His team had just gotten up 8-0 when Bojo got his first offical kick. Noble had a 4 yard pass towards Hendrix who made no mistakes and touch downed.

[/div]
Walsh set the best kicker record during preseason. Scoring all 4 of his extra points and going 9 out of 10 on field goals. Walsh was a must see kicker as he was expected to continue his strong play. Although his progress seems to have slowed down a bit, his play has definatly not.
His first kick of the season was one that instantly showed his strenghts. A 41 yard kick hit the spot beautifully, right through the middle to open the scoring. With 19 second left in the second he got to kick his second field goal of the game and with that kick also scored his second of the game. 25 yards right off the uprights and in. Down 24-6, it was time for Walsh's come back rally. With 13 minutes left he kick a banger of a shot from the 44 yard for his third of the game. 5 minutes left in the game and Walsh got his fourth chance of the game. 36 yards this time and the lad makes no mistake.

[/div]
In terms of extra points, Laces had the weakest preformance in the preseason going 5/8 on them. A redeeming factor was his 4/5 field goal stat. Looking to prove doubters wrong he came to Yellowknife to show why the Sabercats are putting their faith in him.
Laces had to wait until 10 minutes into the second quarter when Bottles received a pass from Christ and scored a touch down. With the demons from preseason haunting him, Laces showed up for the extra point. Breath in, breath out and he kicks it. No mistake and Laces scores his first of the season. Sabercats trail 7-10. At the end of the second, 27 seconds to go, Laces got his chance at a field goal. A 33 yarder which gives him the opportunity to tie the game up. He gives the ball a mighty kick and watches as the goal drifts away from the uprights. No goal. He gets a bit of redemption in the 3rd when he kicks in an extra point after a 7 yard run by Willey.
Finishing the day with a perfect 2/2 extra point score. However a 0/1 field goal and a 14-27 lose leave a bit of a sour taste.

[div align=\\\"center\\\"]Archibald Booter (Week 1 Yellowknife Wraiths vs San Jose Sabercats, 27-14 W)

Kicking for the Wraiths in their first game Booter showed a solid game. His first kicking moment came soon at 4:12 into the game. Nuck ran a 5 yard touch down and Booter made no mistake and finished his kick. The Wraiths were up 7-0 early in the game. With 5:07 left in the first, Archibald was getting ready for his first offical field goal kick. A 43 yarder with alot of weight.
