  "account": "The Prairie Football Conference (PFC) championship trophy has been misplaced by the Saskatoon Hilltops, leading to its delivery to the Regina Thunder football club. The trophy, which was meant to be presented to the Regina Thunder following their 44-19 victory over the Saskatoon Hilltops in Sunday's championship game, was forgotten by the Hilltops. As a result, the Regina Thunder's president, Murad Al-Katib, has taken it upon himself to transport the trophy to Regina. Al-Katib expressed disappointment about the oversight, emphasizing the significance of the win and the responsibility that comes with being the defending champions. The Hilltops have since issued an apology on social media, acknowledging their mistake and appreciation for the Regina Thunder's graciousness in accepting the offer. With the mistake now rectified, the Regina Thunder are set to face the Sault Ste. Marie Cougars in an upcoming match, with the chance to advance to the national championship game in British Columbia if they emerge victorious.",
