In the reverse of the club’s typical 2016 game script, the Westshore Rebels jumped all over the Okanagan Sun early but faded in the game’s latter stages in a defensive 19-15 loss in Kelowna.
The defending Cullen Cup champions – who made a habit of dominating the second half of games in 2016 – were powered by a pair of long passing plays in the early going, eventually taking a 14-0 lead over the Sun by the time the second quarter was a minute old.
