The junior Bellerose Bulldogs finished the season with two losses and both were against Salisbury Sabres.
The score in Tuesday’s division one final was 50-0 as Salisbury three-peated as metro Edmonton champions.
Bellerose fell behind by 22 points in the first quarter and trailed by 29 at halftime and 36 after three quarters at Clarke Stadium.
Bellerose (4-2, 145 PF/111 PA) was competing in its first junior final after winning its fourth playoff banner in a row in 2015.
In the pool A versus pool B regular season, Salisbury (6-0, 377 PF/30 PA) defeated Bellerose 48-16 Oct. 1 in St. Albert.

The week before in Spruce Grove, the Bulldogs out-scored the Panthers 49-42 in the last game before the playoffs to determine fourth and fifth place in the standings.
The Bulldogs and Panthers alternated throughout the season as the 10th ranked Tier I (1,250-plus students) team in the province.
