After three consecutive eight-loss seasons, the Westshore Rebels have managed to flip those defeats over to the win column, their 8-1-1 record good enough to place them first overall in the B.C. Football Conference for the first time in team history.

Their quest to take this remarkable turnaround one step further and into the Canadian Bowl will begin on Saturday (Oct. 15) against the rival Vancouver Island Raiders.

It was way back on July 30 when the Rebels first served notice to the rest of the conference that they were a force, beating the Raiders for the first time in 25 tries. That historic win served as a launching pad for a season that no one expected, except for those within the Rebels’ organization.
