PFC Week 9 In Review 2009 PFC AWARDS PRESENTATION The 2009 PFC Award Winners were named & All-Star Selections were announced Saturday evening in Saskatoon. Full Story That's using your head; Hilltops advance in PFC playoffs Steve Grenier led the Saskatoon Hilltops to a playoff win Sunday over Regina. The Saskatoon Hilltops don't have an off-the-helmet bank pass in their playbook. They turned one into a touchdown Sunday, though. Full Story REGINA THUNDER (5-3) AT SASKATOON HILLTOPS (7-1) 2PM KICKOFF Every time the provincial rivals square off, it's undoubtedly a hotly contested matchup & the Thunder & Hilltops served up a pair of close regular season tilts. Regina winning 26-23 at home on August 15th & the Hilltops gaining revenge & the regular season Shrine Bowl prize, emblematic of the season series with an 18-14 win on September 12th. But the only prize up for grabs in Sunday's 2nd semi-final is a berth in the PFC Championship Game. The Thunder will have Wyatt Catley at pivot on Sunday as starter Reid Quest tore his MCL in the home loss to the Wildcats. Catley ravaged the Winnipeg defense for 396 yards in his team's 48-20 win last Sunday & has a trio of top 10 receivers in Kolten Solomon, Jay Smith & Camille Lagimodiere. The three combined for nearly 1800 yards & 14 touchdowns on the year. Brennan Kasbrick is the tailback, placing 5th with 324 yards.  Regina owns the 2nd stingiest defense in the PFC, only surrendering 157 points, 23 points more than the Hilltops. That defense is led by Landon Perra who finished 3rd in the Defensive Points standings.  The 7-1 Hilltops just might be at long last putting it all together, which would relieve Head Coach Tom Sargent to no end as he's seen his club struggle mightily at times this season but came together in the nick of time to down Calgary. Chase Bradshaw will be making his 3rd start of the year, coming off a 267-yard, 5 TD performance against the Colts. Mitch Stevens will be his prime target.  Regan Schuler, the conference rushing champion, will attempt to follow up his 191-yard effort. On defense, Corbin Eskelson has come on very strong in the closing weeks of the campaign, edging out teammate Craig Albert in the DPTS category. Albert placed 2nd in the conference with 9.5 sacks. Graig Newman contributed a combined 40 tackles (22 solos & 18 assists) & a pair of interceptions. Thunder players, coaches, staff and fans, The time for Sunday's playoff game vs. the Saskatoon Hilltops has been changed to 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 11. A reminder that the game vs the Huskies will be aired on Wednesday, Oct. 7th @ 9:00 p.m. A big thank you to everyone that helped out on game days.  We had a great season on and off the field.

In Sunday’s 38-18 road win in Regina, he returned a punt 92 yards for a major score, moving into 4th in the PFC in punt return yards with 217, only 39 behind teammate David Berg.

Full Story On the surface, the Regina Thunder defence doesn't look a whole lot different from the 2008 edition. There have been a few personnel changes, but after losing five starters from a year ago, one would think the Thunder defence would take a turn for the worse. Full Story Regina Thunder linebacker Landon Perra is the defensive player of the week in the PFC.Perra had seven tackles, two assists, one sack, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one interception in Regina's 18-14 loss to the Saskatoon Hilltops on Saturday.

OFFENSE- KOLTEN SOLOMON, REGINA THUNDER http://vidswap.com/my/embed/1996 Solomon joined the Thunder this season after spending some time playing university ball and is a large reason why the Thunder are in the midst of a race for 1st place. In Sunday’s 38-7 home field drubbing of the winless Edmonton Huskies, Solomon had 5 catches for an amazing 185 yards and a pair of majors that came 69 seconds apart in the 2nd quarter. Reid Quest hooked up with Solomon on 37 & 87-yard passes in that time span. Solomon now has 24 grabs on the season for 411 yards with 3 TD’S. Solomon is a product of Sheldon Williams Collegiate. DEFENSE- DYLAN KEMP, SASKATOON HILLTOPS http://vidswap.com/my/embed/1997 The defending PFC Champions have had the injury bug take some big bites out of their lineup in the early going of 2009, but those who’ve filled the gaps have more than stepped up. Dylan Kemp is a prime example. In their 18-16 Sunday win in Winnipeg, Kemp, making his 1st PFC start rattled off 4 Tackles, 4 Assists, a pair of special team stops, a quarterback sack & a pass knockdown for 19 DPTS. SPECIAL TEAMS- JOHN SZILAGYI, WINNIPEG RIFLES http://vidswap.com/my/embed/badge/user/1949 The Rifles punter/place-kicker repeated his 3 field-goal performance from the previous week in their home loss to Saskatoon on Sunday. The 3rd year Rifleman went toe-to-toe with arguably the best placekicker in the conference with Chris Bodnar of the Hilltops who went 2 for 3 on the day, missing a 2nd quarter attempt. Szilagyi has also boosted his punting average on the season, now at 40.7 yards/punt. Thunder rolls over Huskies Big plays helping Regina enjoy enviable start to the season. Regina Thunder players had been waiting a year for the kind of defensive success they are having against the Edmonton Huskies this season. Full Story Solomon nicely picked up the slack With slotback Jeff Bolen likely out for the season with torn knee ligaments, Regina Thunder quarterback Reid Quest had to find a new target that could get close to the 200-yard mark in a game. Full Story Thunder getting bang for its buck with Todd Joey Todd is following in his family's footsteps, only most of the fireworks he produces are on the football field.

