Now, heading into the playoffs, the RebelsB次元官网网址� matchup against the fourth seeded Langley Rams this weekend is no different.
B次元官网网址淎t the end of the day for me, itB次元官网网址檚 just about us taking care of business week-in and week-out. ItB次元官网网址檚 a weekly formula [to win],B次元官网网址� Cardilicchia said.

Quarterback Scott Borden had a great season passing for 2,055 yards, completing 126 passes out of 293 and averaging 7.8 yards per attempt. He threw for 16 touchdowns and had four interceptions.

The win over the Sun gives the Rebels home field advantage for the playoffs, including hosting the Cullen Cup if they win SaturdayB次元官网网址檚 playoff game. Now, the team is turning to its next opponent: the Langley Rams, a team the Rebels defeated twice this season.
Cardilicchia said itB次元官网网址檚 all about sticking to the teamB次元官网网址檚 formula: time of possession and the turnover battle.
