aturday night's Raiders versus Rebels semi-final game was an instant classic on the field, but much of the post-game conversation was about an incident off it.

Westshore beat V.I. 34-29 thanks to a touchdown from all-star running back Jamel Lyles with just 23 seconds remaining on the clock at Westhills Stadium in Langford. That game-winning drive came not long after Raiders' rookie quarterback Jake Laberge was pelted in the face with a cold cup of coffee while he stood on the sidelines.
