The last-place Valley Huskers helped the Langley Rams get their game back on track.
One week after being held to a season-low 10 points, the Rams junior football team got back into the win column, running at will over the winless Huskers squad.
Langley rushed the ball for 223 yards and scored three touchdowns along the ground in a 46-7 victory on Saturday night at McLeod Athletic Park.
Langley scored all their points prior to halftime.
The win improved the Rams to 5-2 and a share of second-place in the B.C. Football Conference with the Kamloops Broncos.
Nathan Lund had 88 yards rushing and two scores and Jordan Traversy rushed for 52 yards and one touchdown.
Daniel English caught a touchdown pass from Jordan McCarty and English finished with 124 yards on five receptions. Malcolm Williams was McCarty’s other favourite target, hauling in four passes for 80 yards as the quarterback finished 9-for-17 for 204 yards. He also threw one pick.
And the Rams other touchdown came via special teams as John Beckerleg took a punt 69 yards for the score.
Steve Thomas was perfect in the kicking game, hitting all three field goal attempts (37 yards, 17 yards and 32 yards) and nailed all five convert attempts.
Thomas was named the league’s special teams player of the week, the third time this season he has earned the honour.
Steven Martinez, Dennis Olivera and Jarren Ralf had three tackles apiece.
