On a weekend filled with rain and wind, the Okanagan Sun found a way to shine.
The Sun overpowered the Langley Rams 52-10 on Sunday afternoon at McLeod Athletic Park. The B.C. Football Conference game was rescheduled from Saturday night after much of Langley lost power from the storm.
The Rams kept things close in the first half, allowing just 122 yards of offence and trailing 15-0 at the break. And the Langley defence got the team back in the game early in the third quarter when defensive lineman Brock Gowanlock sacked the Sun quarterback, recovered the fumble and raced downfield 40 yards for the touchdown to cut the lead to 15-7.
But any momentum from that was short-lived as Okanagan blocked a Langley punt shortly after, with JP Kalambay recovering the ball in the end zone.
The Langley offence had no answer after that and the Sun put the game out of reach with four touchdown passes from Cam Bedore for the final 52-10 score.
The win improved Okanagan to 6-0 while Langley fell to 3-3 heading into the bye week.
The Sun have allowed just 36 points on the season, and the Rams are responsible for 23 of those.
The Langley offence was held to 146 yards of total offence and only 39 yards along the ground. The Rams also had four turnovers.
Defensively, Langley held the high-powered Sun to 330 yards of offence — Okanagan has averaged 494 yards per game through the first five weeks — but managed just a pair of turnovers.
The defence did come up with four quarterback sacks, with Marcus Brown registering two of those and Gowanlock and Saeed Hosain Ali with the other.
Brown also had a fumble recovery while Ben Sharpe led the team with six tackles.
Next up for Langley is a home game Sept. 12 at McLeod Athletic Park against the Kamloops Broncos (4-2). Game time is 7 p.m.
