The Drumheller Titans are heading back on to the field and are looking for a few more bodies to put the team over the edge.
The senior football team has a strong core of players on its roster and is looking forward to a strong Season. The team’s training camp begins on August 17, and Coach Ken Fournier thinks they’ll be able to put points up on the board.
“It will be the offense this year. This year we have more offensive weapons than what we have had a in a quite a few years,” he said. “We have lots of talent we just need more bodies to compete.”
Along with the players already registered, he hopes to see some new faces on the field.
“We need depth. If we want to compete at the level we want to compete, we should have about 35-40 players. We are hovering around 30. If you want to win championships, you have to have enough people to weather the storm throughout the season.”
Fall training camp goes for two weeks and they are planning an exhibition game, slated for August 29. Coach Fournier invites anyone who is interested in playing the game to come out.
‘There is no harm in trying, there is no obligation, said Fournier. “Even home schoolers and kids from St. Anthony’s and other schools can play,” he said, adding that they have been pleasantly surprised by talent from other schools in the past.
The team is back playing the Rangeland Conference, and Fournier says they have a competitive schedule from the get go. Their first two regular season games put hem up against the Crescent Heights of Lethbridge and then the Medicine Hat Mohawks .
“They have to play the two toughest teams to start the season,” said Fournier.
