halftime as Thiessen plunged into the end zone on a third and goal at the one yard line.
However, the Rebels came out the gate in half two with 24-0 run backed by a pair of Carter Williams.
Session also found Beckwith for the second time in the end zone early in the third quarter.
With four minutes remaining, Thiessen found Lucas Cowley for a 35-yard TD catch. Williams rushed for his third touchdown of the contest with 1:30 remaining.
PG ended the game on a high as Thiessen found Matthew Sturgess in the end zone followed by a Brayden Van Someren two point conversion.
Westshore moves on to the BC Football Conference Final against the Okanagan Sun. The Sun dispatched the Vancouver Island Raiders 43-12.
