Drumheller Titans alumni are turning heads on the field as the next generation head up to the next level of play.
Last week it was announced standouts Connor Enns and Braden Mazereeuw were selected to play for the junior Valley Huskers. The Huskers are based in Chilliwack and play in the BC Football conference. Tye Sparvier was also signed for junior football playing for the Calgary Colts.
Enns has played in the Drumheller Community Football program from the Peewee Terrapins up to the Senior Titans. The DVSS graduate also played for the Airdrie Raiders.
“They checked out my Hudl (video highlights) tape from last year with the Titans and they liked what they saw and reached out to me,” said Connor. This was not his only offer, but found the Huskers were a great fit.
“I wanted to go to junior because my bothers also went there as well, and the team that I joined gave me a huge opportunity,” said Enns.
He still has his sights on university and would like to play in British Columbia.
Mazereeuw will be joining Enns as a Husker. The St. Anthony’s graduate played as full-back and halfback for the Titans. He has played with the squad for 8 years. He selected the Huskers because of the connection he made with the coach
“I liked the way he talked to me, he made me feel like he really wanted me to come to his organization,”’ said Mazereeuw.
He explains he can play up to two years at the junior level without it affecting his eligibility at university.
With the Calgary Colts selection of Tye Sparvier, he brings size to the squad. The 6’ 5” Titan has signed up to play on the Offensive Line for the Colts.
Sparvier has played three years with the Titans, in a number of different positions. He is grateful for the instruction he has received from the Titans and has progressed quickly through his high school career.
He tells the Mail, he chose the Colts because of location. He will be attending SAIT this fall studying new media production and design.
“It is pretty exciting, it will be a new interesting chapter,” said Sparvier.