Coaches for the camp will comprise members from the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Regina Thunder. Players ages eight to 18 are invited to attend. For more information call 751-2411.

At the outset of the Prairie Football Conference season, the Regina Thunder head coach noted that the league could be a four-horse race to the finish line. Full Story Linbackers Working Together There’s nothing like family in times of need. Times like when a 200-pound running back is building up a head of steam toward the secondary. That’s when Regina Thunder linebackers Travis Junior, Tyler Hogan and Philmon Bairu are glad to have one another around. Full Story Calgary Colts will be looking to make it two wins in a row, when they host the Regina Thunder in Prairie Football Conference action at McMahon Stadium on Sunday afternoon. 1:00 is game time. Colts are 1-and-1 on the season, after winning their home-opener last Sunday at McMahon, beating the Edmonton Huskies 36-21. The Thunder, who missed the playoffs a year ago, are off to a quick 2-and-0 start this year, including a 26-23 upset win over the defending league champion Saskatoon Hilltops on Saturday night. The Thunder are led by quarterback Reid Quest, the offensive player of the week in the PFC. Quest threw for 492 yards in the Thunder's win over the Hilltops. According to Colts G.M. Keith Evans, Quest is an imposing figure in the Regina backfield, with an incredibly quick release. Couple that with a solid receiving corps to work with, and the Regina passing game will be tough for the Colts defense to deal with. Colts are hopeful to have running back Alan Lichwa back in the lineup this week. Lichwa went down with an ankle injury in the season opener against the Wildcats in Edmonton, though the Colts, led by Cuong Thai Lieu and Jake Harty, still managed to pile up nearly 300 yards along the ground against the Huskies. Lieu had 202 yards on 25 carries, and scored a pair of majors. This is the second of three straight home games for the Colts. They also play at McMahon next Saturday night (August 29th) when they host the Edmonton Wildcats. After that, they get their bye week, followed by three straight on the road.

