The South Delta Sun Devils continued their stellar play in a 32-2 victory over the Handsworth Royals.
Already having clinched second in their conference, this contest didn't have any impact on the Sun Devils playoff seeding. Despite that, this game had a massive impact on the Sun Devils's safety, Hudson Wight.
Wight made his return to the lineup after recovering from a bad break in his leg in a freak basketball accident. A team captain and emotional leader, the Sun Devils were elated to see him get back on the field and lead the team in tackles.
The Sundevils came out with great energy and were able to take control early with a quick stop on defense before Damian Dumas took one of his carries for a 40-yard touchdown. Dumas would have his lightest workload of the season, ending the day with only five carries for 70 yards and two scores.
The Sun Devils extended their lead to 16-0 after a Dominic Dumas pass to Quinn Sjoberg found the endzone from 30 yards out. Damian's final score of the day started off the second quarter.
Dominic, not wanting to be outdone by his little brother, scrambled for a 75-yard touchdown to end the half, and with the score 29-0 Sun Devils at the half, the rout was on.
Sun Devils Head Coach Ray Moon was glad most of his players were able to get in the game down the stretch.
"It was a great team effort today, it was clear from the onset that we were a stronger team and it enabled us to get our less experienced guys in for some meaningful reps," said Moon
"It was great to see the excitement our team had for their teammates having success on the field. The guys playing today have been really working hard to make our scout team as close to the opposition as possible, so it was nice to get them as much playing time as they did."
The Sundevils now wait for the seeding committee to meet after the last games tomorrow to decide what their path will look like. Finishing the season with a 9-1 record and ranked as the #2 team in the province for the last 3 weeks, they hope to be playing right until the end of November.
