HOMECOMING ANOTHER HUGE SUCCESS
Despite the wet weather, Homecoming 2016 presented by Key West Ford was a another big success. A crowd well in access of 1500 watched the Hyacks defeat Carson Graham 51-0. The event also included the Save on Foods Family Fun Zone and Pre-game Party, while CTV Sports was also in attendance, hosting a portion of their sportcast from Mercer Stadium. At halftime, NWSS band turned into a marching band for a day and did a fantastic job entertaining those in attendance. Andrew Thind was this year's winner of a pre-owned Ford Focus in our raffle, courtesy of Key West Ford.
Hyacks Football would like to thank our presenting sponsor Key West Ford, along with media sponsors the New Westminster Record, CTV and Virgin Radio 94.5 FM, for their continued support of Homecoming.
On the field, the Hyacks didn't disappoint as they dominated Carson Graham by a 51-0 score, topping the 50-point mark for the 2nd consecutive game. Sammy Sidhu was named the Player of the Game with 147 yards and 2 TDs on just 7 carries. Lucas Sabau also had a strong game with 114 yards and a TD, while Finn Stark and Juan Cespedes scored their first ever TDs. Sarban Sidhu was named the Dairy Queen Lineman of the Game, while defensively Connor Pattison recorded a season-high 13 tackles.
