North Wins 2002 Senior Bowl
On paper this year's Alberta Senior Bowl was decided before the game was played.Team South rolled into town with a very impressive roster,hoping to put it together on the field Monday .The North squad had something to say about it,as they out-hustled and used their team speed to defeat the South by a final score of 25-13 before a crowd of 1,435 at Foote Field.The North jumped out to a 7-3 lead on a 90 yard TD run by former Ram and Archbishop
Jordan quarterback Jay Meraw ,the second longest run from scrimmage in Senior Bowl history.The south battled back to trail by a single point when another former Ram and Jordan player Adam Skitsko returned a 25 yard interception for a touchdown,sealing the victory for Team North.It was a special feeling for Skitsko after missing all of last year with a knee injury.Team North's Scott Schriver was named the most valuable lineman for Team North. Scott played for the Rams in 1997 and just completed a Provincial winning season with the Ardrossan Bison's.The Rams would also like to congratulate all the other players and coaches from the area for a job well done.Congrats to coach Paul Schwartz , Pete Lavorato , Dan Bass and others for a wonderful game.