His 3rd TD toss of the night went to Kolten Solomon with 28 seconds to go and stood up as the winning score. Quest attends the University of Regina. DEFENSE- KOREY JOHNSON, EDMONTON HUSKIES     http://vidswap.com/my/embed/badge/user/1922 The Edmonton Huskies have again struggled coming out of the gate, but the outstanding play of the veteran linebacker has been a highlight. Johnson racked up 9 Defensive Tackles and added 4 Assisted Tackles for a sparkling 23.5 DPTS in the team’s 36-21 road loss to the Calgary Colts SPECIAL TEAMS- CHRIS BODNAR, SASKATOON HILLTOPS http://my.vidswap.com/cbodner The 2nd year 5’11, 195 pound Punter/Kicker would help the Hilltops gain an edge in the field position battle averaging 41.7 yards/punt on 10 punts, one of which went for a 4th quarter single in the Hilltops 26-23 loss in Regina. Bodnar would go 2 for 2 in the field goal department, connecting on 14 & 28 yard attempts. The Sakatoon product is a perfect 5 for 5 in the field goal department. Regina Thunder Weekend Wrap up Aug. 15, 2009 Submitted by Shawn McCall  The Regina Thunder hosted the Saskatoon Hilltops on Saturday night under the lights at Mosaic Stadium. This entertaining game started with the Hilltops jumping out to an early 9-0 lead. The Hilltops then tried a fake punt which was stopped short of a first down. The Thunder proceeded to march down the field to score their first touchdown of the game. Early in the second quarter the Thunder took their first lead of the game with a Jon Probe field goal. The Hilltops came back with a field goal of their own. The Thunder continued to work hard and scored another field goal and a single on a missed field goal as the first half ended 14 - 12 for the Thunder.  The only points of the third quarter were a Saskatoon field goal which gave them the lead going into the last 15 minutes. The Hilltops managed another touchdown before the comeback began. Down 22 -14 Reid Quest hit Jeff Bolen on a short route which turned into a long 52 yard TD run. The two point covert was unsuccessful leaving the home team two points behind 22 - 20. Saskatoon then kicked a single before Regina's final drive was capped off with a third and 3 from about the 7 yard line, a pass from Quest to Solomon. The convert was unsuccessful so the score was 26 -23. Regina's interception with 3 seconds left in the game preserved the win. Quarterback Reid Quest threw for 492 yards, going 36 for 51 and added 26 yards rushing. The leading rusher for the Thunder was Mark Coons with 12 carries for 47 yards. Jeff Bolen had 13 catches for 205 yards with two touchdowns. Kolten Solomon had 11 catches for 132 yards and 1 touchdown. The defense was lead by Landon Perra with 8 tackles and 1 assist, while Cody Johnstone had the Thunder's only interception. The Thunder's next game is in Calgary on August 23 at 1:00 p.m. and then returns home for a rematch with the Edmonton Huskies on Sunday, August 30, @ 1:00 at Mosaic Stadium. The edge of Kolten Solomon's seat can get a rest today. On Sunday, Solomon had to sit and wait to hear the outcome of the game between his new team, the Regina Thunder, and the host Edmonton Huskies. Full Story To watch Reid Quest in 2009, one almost wouldn't think he was the same quarterback that stumbled into the Regina Thunder's starting job a year ago. Full Story Steven Arens was glad he didn't miss that one. For the first time in his five-year Prairie Football Conference career, Arens and the Regina Thunder beat the Saskatoon Hilltops with a 26-23 victory at Mosaic Stadium on Saturday.

PFC PLAYERS OF THE WEEK AUGUST 8 & 9 OFFENSE- JEFF BOLEN, REGINA THUNDER Sunday's 51-11 Thunder win over the Edmonton Huskies could have been called The Jeff Bolen Show as the versatile WR/K/P single-handedly amassed 29 points, which is the 5th highest single game individual total in PFC history. The mix included 3 TD'S, 2 FG'S, 4 converts as well as a single on a missed field goal. Bolen led all receivers with 9 grabs for 146 yards.

OFFENSE- JEFF BOLEN, REGINA THUNDER http://vidswap.com/my/embed/badge/user/1907 DEFENSE- CRAIG ALBERT, SASKATOON HILLTOPS  Albert was a big part of a Hilltops defense that hurried, harried & limited Winnipeg Rifles Quarterbacks Tyler Nickel & Tyler Johnston to a mere 114 yards passing on the day. Sealing a 44-21 victory over the Rifles by picking up a fumble & rumbling 78 yards for the clinching touchdown. The 6'3" 345 pound Moose Jaw native in his 2nd season with the PFC Champions also had 6 Assisted Tackles and racked up 13 Defensive Points. SPECIAL TEAMS- DAVID BERG, EDMONTON WILDCATS The sophomore Wildcat Defensive Back had a frustrating 1st half as punt returns of 50 & 100 yards were nullified by penalties. The third time, as the saying goes, was the charm for the 5'7" product of Harry Ainley High School as Berg ran 64 yards to tie the Saturday night season opener against the Calgary Colts at 14 apiece. Berg would return 6 for 111 yards in the Wildcats 35-21 upset of the Calgary Colts at Clarke Park. Bolen a real leader Jeff Bolen is a changed man.Now in his fifth season with the Regina Thunder, the normally quiet kicker/receiver has found his voice with the Prairie Football Conference team Full Story Huskies hammered There were clear skies over Clarke Park yesterday, but the Regina Thunder rained down the touchdowns in a lopsided 51-11 victory over the Edmonton Huskies.

