The Okanagan Sun香蕉视频直播檚 season came to a heartbreaking end last weekend.
Once again, the Sun found themselves up against the top team in the league, the undefeated Langley Rams.
On Oct. 26, the Sun took on the Rams in Langley and despite a lopsided 45-15 loss, the Okanagan football team fought until the bitter end.
香蕉视频直播淥ur guys played pretty hard,香蕉视频直播� said Sun head coach Jamie Boreham.
香蕉视频直播淲e had it at a two-score game and trying to make it close, but they were the team that made the next big play and were able to put the nail in the coffin.
香蕉视频直播淚t was probably one of our more consistent games this year, but we came up short.香蕉视频直播�
The Rams were the BC Football Conference香蕉视频直播檚 top team with 10 straight wins this season.
Langley香蕉视频直播檚 upper hand over the Sun carried over from last year, when the Langley squad handed the Sun a 39-7 playoff defeat.
香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 never OK to lose,香蕉视频直播� said Boreham.
香蕉视频直播淲e knew we were playing a really good team but we played hard though, and this is where we are now.
香蕉视频直播淚t wasn香蕉视频直播檛 the way we wanted it to end, but we were closer at the end than we were at the beginning.香蕉视频直播�

The Sun were a young team this season, with new players and new coaches, Boreham acknowledged.
He hopes that the lumps the team took this year will turn into the building blocks for the future.
There were growing pains over the season with three one-score losses which, if they had gone the Sun香蕉视频直播檚 way, could have painted a different picture in the post-season.
Despite the 香蕉视频直播渋fs香蕉视频直播� and the 香蕉视频直播渂uts,香蕉视频直播� they didn香蕉视频直播檛 win the crucial games and that sealed their fate.
香蕉视频直播淢aybe we could have ended up on a different side of some of the close games, but it doesn香蕉视频直播檛 matter who you play or when you play them. You have to beat the best teams,香蕉视频直播� said Boreham.
Now in the off-season, the Okanagan Sun coaches and management will waste no time prepping for next season.
Reflection, recruiting and injury recovery will be the main focus for the Sun.
Reflection on the year won香蕉视频直播檛 change the pain of defeat, but Boreham hopes a good off-season will lead to a good season next spring.
香蕉视频直播淲e grew a lot,香蕉视频直播� said Boreham.
香蕉视频直播淲e香蕉视频直播檙e a whole lot closer to the team I want us to be. The challenges this year have already helped us grow and we香蕉视频直播檝e turned the page on some of those challenges.香蕉视频直播�
香蕉视频直播淥ur core guys will be a good foundation for success next year.
香蕉视频直播淲e want to be the best team and best culture here and give our guys the best place to play football here and beyond here.香蕉视频直播�
