The Westshore Rebels opened the sa国际传媒 Football Conference junior season in dramatic fashion Saturday with a victory in Chilliwack over the Valley Huskers.

Quarterback Colby Henkel hit receiver Brycen Mayoh deep in the end zone for a converted touchdown with 2:20 remaining to give the Rebels a 21-20 victory. The Rebels had been trailing 20-7 when Zach Lubin ran in for a touchdown to pull Westshore to within six points with 5:09 remaining.
