“The kids gutted it out on a day we didn’t play our best,” AKO head coach Mike LaChance said. “It was fun. It’s a very young group that gets better each week.”

AKO rallied from a 20-7 deficit at the half as David Reaume scored with just over two minutes to play to put the Fratmen (6-1) up for good on the Hurricanes (6-2).

“Early on, we made a lot of mistakes on offence with fumbles and dropped passes,” LaChance said. “We put our defence in precarious positions.

“At the half, I reminded the offence who we are and challenged them to play like they are capable. Kudos to the players because they responded and played very well.”
