Westshore stuns Broncos with late comeback
KAMLOOPS — The game looked to be in the bag for the Kamloops Broncos. With just 2:48 seconds remaining, the Broncos took the lead on a 52-yard touchdown pass from Colby Henkel to Brody Bernier which gave the boys in blue a 21-18 lead.
After several penalties cost the Rebels field position and an opportunity to tie the game with a field goal, Kamloops took the possession on their own 14-yard line, needing a couple of first downs to run out the clock.
On the first play of the drive, the Broncos stayed on the ground. Several players came together on the tackle attempt, with the ball popping straight into the air. The Rebel’s Kent Hicks was Johnny-on-the-Spot for Westshore, snatching the ball out of mid-air and rumbling his way into the end zone to give the boys from the Island a 25-21 lead, which the Rebels would maintain to win the game.
