Crusaders improve to 2-0
The John Paul II Crusaders followed up their big first week win last Thursday by narrowly defeating the Kindersley Kobras 29-20 on Tuesday afternoon.
Last year, the Crusaders beat the Kobras twice in the regular season by a combined point total of 57-24, but this game was much different.
It was a “really tight game, evenly matched,” Crusaders head coach Bruce Yockey. “Our defence played really well – we got a number of big stops when we needed to.”
It was a back and forth affair, with the Crusaders trailing by six, then leading by eight, then only leading by two late in the fourth at 22-20. But running back Jacob Stynsky sealed the deal with a touchdown in the final minute.
