Jul 7, 2018 | 9:41 PM

The battle for second place in the Alberta Football League was a one-sided one.

The Central Alberta Buccaneers crushed the St. Albert Stars 56-8 Saturday night at Great Chief Park. The Bucs improved to 4-1 on the season while St. Albert fell to 3-2.

Quarterback Brandon Leyh had another huge game for the Buccaneers, throwing for seven touchdowns on the night, three of them to receiver Ben Hnatiuk.

Tylor Johannesson opened the scoring with a 110-yard return of a missed field goal attempt by the Stars midway through the first quarter.

Josh Blanchard scored a pair of touchdowns for the Buccaneers while Preston Bailey scored one.
