BCJFC expansion team now preparing for inaugural home game against Kamloops, Aug. 6
Opening-game jitters now out of the way, the Prince George Kodiaks junior football team can take what they learned Saturday in a 31-5 loss to the Valley Huskers and use that experience to be that much better prepared when they get set to make more Prince George sports history on Aug. 6.
The 18-year-old Oczkowski, a six-foot-five, 210-pound graduate of All Saints High School in Calgary, was replaced by fellow Calgary product Sam Sabine, 18, who played the rest of the game and was under constant siege. “As soon as came in they brought even more pressure than they had been bringing earlier and for him it was a lot of trial by fire.”
A 79-yard strike from Oczkowski to wide receiver Andrew Brown, of Saltcoats, Sask., pinned the Huskers deep in their own territory. The Kodiaks’ drive stalled, resulting in a turnover on downs, and that led to the two-point safety in the second quarter. Twenty-five players on the Kodiaks 90-player roster list Prince George as their hometown. They’ll resume their workouts at Masich on weekday evenings, starting at 7:30 p.m.
“That’s very exciting for us all, it’s what we’ve been building for and a lot of effort and hard work all through the organization has gone on to get there and we’re really excited to get to showcase it for Prince George,” said Bellamy.
