AA Varsity Championship Edition

AA Varsity 2018 BC Championship Game
Saturday, December 1st
BC Place Stadium



VS





Vernon Panthers vs Robert Bateman Timberwolves:  Well folks, these are clearly the two best AA Varsity Football Teams in British Columbia.  Each squad is coming off of dominant and convincing semi-final games this past Saturday.  The season and playoffs are there for a reason: The best teams emerge by playing the games and demonstrating their mastery of the game fair and square on a level playing field.  On Saturday, 1 December, the 2018 Subway Bowl is going to be a treat for all who watch!

I think Bateman is easily the most improved team in the province this year.  Every week they have gotten better and they now face a true force of nature in the Vernon Panthers on the big stage.  I am really excited to see how this one plays out.  Both offenses can put a load of points on the board on the ground and in the air.  Both defenses are extremely physical and fly to the ball.  The big boys up front are super for each team.  Vernon may have a bit of an edge in terms of toughness there however.  Special teams are a draw.  Each team has a superb kicker and the field is going to get flipped multiple times on game day.  This one will come down to turnovers and the ability to protect the quarterback.  GI's Pick: Vernon in a squeaker where having gained an early lead, they barely survive a second half Bateman surge.

Final Note:  Congratulations to both rosters and their coaching staff, supporters!  You guys earned this and are the best in the province.  Enjoy your special day!  You do AA Varsity Football Proud!!
