CORBY COLLECTS RECORD THREE TDs AS EAST BEATS WEST 29-21
Doug Corby of the Queen's Gaels set a CIS East West Bowl record with three touchdown receptions as the East defeated the West 29-21 in a spirited affair at Percival Molson Memorial Stadium, Saturday.
It was the fifth victory in six meetings for the East, which improved to 6-7 overall in the annual Canadian Football League prospects game, which showcases – for the most part – CIS players who will be eligible for the following year's CFL draft.
The East led from start to finish, holding an 87 edge after the opening quarter, which they improved to 157 at the half and 2221 after three quarters. "In a game like this, you don't want to put too much pressure on yourself but at the same time you know people are watching," said Corby, a 6foot2, 195pound arts and science student who had 33 catches for 487 yards and four touchdowns in seven league contests last fall in his third season with Queen's. "It was a fun game and a fun week to be a part of. There were a lot of great players here this week and I'm happy I was able to have a solid performance today."
Corby, a native of Burlington, Ont., snared four passes for a gamehigh 131 yards. He opened the scoring with a 63yard TD toss from quarterback Brandon Leyh at 4:31
of the first quarter. Corby put his side up 2214 with a sevenyard TD reception from Drew Burko midway through the third quarter and completed his TD hattrick with a 50yard reception from Leyh at 9:43 of the final stanza. Corby and Laval linebacker Michael Langlois of Amos, Que., were selected as the Adidas offensive and defensive players of the game for the East. Alberta Golden Bears receiver Jimmy Ralph of Raymond, Alta., and Guelph linebacker Curtis Newton of London, Ont., received similar honours for the West.
"I was very impressed with the execution on both sides of the ball, for both teams," said East head coach Danny Maciocia, who last November led his Montreal Carabins to the first Vanier Cup title in program history at Molson Stadium. "Hats off to the players but also the coaches for producing such a quality game despite the short preparation time." His West counterpart, Brian Dobie from the University of Manitoba, echoed Maciocia's comments. "I thought we put on a good show. It was an entertaining game for the fans, back and forth. Both teams played very well," said Dobie, who had previously coach the West squad at the EastWest Bowl in 2008. "Overall, McGill put together a great week. This is all about the players, and I think all of them had a great experience."
All four quarterbacks who saw action passed for at least one TD and none of them were picked off. The most productive was Burko, who plays for the Saskatchewan Huskies but suitedup for the East side, led all pivots with game highs in attempts (16), completions (13) and yards (180), tying the EWB record for most touchdown passes (2).
Leyh, a native of Westminster, B.C., who plays for Mt. Allison, passed for 153 yards, going 6 for 12.
Llevi Noel of the Toronto Varsity Blues, was the only other receiver to reach the century mark, with 127 yards on six receptions. Rounding out the scoring for the East was Blues running back Lukas Gavac of Mississauga, Ont., whose nineyard run gave his side a 157 advantage just nine seconds into the second quarter. Aside from Ralph, the only player from the West to hit paydirt was McMaster running back Wayne Moore, who scampered for 86 yards on 11 carries, including a 19yard TD run at 8:52 of the second quarter, which narrowed the gap to 87. Calgary defensive back Elie Bouka of Laval, Que., led all tacklers with seven tackles, to go along with a forced fumble.
GAME NOTES: The East West Bowl showcases CIS players who will be eligible for the following year's CFL Canadian draft. The East side is comprised – for the most part of studentathletes representing schools from the Atlantic and Quebec conferences, as well as Queen's, Ottawa, Carleton and Toronto. The West contingent is made up of standouts from Canada West and the remaining OUA universities. McGill was hosting the weeklong event for the first time, taking over from Western University,
which hosted the previous six editions in London, Ont. The event has also been held at McMaster (2008), Laval (2007, 2006) and Wilfrid Laurier (2005, 2004, 2003).
