A heavy Richmond contingent helped Team B.C. win silver last weekend in the U16 Division at the Flag Football National Championships in Regina.
Coached by former B.C. Lion and Richmond native Bobby Singh and a roster that features local products Tyler Moxin, Gabriel Saklofsky and Bobby SIngh Jr., B.C. rolled off six consecutive wins before dropping a heartbreaking 19-18 decision to Ontario in the gold medal game.
"We had a chance for victory but we made mistakes and you can't do that in the finals," said coach Singh. "It's flag football at the end of the day and life goes on. That's what I've got to teach my boys. Next year the national championship is in PEI and hopefully we can get back and win it all."
B.C. finished the tournament with an overall record of six wins and one loss while out-scoring their opponents by a combined 206-62.
Meanwhile, British Columbia's under-18 girls flag team placed fourth out of five in their tournament, finishing with an overall record of one win and six losses.
End Zone... Hugh Boyd Trojans football standouts Austin Do and Jacob Tubajon showed off their skills at a invitation only TOP GUN camp held earlier this month in Dublin, Ohio.
Do (receiver) and Tubajon (fullback) joined more than 1,000 of North America's other top athletes at their position and trained with current and former NFL players and coaches.
The pair earned their invites based on their performance at a camp held earlier this year in Vancouver.
TOP GUN is the culmination of Football University's 40-camp nationwide tour gathering the most elite performers from across the United States and allowing them to compete and display their abilities together on one stage.
Football University has an impressive alumni list that includes some of the top college football recruits and players in the nation.
