Caleb “budder” Carrier, centering the ball and snapping to Owen “roadrunner” Cheng. Cheng ran a touchdown in Saturday’s opening jamboree, at Spring Tackle Football. There were four 20 minute games, with the Sooke boys outscoring the competition, 12 touchdowns to one. A very impressive pre-season showing for our generous offence and our stingy defence. The season begins next Sunday in Nanaimo. See you at the field!
