It was a frustrating season for the Creighton Kodiaks 6 man Football team,  but they found a way to wrap up their season with a win on Friday.

 

Creighton made their way to St Brieux and came from behind to win an exciting game by a score of 43 to 35.

 

The Kodiaks actually trailed 14 to 6 at the half, but started to air the ball out  in the second half and it paid off.

 

Creighton scored with 50 seconds left in the game when Deakon Anaka ran in from the 10 yard line to secure the team's second win of the season.

 

An exciting way to wrap up the season and despite some tough injuries to key players, the Kodiaks found a way to get it done.

 

Kodiaks Quarterback Ryan Grunerud threw three touchdown passes in the second half to Deagon Long, Deakon Anaka and Matthew Lavis, and ran in a touchdown himself from the goal line and kicked three converts.

 

Head Coach Ryan Karakochuk sums up the win and the season. " Our goal was to go down there and get a win and end on a good note and that is what we did. It didn't start easy,  but the guys rallied especially around Matthew Lavis and Deagon Long who are grade 12's who both had a great game. It was really satisfying when they were marching with just seconds left and their receiver caught the ball , one of our guys swept it out of his hands and the ball hit the ground. That is one of the loudest cheers I have heard from our players and bench in a long time and we had a lot of fans come down and help cheer us on. It was great to see all the parents there and a really good way to end the season."

 

The Kodiaks will end the season at 2-4 with both of their wins coming against St Brieux and Head Coach Ryan Karakochuk wants to thank all his players, coach's , parents and volunteers for their hard work and commitment throughout this season.

 

Plans are now underway for the year end banquet and a date will be announced soon.
