The story of the game came down to costly turnovers for the Rebels, who couldn’t seem to get their offence clicking at any point in the game. The Raiders made the Rebels pay for their mistakes, as quarterback Jake Laberge got the offence going early, and his two touchdown passes in the first half were enough to seal the deal, and give the Raiders the Cullen Cup win.
