The British Columbia Football Conference has a new all-time single season rushing record holder and his name is Jamel Lyles.

The Westshore Rebels running back passed vaunted Canadian football names such as Andrew Harris and Greg Morris - a former Rebel - before finally topping the 1,592 yards put up by Valley Huskers rusher Matt Medwick in the 2000 season. He set the new standard with a 16 yard dash midway through the fourth quarter and his mark now stands at an unofficial 1,604 yards following a 158 yard effort Saturday night.
