STAMPEDERS 25 ARGONAUTS 20

CALGARY – Bo Levi Mitchell threw two touchdown passes to lead the Calgary Stampeders over the Toronto Argonauts 25-20 on Monday night.

Jon Cornish ran for another touchdown for the Stamps (2-1), who rebounded from a 29-11 road loss to the Montreal Alouettes on July 3.

Rene Paredes kicked a field goal for Calgary, while Rob Maver added a single.

Toronto quarterback Trevor Harris threw touchdown passes to rookie receivers Kevin Elliott and Tori Gurley while Ronnie Pfeffer kicked a pair of field goals for the Argos (2-1).

Neither team could get much going early on until Harris completed an eight-yard touchdown pass to Elliott late in the first quarter to cap off a seven-play, 78-yard drive.

Tim Brown appeared to give Calgary great field position with a lengthy punt return early in the second quarter, but the play was negated due to a penalty for face-masking on linebacker Karl McCartney.

Calgary hasn't lost two consecutive games in three years. We've lost consecutive overtime games in two weeks. But we've got the best coach. Yeh, right.

So, a defense can hold a lead in the 4th quarter. Who knew?

It is amazing that Toronto had their first Illegal contact penalty last night. Have we gone a quarter without one? It seems every defence other than the Rider's can actually hold on to a lead! But that is OK they are trying really hard and our coach is very proud of our defence, after all that is what pro sports are all about!!
