win. Tarek Elneweihi tied the score for the Falcons with five minutes remaining in regulation time on a five-yard run.

Windsor makes.history at provincials

THE WINDSOR Dukes made school histo-
ry last Saturday afternoon at BC Place when
their senior football team downed favored
Port Moody Blues 3-0 to earn a berth in this
Friday’s provincial single-A final.

By A.P. McCredie

And while it wasn’t the most exciting, nor high
scoring, of gridiron battles, a beaming Jay
Prepchuk didn't seem to care.

“Going into this game, we never took the
approach that we'd just show up and try our best,”
the elated Windsor head coach said following the
win. “I just told our guys that we're good enough to
play with these guys.”

And good enough proved to be enough.

Prepchuk's defence shut down the high-pow-
ered Blues’ offence with a solid nickel defense and
an ever-changing array of coverage schemes,

“1 didn't think we could contain their offence, so
we concentrated more on downfield coverage,”
Prepchuk explained of his team’s winning formula.

The sole scoring play of the game came at the
foot of kicker Cam Watson, who converted a field-
goal atternpt with 4:53 to play in the second quar-
ler.

Standout performers for the Dukes included
Phil Harwood, who picked off three Port Moody
passes, including a spectacularly acrobatic tip-and-
catch to quash a lue first-half Port Moody drive.
Also, the entire Windsor defensive line outplayed
the bigger and stronger Blues’ offence, especially
on the run,

With just a three-point lead with 10 minutes to
go, Prepchuk started to call running back Dan
Rootes number more frequently. Up until the

fourth, the lions share of Duke running pjays had
gone to Rob Thorton, a quick and deceptive run-
ner. (Considering Thorton broke his leg this sum-
mer, the fact that he was even playing, let alone car-
rying the ball so often, was amazing). ‘

“We started to give the ball to Danny to change
the pace of the game,” Prepchuk explained, adding
that Rootes’ straight-ahead ninning style was better
suited to time consuming-drives.

And with 10 minutes left in the game, a time-
consuming drive was just what the Dukes needed.
Following a missed Port Moody field-goal attempt,
the Dukes embarked on a 45-yard drive, gobbling
up six minutes in the fourth quarter. Rootes made a
number of key rushes during the drive.

But Port Moody had one more chance to score.
Taking over on their own 35, the Blues began to
march down the field in the waning minutes. But
with 1:47 to play, Harwood got his third intercep-
tion at the Dukes’ 29-yard line. Four kneel-downs
ran out the clock on the Blues,

In the other single-A semi-final, held at BC
Place on Saturday morning, defending B.C.
champs Carson Graham Eagles were stunned by
the North Delia Huskies 28-0.

Down 7-0 at the half, the Eagles couldn't con-

tain Huskie half backs Ian Petrov and Mike
Lavaliee in the opening drive of the third, resulting
in another North Delta major. On their subsequent
possession, the Eagles failed to convert on a fourth
and one at their own 39 yard line, giving the
Huskies a chance to pull even further away. They
did. On their first play from scrimmage, the right
side of North Delta’s line cleared a path for a 38-
yard TD scramble by Petrov.

What makes the result even more surprising for -
the previously undefeated Eagles (8-0), was
Windsor's advancement to the big game. Of the two
North Shore teams in single-A semis, most expect-
ed the Eagles, not the Dukes, to be in the final. But
Windsor, which finished the regular season with an
8-1 record, showed signs of promise all season,
including a 16-7 win over Mento Park in California
on Oct. 28.

As far as this Friday’s single-A final against
North Delta is concemed, Prepchuk figures not to
tinker with success.

“T guess we'll just try to spread their offence out
again and stick to our game plan,” he said.

The Windsor Dukes meet North Delta Huskies
at 5:30 p.m. on Friday at BC Place in the B.C. sin-
gle-A final.
