WESTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPS
The Hyacks saved their best performance for last, with a dominant 63-16 win over South Delta on Seniors Night. Sammy Sidhu opened the scoring on the Hyacks first possession with a 41 yard run. Lucas Sabau from (3 yards), Kinsale Philip (50 yard) and Sidhu again (18 yards) paced the Hyacks to a 29-8 lead after the first quarter. Sebastien Reid scored twice in the 2nd quarter on runs of 33 and 56 yards to give the home team a 43-8 lead shortly before halftime. Sidhu rushed for 187 yards in the first half. In the third quarter, Sabau again (43 yards), Juan Cespedes (20 yards) and Michael Kinglsey (10 yards) rounded out the scoring, as the Hyacks racked up 551 yards rushing, a new single game school record.
The defensive performance was equally dominant, with Philip leading the way with 12 tackles and 2 QB sacks. Sidhu was named the Sportcheck Player of the game, while Isaiah James was named Dairy Queen Lineman of the Game.
The win gave the Hyacks the coveted Kushnir Boot, along with the Western Conference regular season title. It also capped a first ever unbeaten regular season, as the team finished 7-0 in league play (9-1 overall) and will earn a first round playoff bye. A complete recap of last Friday night's game here.

Noah Perera, Jason Rithaler, EJ Hansraj, Amun Thiara
and Zafar Hassanali. Nigel Derasp scored the first 2 TDs for the Hyacks, Lukas lalji also added a pair of majors, while Nathan Hillmann scored 1 TD and was his usual "Beast" self defensively with countless tackles for loss.

Saw their season come to an end with a 9-8 loss at North Surrey, snapping a 2-game winning streak
