CJFL Players of the Week
Outstanding Offensive Player of the Week
Nate Cote – Quarterback – Victoria Rebels
This week was the toughest decision in years on who was more deserving of the offensive award, the Quarterback or the Receiver. Rebels QB, Nate Cote, had a record breaking day completing 20 of 31 passes for 443 yards and setting a new BCFC record with 8 TD passes in a single game, beating the old record of 7 from back in 1995.
Outstanding Defensive Player of the Week
Mitch Friesen – Defensive Back – Saskatoon Hilltops
Holding off one of the most powerful offenses in the conference is no easy task, but with the help of Mitch Friesen, the Saskatoon Hilltops did
enough take a point out of Edmonton. Friesen was the top defender in a very defensive battle that accumulated him 7 solo tackles and an interception for a total of 18 defensive points.
Outstanding Special Team Player of the Week
Tony Testa – Kicker & Returner – St Leonard Cougars
Tony was the leading scorer with 17 points as the St Leonard Cougars defeated the Windsor AKO Fratmen 38-1 at their home stadium. This is
Tony’s second weekly award in 2007, last week he captured the offensive award. He returned 3 punts for a total of 112 yards. His longest was a 100
yarder for a TD. He returned 2 kick offs another 39 yards, the longest was 22 yards. On the other side the third year veteran was good from 29 yards
for a field goal while being good on 4 of his 5 convert attempts. For good measure at slot back he caught three passes for 24 yards.
