After the South took a 3-0 lead in the first quarter, Litzenberger scored the first game’s first touchdown after hauling in a pass and taking it 42 yards to the house. Later in the half, the South regained the lead with a touchdown of their own to go up 11-7, before Litzenberger nailed a field goal with 26 seconds left in the second quarter to make it a one-point game at halftime.

Things were clicking for the North in the second half, as the offence couldn’t stop scoring and the defence didn’t let anything get by them.

With the North now up 20-11 late in the third quarter, Litzenberger nailed a 23-yard field goal, his second of the afternoon, to extend the lead before Saskatoon Holy Cross’ Treyon White caught a pick-six on the South’s very next offensive possession. St. Mary’s Dube also got in on the fun, snagging an interception over midfield to give the South their third of the quarter.

Now 37-11 with 25 seconds left in the game, Carlton’s Morrison added some more salt to the wound with a short three-yard touchdown run for his first and only score of the game, making the final score 44-11 for the North.

Aside from Saskatoon and Prince Albert, many other communities were represented in the Senior Bowl with Team North with athletes from North Battleford, Humboldt, Meadow Lake and Melfort.
