Seven members of the Okanagan Sun have been named all-Canadians including five first-team all-Canadians.

The group is led by running back Elelyon Noa and linebacker Jacob Bond who are also up for CJFL offensive and defensive player of the year respectively.

Noa was the top rusher in the nation, running for a BC Football Conference record 1,612 yards and 23 touchdowns while Bond amassed 49 tackles, recovered two fumbles and had an interception.

Joining them on the first all-Canadian team are offensive lineman Kaiden Kerntopf, defensive back Ahmed Borhot who led the nation with eight interceptions and kicker Grady Hay who averaged 38.15 yards per punt during the regular season.

Offensive lineman Michael Astone and defensive back Kenley Williams, who intercepted five passes during the regular season, were named to the second team.

The St. Clair College Saints, who will face the Sun in Saturday’s Canadian Bowl, led the way with nine total all-Canadians, including five on the first team.

Saturday’s Canadian Bowl begins at 4 p.m. Pacific Time Saturday from Windsor.
