The Saskatoon Hilltops have made Canadian Junior Football League history with a fifth straight national championship win.

The Hilltops led the Langley Rams during all of Saturday's championship game, finishing with a 58-21win over the Rams at SMF Field in Saskatoon on Saturday.

It was a dominant performance. By the end of the first quarter, the Hilltops were ahead of the Rams 9-0. At half time, the score was 31-7 and at the end of the third quarter, Saskatoon led 51-14.

Hilltops defensive back Logan Bitz and running back Josh Ewanchyna were named defensive and offensive players of the game.

Saskatoon holds 21 Canadian Bowl titles and head coach TomSargeanthas guided the Hilltops to 12 of them.

Saturday's win makes it nine straight years that a Saskatchewan team has won the championship. The Regina Thunder broke the Hilltops' streak with a victory in 2013.
