Messam, Parades lead the way as Stampeders grind out 21-17 victory over Lions
VANCOUVER — Calgary Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson hounded his team all week about their sloppy practices after enjoying some time off to heal bumps and bruises.
The club grinded out the win on Friday night, but no one was overly thrilled with the performance.
Jerome Messam rushed for Calgary’s only touchdown and Rene Parades was perfect on five field goals in a sloppy 21-17 victory over the B.C. Lions.
“We played exactly like we practised,” said Dickenson. “Guys just lost their focus a little bit.”
