The 6-0 St. Thomas More Knights all but locked up first place in the B.C. high school Grade 8 football AAA conference following a 27-14 win over Lord Tweedsmuir at Burnaby Lake-West on Tuesday.
Singfred Yano ran 80 yards for a STM touchdown and Nico DiPauli accounted for the Knights’ three other scores before Tweedsmuir responded with two late TDs.
Middle linebacker Joel Pielak and defensive end Tyler Eckert, with three sacks, led a tough STM D that has given up less than a converted touchdown per game all season.
“The defence has been our backbone,” said STM head coach Vince Flamia. “We’re sitting in a good spot right now.”
