He's a big guy, a good player and I'm proud of him

Close friends since childhood, James Harney and Tyson Thompson were in an unfamiliar position during Saturday night's B.C. Football Conference game at the Apple Bowl—they were wearing different uniforms.

Harney, a defensive lineman with the Okanagan Sun, and Thompson, an offensive lineman with Westshore Rebels, played seven seasons of minor football together in their hometown of Squamish.

The two were teammates again for one season of high school ball at Howe Sound, then spent both the 2014 and 2015 seasons together at Bishop's University in Quebec.
