South Delta Sun Devils vs WJ Mouat Hawks

---

A battle between the undefeated WJ Mouat Hawks and the South Delta Sun Devils came down to the wire this afternoon. The X factor in a big 31-21 Sun Devils victory was the return of Dumas.

The return of Dominic Dumas, that is. The star quarterback returned to the field only having missed two games with a broken wrist. With his cast heavily padded on his non-throwing hand, he took the reigns of the offense back from his brother Damian.

With both brothers in the backfield, Damian and Dominic led the Sun Devils to victory against a Mouat team that had been running other teams out of the building for the last couple of weeks. 

Damian, who's leading the province in rushing as a quarterback, showed he's just as dangerous when he's at tailback. Damian had another spectacular day with over 200 yards rushing against a physical, sound 3-4 Mouat defense, which is built on stopping the run.

The Devils got off to an early 9-0 lead after a safety and then had a 35-yard connection from Dominic Dumas to Holden Hunter threw the air.  

That 9-0 lead didn't last long as Mouats explosive power spread offense scored the next two touchdowns and it was 14-9 Mouat at the half. To start the third quarter, it looked like Mouat was about to extend their lead further.

Driving inside the Sun Devils ten-yard line, South Delta's defense forced a fumble and recovered. It was time for the Sun Devils to turn the tide in their favor.

The very next play it was Damian Dumas's time. The province's leading rusher received a handoff and sprinted right down the middle of the field, leaving Hawk's defenders in the dust for a 90-yard score. After a 2-point conversion, the Devils were up 17-14 

After a big defensive stop and another Touchdown from Damian from five yards out, it was 24-14 South Delta. Mouat regrouped with a long scoring drive of their own and, with the score 24-21, had the ball back in their own territory with a chance to take the lead. 

 With the Sun Devils perfect record on the line they called on their secondary to save the day. With the ball in the air, Sun Devils' defensive back Anthony De Albuquerque jumped the route and stole the ball from Mouat.

Securing his second pick of the day, Albuquerque put the game away for good, taking the interception to the house for an incredible pick-six. 

Sun Devils Head Coach Ray Moon was very impressed with their team and the quality of football both teams showcased today.

"It was a fantastic showcase of high school football today as both teams showed why they came into the game 4-0 and had a great start to the regular season. it was a team win by us. Our defense played phenomenal against a team that has scored at will this season and was coming off a 62-17 win against Terry Fox."

The Sun Devils will put their perfect record on the line again next week when they play the Vancouver Fighting Irish on the road.
