The Langley Rams defence – specifically their front four – will be looking to turn up the heat on the host V.I. Raiders this Saturday.
The Rams enter the B.C. Football Conference semifinal holding the BCFC record for most sacks in a regular season (46).
Leading the way was the league leaders in sacks, Brock Gowanlock, who had 14.5 quarterback take-downs this season, just 1.5 shy of the all-time record of 16 set in 2013 by the Rams’ Evan Foster.
The Rams and the Raiders will square off at Caledonia Park in Nanaimo, with an opening kickoff of 1 p.m. on Oct. 17.
