Regina Thunder quarterback Blake Scherle is looking forward to every completion but one.

“I don’t want this to end,” Scherle, who is in his final season of Prairie Football Conference eligibility, says in advance of Sunday’s semi-final matchup with the Edmonton Huskies (1 p.m., Leibel Field).

“I’m not even thinking about this being my last week. I fully expect us to keep playing, keep moving forward. This has been the funnest year of football I’ve ever played, and it’s the highest level that I’ve been starting at.

“I love it. I love everything about junior football.”

Junior football has loved him back, considering his accomplishments in 2019.

Scherle led the league in passing yards (2,196) even though the regular-season finale was cancelled because the Winnipeg Rifles were unable to travel to Regina on the weekend due to poor weather conditions.

Despite playing in only seven games, Scherle also threw 17 touchdown passes to finish in a tie for the lead with Tyler Hermann of the Saskatoon Hilltops.
