It was a long, hard battle to the very end, but the Alberta team for the Young Stars Division of the ABC Bowl were defeated 51-14 by British Columbia.

The Foothills was well represented at the game by Running Back and Slot Back Isaac Holunga, and Offensive Lineman, Defensive End and Full Back Westley Johnson.

Isaac Holunga's mother, Tammy Holunga says while Isaac was dissapointed he wasn't given many opportunities with the ball and blocked most of the game, he was still very effective at getting good yards when he carried the ball.

She adds Westley would have loved a win, but had an amazing game either way and was very effective making tackles for defence.

Holunga shares the experience was wonderful for the two young men, who now look forward to another opportunity in 2018 to play again in the ABC Bowl, but for the Future Stars division.
