CALGARY (13-6) 24, HAMILTON
(13-5-1) 22 - Calgary
K Mark McLoughlin cracked a 35-yard FG on the final play of the game to
give the Stampeders a thrilling Grey Cup victory over the Hamilton
Tiger-Cats. The winning kick came after Stamps quarterback Jeff Garcia,
responding to a Hamilton touchdown at 12:55 of the fourth quarter,
marched Calgary down field in the final two minutes of the game. It was
the Stamps second victory in four Grey Cup appearances since 1991 and
leaves them well positioned to claim bragging rights as the CFL's team
of the '90s. For the Ticats, the last-second heartbreak ended a
Cinderella season in which they rebounded from a 2-16 record in 1997 to
advance to their first Grey Cup since 1989.
