BCSSFA Game of the Week

Seaquam Seahawks vs Notre Dame Jugglers

7:30 Friday September 22nd

Burnaby Lake

Seaquam Seahawks

The keys to victory include the following:

1. Winning the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Gavin Murray and Dedaar Jhooty are two Seaquam linemen to watch for in this game. Both represented Team BC in the recent 2017 Canada Cup that took place in Nova Scotia.

2. Balanced Offensive approach which includes a solid running game and passing attack. The running game features a trio of running backs including Jalen Philpot, Jello Juacato and Antonio Pamintuan. The Seahawks passing attack is led by senior Quarterback, Josh Haydu and his passing options include receivers: Tyson Philpot, Chris Martin and Jacob Van Luven.

3. We have prepared our defense based on what Notre Dame did on offence against both Abbotsford and Holy Cross. However, we know with the legendary Dennis Kelly as Notre Dame’s Head Coach / Offensive Coordinator, that will need to prepare for every conceivable offensive formation, play etc.!
