British Columbia faced-off against Ontario West in the bronze medal game at the 2011 Football Canada Cup from Lethbridge, Alberta.
The game began with a short B.C. opening kick-off which was recovered by Dmytro Povalyaev but B.C. was unable to capitalize on the recovery. A 42-yard punt single by Clark Green got Ontario West out to an early 1-0 lead.
On the final play of the opening quarter, B.C. quarterback Jordan Deverill connected with receiver Michael Carney on a 91-yard reception to set up a first and goal at the 7-yard line. Michael Carney shifted over to quarterback to replace shaken-up starter, Jordan Deverill– running the ball in on a QB sneak for the touchdown, putting B.C. up 7-1.
B.C. widened their lead 14-1 on a 5-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Deverill to running back Mason Swift. The score was set-up by a 45-yard screen pass to Terrell Davis. Deverill finished the afternoon completing 6 of 9 passes for 163 yards.
One of the bright spots for Ontario West was running back Jordan Clout who ran for 117 yards on 21 carries. Ontario West also received strong games from their defensive front seven including lineman Zach Mallough and Ryan Correia who battled hard to contain B.C. running backs’ Terrell Davis and Mason Swift.
