The Handsworth Royals,
battered 31-0 nwo weeks ago
by perennial powerhouse
Vancouver College, stunned a
Kinsmen Field crowd Saturday
afternoon... with.a command-
ing 38-12 win over the Carson
Graham . Eagles in the 12th
annual Buchanan Bow!.

“It sure was a surprising
win,” said Handsworth head
coach Joe Bell. “It’s like they

“were two completely different
teams,” the longtime Royal
coach said of his squad’s rags
to riches early season form.

Earlier this month, follow-
ing. Collége’s embarrassing _
shutout, “of the Royals, ‘it

ionship ‘and happiness
that comes only
through faith in

would be on the “building for

~ next year” tack.

However, in light of
Saturday’s win over the
Eagles, who just last week gave
the high galloping Richmond
Colts a run for their money,
don’t bet against Handsworth
being in the familiar confines
of BC Place come provincial
championship time in late
November.

Handsworth tailback Jeff
Williams was the deserving
Most Valuable Player in the
Buchanan Bowl as he rumbled
for 219 yards on 17 carries,
three of those into the Eagles’
end zone.

The Royals also had a
strong running game from
Dave Gauder, who compiled

108 yards on 17 carries and
one touchdown.

On the other side of the
ball for Handsworth, Mark
McElligoit gave a dominating
performance. The Grade 12
linebacker recorded a game
high 10 tackles.

Handsworth quarterback
Andrew Sanderson threw qwo
touchdown strikes —- one to
tight-end Tyler Powell and a
40-varder to flanker Jordan
Kleeser — and went 5 for 14
for 50 yards. Obviously, it was
the Royals running game and

control of the offensive line of

scrimmage that was the Eagles
undoing.

Bell and his team have lirde |
time to relish the win over’:
