For the first time in their four-year history, the Prince George Kodiaks are enjoying the rarefied air that comes with being in a playoff position.
The Kodiaks are now in sole possession of third place in the seven-team BC Football Conference after they topped the Kamloops Broncos 31-12 Saturday in Kamloops.
Now owners of a 3-2 record, the Kodiaks have reached the halfway mark of the BCFC season with a chance to rack up their third straight win this Saturday in Nanaimo, where they meet the Vancouver Island Raiders (2-3, fifth place).
Caiden Crow, Gavin Halvorson, Mathew Sturgess and rookie quarterback James Comstock all found the end zone for the Kodiaks in Kamloops. Brady Harper kicked a 41-yard field goal in the first half to get Prince George on the scoreboard.
The Broncos led 12-10 at halftime.
Saturday’s result marked the second time this season the Kodiaks have beaten the Broncos in Kamloops. They posted a 33-13 triumph at Hillside Stadium on July 26. The Kodiaks will host Kamloops on Saturday, Sept. 27, the final regular season home game at Masich Place Stadium.
Kamloops (0-5) ranks last in the BCFC.
The Kodiaks will be back on home turf on Saturday, Sept. 6 against the Okanagan Sun.
The Sun, 48-7 winners over the Valley Huskers Saturday in Chilliwack, improved their first-place record to 5-0.
