Sun remains unbeaten with win over rival Rams

Okanagan has big third quarter en route to win over defending BCFC champs

The Okanagan Sun exacted a measure of revenge with a 32-13 victory over the Langley Rams in B.C. Football Conference action Saturday night at the Apple Bowl.

It was the first meeting between the clubs since the Rams knocked off the Sun 23-19 in the Cullen Cup conference final last October in Kelowna.

In what began as a defensive battle, Langley led 6-3 at the half.

But the Sun, behind the quarterbacking of Josiah Joseph and running of Dillon Fortune, erupted for 21 points in the third quarter to take control of the game.

Fortune finished off two of the drives with touchdown runs of five and one yard, while Joseph connected with Lerone Robinson for an 18-yard TD pass.

Fortune scored his third major of the game in the fourth quarter on an 18-yard run and finished the night with 65 yards rushing on 13 carries.

Kyle Kawamoto caught seven passes for 131 yards to pace the Sun offence.

Defensively, the Sun held the Rams to 89 yards on the ground and 83 through the air.

Matt McConnell led the defence with five tackles and an interception.

The unbeaten Sun (4-0) returns to action Saturday when the Valley Huskers (0-4) visit the Apple Bowl.

Okanagan won the first meeting of the season in Chilliwack 64-0.
