Kamloops Broncos lose heartbreaker in final game of 2018
KAMLOOPS — There’s a reason they call football a game of inches.
With less than 80 seconds on the clock, Broncos receiver Thijs Duineveld took off down the near sideline at Hillside Stadium, gaining a step on his defender.
Back at the line of scrimmage, Broncos rookie QB Reid Vankoughnett stepped up in the pocket to avoid being sacked, then launched a 30-yard pass in Duineveld’s direction.
The pass slipped through Duineveld’s outstretched fingers and fell incomplete. The Broncos turned the ball over on downs.
