Ethan, a receiver, had six receptions in the championship game, including two catches for touchdowns! Way to Go, Ethan! In tonight's final game of the championship series, Austen Gallant and his Fort Garry Lions take on the Transcona Nationals at 7:00 pm at IG field. Austen plays offensive line for the Lions.
