Sarnia Imperials wide receiver Ryan Lounsbury (89) reels in a pass in the end zone to complete a touchdown against the Ottawa Invaders during a thrilling 58-53 victory Aug. 5.

The quarterfinal game at Norm Perry Park was a crazy one, with the Sarnia blowing a 15-0 lead to trail 40-15 at halftime.

The Imps were still down by three with less than five minutes remaining but regained control again with three onside kicks.

With the victory, the Imperials advanced to a Northern Football Conference semi-final tilt against the GTA All Stars.
