The Catch - Photo Story

Photos and Text by Robert Thomas

There were plenty of good plays on Saturday as three games were held in the Kinsmen Moose Jaw Minor Football League action on Saturday.

But the greatest play of the day happened in the U14 matchup between the Moose Jaw Raiders and the Estevan Oilers.

In the first quarter leading 6 - 0 Raiders quarterback Traeten Potvin aired a deep pass to Calum Seargeant who had a one step advantage Oilers defender Faber Nash.

The pass would result in by far the prettiest play of the weekend.

We will let the pictures tell the story.
