With a help from Andrew Kraft blocking, Ben McDonald heads up field during South Delta's provincial quarter-final playoff game earlier this month at B.C. Place Stadium. Both were named to the provincial all-star team.

A pair of South Delta Sun Devils have been named to B.C. High School Football’s 2018 Subway Provincial “AAA” All-Star Team.

Grade 11 Ben McDonald got the nod at quarterback thanks for leading the province in passing with 1,717 yards in seven starts. He also threw for 16 touchdowns.

He is joined by Grade 12 defensive lineman Andrew Kraft who recorded 38 tackles and three quarterback sacks despite being double-teamed much the season.

The Sun Devils saw their season end with a provincial quarter-final loss to Vancouver College at B.C. Place Stadium. McDonald suffered a broken thumb in the second quarter, which all but shutdown South Delta’s usually potent passing game.

Conference rivals Mt Doug and New West will meet in the championship game on Saturday night 7 p.m. at B.C. Place.
