"The onus is going to be on us to be fundamentally sound,"

With one of the country's top running backs at their disposal and a supporting cast of ex-CIS players, the Westshore Rebels have suddenly become a power in the B.C. Football Conference.

On Saturday, the defending champion Okanagan Sun (2-0) will look to defuse Jamel Lyles and the Rebels (2-0) as the BCFC's two remaining unbeaten teams square off at the Apple Bowl. Kick off is 7 p.m.

Lyles, a B.C. native who played last season with the University of Manitoba Bisons, has 338 yards rushing, a 7.9 yard average and three major scores in Westshore's first two games.
