West and the Aviators were looking to come out champions on Saturday.

After lightning delay both teams finally took the field, West scored first and held the lead through the first half.

Aviators scored on a penalty awarded to them and tied the game. Game was close as both created opportunities until the Aviators scored in OT.

Unfortunately West could not score with some chances they created.

" It was unfortunate we feel short of being champs, we played well but at the end you have to score to win."

" Even though we fell short we achieved so much as a team and a program, I am proud of these boys."

Coach Hugo
