Dragons fall to Titans
Adam Good is a Windsor grad, and now is the quarterback of the BC Dragons.
Tonight they're taking on theQuebec titans, and the Titans not confused at all with the small field, well compared to Canadian football standards.
In the 2nd, coach and QB Geoff Brown completes the throw to Thierry Fontin, who is not touched, and gets up to run some more. All together it's a 45-yard gain, and it would set up this.
The Brown and Fontin connection again, this time for six, it's 7-0Quebec , but don't count out those Dragons.
They're looking to make it three wins in a row, and with plays like this they might be on their way. Good finds Bill Smith for 68-yards, not a TD, he fell at the two.
Two plays later, good nails Dominque Henderson with the fade, sweet grab.
