In a fantastic back-and-forth football game, the team that scored last won.

The Westshore Rebels scored a game-winning touchdown with 23 seconds left to defeat the Vancouver Island Raiders 34-29 in the playoffs Saturday night in Victoria. There were six lead changes in the second half.

“Very, very disappointed,” said Jerome Erdman, Raiders coach. “It was in our grasp, and you know what? We just didn’t finish them off. We had the opportunity.”
