Team B.C. put its cards on the table a couple of weeks ago in Las Vegas, and came away with the winning hand.
The provincial under-18 football team ventured to the Nevada hotspot and came away with a 23-20 win over Team Vegas USA Varsity in the inaugural High Roller Showdown game.
South Delta secondary running back Stefanos Goulas scored a key third quarter touchdown to give B.C. the victory in a game they never trailed.
Quarterback Cole Theobald, of Argyle, scored the game’s opening major en route to being named the Game MVP.
Also scoring for B.C. was Mt. Boucherie receiver Spencer Schmidt.
B.C.’s lineup also included defensive secondary and Burnaby native Adam Turrin, who wrapped up his high school career this past season with the Notre Dame Jugglers.
B.C.’s under-16 squad rebounded from its lone loss to finish the tournament on a winning note, topping the San Jose Hitsquad 28-0.
Contributing majors were quarterback Ben Robsin of Ballenas, Evan Currie of Handsworth, Matthew Klak and Kyle Zakala, both of Kelowna-Mission.
