The Peewee Drumheller Terrapins had a strong showing in Calgary as they participated in a preseason jamboree, Saturday, August 14.
Coach Brad Iverson tells the Mail, the jamboree is an annual event in Calgary for charity, and to get some preseason experience. He was able to secure a place for the team.
They played in a jamboree-style tournament where they play 12 a side, and each plays 10 plays on offense and 10 plays on defense. They played the Rebels, the Hilltoppers, and the Wildcats.
“They did well. We won one game and tied two,” said Iverson. “That is really good. I think we have a pretty good team. We have lots of players from last year and good numbers. We have 28 players now and that is up from the last few years. We competed really well against those Calgary teams.”
Iverson is the coach of the Bantam Titans, however, they were able to participate in the jamboree due to numbers. Despite this, they are looking forward to a season of football this fall.
The Terrapins and the Bantam Titans have begun practice on Monday and Wednesday evenings, and both are welcoming new players. The Terrapins go at 6 p.m. and the Bantams at 7:30 p.m. Those wishing to play can come out during practice times, or check out the Drumheller Titans Facebook page for more information and contact.
