Game Notes

Game Summary

For both of these teams, this is the biggest game of the regular season. The annual Labour Day match-up between the Stampeders and Eskimos is always a classic that is played in front of a packed house. This years game was no exception as the 6-3 Eskimos gave the 8-1 Stampeders all they could handle. Calgary K Mark McLoughlin got the ball rolling at 9:00 of the opening frame when he booted a 12 yard FG. This accounted for all of the scoring in the first quarter. The Eskimos grabbed the lead at 4:43 of the second quarter when DB Kavis Reed stepped in front of an errant Jeff Garcia pass and returned it 38 yards for the major. K Sean Fleming added the convert to put the Esks up by a 7-3 count. Calgary P Tony Martino would cut that lead to 6 when he put a 46 yard punt into the end zone for a single. Fleming and Calgary K Mark McLoughlin would trade FGs to round out the first half scoring with Edmonton on top by a 10-7 margin. Fleming increased the Edmonton lead to 13-7 at 3:32 of the third quarter when he connected from 31 yards out. After this however, it was all Stampeders. Garcia finally got the offence on track at 9:43 when he executed the quarterback draw perfectly from 7 yards out. McLoughlin added the convert to put the Stamps in front by 1 after three quarters of play. Calgary added to that lead at 0:13 into the final frame when Garcia hooked up with SB Vince Danielsen for a 14 yard receiving TD. The McLoughlin convert made the score 21-13. CB Marvin Coleman sealed the Calgary victory at 8:33 when he picked off a Danny McManus pass and returned it 78 yards for the TD. McLoughlin added his third convert of the game. He rounded out the scoring at 12:26 when he was good from 29 yards out making the final 31-13 in favour of the Stampeders. The Eskimos will have a chance to avenge this loss on home turf when these two teams hook up again this Friday night at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton.
