Westgate, led by two touchdowns apiece from Lance Basalyga and Hudson VanDyk, downed the winless Hammarskjold Vikings 42-0 in Friday night's semfinal.
THUNDER BAY – It took the Westgate Tigers offence a quarter to get going, but once it did, it was lights out for the Hammarskjold Vikings.
“We just had to come out, dial ourselves in and start trying, I guess,” said the Tigers back, pressed into extra duty when VanDyk was sidelined of a large chunk of the game, nursing an injury. VanDyk barrelled ahead for an 18-yard gain, then took it 17 yards up the middle, barely touched, for the major and a 10-0 Tigers lead.
Late in the third, the Tigers up 26-0, Ubida Shasho burst free for a 55-yard run before being tacked on the Westgate three-yar-line. Main was stuffed on back-to-back keepers and Shasho lost two yards on the third-down play, handing the ball back to Westgate.
