Centennial Centaurs vs Seaquam Seahawks

---

The Centennial Centaurs bounced back from a tight loss last week against the New Westminster Hyacks. The Centaurs channeled their frustrations from that loss into a convincing 45-19 win over the Seaquam Seahawks Friday. 

The Centaurs scored on their first possession when Jaedyn Livingstone took a pass 35 yards to make it 7-0. The Seahawks responded in the middle of the quarter after an interception, which two plays later turned into a Seahawks touchdown.

In the second quarter, with the game tied at seven, the Centaurs started to pull away. Touchdowns from Jasper Baron and Jaedyn Livingstone made the score 21 -7 at the half for the Centaurs.

The third quarter started, and the Centaurs picked up where they left off. First, Ena Laqui found the endzone, and then a field goal by Doran Geremia stretched the Centuar's lead to 31 -7, which seemed to put the game away.

Not so fast! The Seahawks came storming back. After scoring a quick touchdown, the Seahawks lined up for an onside kick. Seaquam recovered and then drove down the field for another major, and all of a sudden, we had a game again with the lead being cut to 31-19 Centaurs. 

On the ensuing kickoff the Seahawks tried their luck again with an onside attempt. As the ball bounced towards a pile of players, desperately trying to recover the ball fell into the hands of the Centaur's Livingstone. The Centaurs star capped off his big day by not only recovering the kick but sprinting all the way to the endzone and sealing the game for good.

The Centaur's defense had yet another strong performance. The unit was led by linebackers Kaleb Montpetit, who had five tackles and a fumble recovery, and Harry Lobay, who had six tackles. Defensive lineman Cole McEwan was also a force up front all night.

Centaur's Head Coach, Dino Geremia, commended his team and opponents post-game.

"A good win for us overall. Seaquam showed great toughness and played hard all night. I was proud of our team's ability to come up with plays in all 3 phases of the game. We need to get better as we face a tough football team in STM"

That matchup between two talented rosters will take place at Burnaby Lakes at 7:30 next Friday.