Full Story Teams rebuild in turnover year It's a safe year to rebuild in the Prairie Football Conference.It seems nearly every one of the six teams in the junior football league lost a star or two in the offseason. In fact, of the 11 players who won individual awards last season, nine have either graduated from the junior ranks or moved on to a university team. Another two players from 2008 rosters (Dan Clark of the Regina Thunder and Kevin Wuthrich of the Edmonton Wildcats) cracked CFL practice rosters. Full Story REGINA THUNDER 51 vs EDMONTON HUSKIES 11 The 2009 season opener for the Edmonton Huskies turned out to be a continuation of the nightmare that was 2008 as the Regina Thunder rolled to the most decisive win of the PFC's opening week. Regina's Jeff Bolen would have a busy and productive day, starting with a 44 yard field goal that came from a 4 play, 23 yard drive. A conceded safety gave the Thunder a 5-0 lead after one quarter. The homestanding Huskies took a 7-5 lead as Tylor Johnson took in a 10 yard TD pass from Kevin Allen, putting the finishing touches on a 3 play, 23 yard drive. But the Thunder regained the lead for good as Reid Quest connected with Bolen on a 23 yard TD strike. Quest then dove into the end zone from a yard out. And then Bolen collected his 2nd major on an 11 yard grab. 26-7 Thunder at halftime. Bolen would account for the only 4 points of the 3rd, making a field goal from 22 yards out and missing on a 37 yard attempt for a 30-7 lead going into the 4th & final. The Huskies would get 2 safeties, but the Thunder would tack on a trio of majors as Thomas Ringlen scored from a yard out with Bolen adding his 29th point of the afternoon.

Rosanne McCall VP of Communications Regina Thunder Junior Football Club It's decision time for Regina Thunder coaches With a very brief exhibition season behind them, Regina Thunder coaches have some decision to make. Full Story New Football Officials Needed The RFOA is looking for new officials for the 2009 season. If your playing career is completed and you want to stay involved in the sport, but your time is too limited to coach, you may want to consider officiating. The RFOA currently provides officials for all levels of amateur football in and around Regina, as well as minor officials for Rider games. Several members past and present have gone on to become CFL officials as well. Two events are upcoming that will be of interest. On Tuesday, August 11th at 7 pm, the RFOA will be having a Rules Review and Discussion evening. It provides our returning officials with a refresher and an opportunity to get prepared for the season that starts in August. The meeting will be held in the Board Room of Access Communications at Park & Arcola. Go through the north service entrance to gain access. A Level 1 Officiating clinic is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, August 15th. Introduction to the philosophy, mechanics and positions will be provided by certified instructors. A fee will be charged. Further details as to location and time will be provided for this all day session. The RFOA offers mentoring programs, as well as access to equipment for new officials to help get started with officiating . Contact details can be found on the RFOA webpage at www.rfoa.ca, or by calling Ron Barss at 775-0946 or emailing ron.barss@sasktel.net The Regina Thunder  finished the 2008 season with  2-5-1  record  tied for 4th  in the PF.  They missed the playoffs but are determined to turn things around this season.

The average age of the starters will be older then the last couple of years. With this experience they feel that the team should be very competitive and that some of the new players to the team will be making significant contributions by the end of the season. Amyotte takes leadership role All of a sudden, Max Amyotte is the oldtimer on the Regina Thunder defensive line. He turns 20 in September. While not exactly old, the fact that Amyotte is in his third season with the Prairie Football Conference team makes him the most-senior member of the Thunder’s defensive front.

Thunder Families,

Once again the Regina Thunder Junior Football Team has been asked to sell Game Day Programs (INSIDE GREEN) at Rider Home Games!  This is a great opportunity for us to build our reputation in the community and highlight our team members.  The programs not only promote the Riders but also local football programs in our community.  Watch for a Thunder player profiled in each new game day program!

In order for this activity to run effectively we need your help.  Each Rider home game requires 20 program sellers.   Therefore each player is requested to sign up for 4 spots on the sign up sheet in the clubhouse.  When a player works 4 Rider games or has a family representative there and each sells a minimum of 10 programs, the player will be eligible for a $50.00 credit towards the 2009 season team fees.  (If a player and 3 family members can all come to one game and each sells the minimum of 10 programs, that player has fulfilled the requirement for the $50.00 credit!)

INSIDE GREEN sellers are asked to arrive at Mosaic Stadium, inside GATE A, no later than 2  hours before game time.  (If the game begins at 7:00 p.m. sellers must be there by 5:00 p.m.)  This allows workers to sign in, receive their wristbands, get their floats, collect their programs and go to the designated spot outside the stadium.  (Some sellers will be required to sell programs inside the main gates as well.)   In addition to helping out the team, each worker will receive a wristband that will allow them to get into the game for free!!!!  With sellouts in 3 games already predicted, you will want to sign up soon to ensure you see the Riders repeat as GREY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!

The contact person for this activity is RICK JUNIOR.  If you have not signed up at the clubhouse and are interested in working this FRIDAY, JUNE 13 please contact Rick by Thursday.  dbl_doodle228@hotmail.com   924-2012

Throughout the season if you need more information or would like to sign up please contact RICK JUNIOR.  As well, if you have signed up for a game and are not able to make it contact Rick ASAP so he can find a replacement.  If you are able to fill in on short notice, please send an email to Rick so he can put you on his emergency contact list.
