A Drumheller Titan is getting ready for his team’s run at provincials, but he also has an eye on showcasing his skills representing Alberta.
Teagan Watson, 16, has been selected to play at the Alberta vs BC Showcase and Camp and Game.
Teagan learned he was selected on November 2. A team of selected players will be heading to Langley from December 18-21 for a camp to showcase their skills, culminating in a provincial game.
For the Titans, Teagan plays halfback and running back. For the Alberta Team, he was selected as a halfback.
“I was kind of surprised, honestly. I kind of forgot about it because it took so long to reach out to me,” he said. “I was like wow, it’s so crazy.”
The tryouts were in Airdrie last summer. From there, he was selected to a team, and he played in Red Deer.
Teagan has been playing through the Drumheller Community Football organization since Grade 5 as a Terrapin, and now for the Senior Titans.
The camp and game will be a chance to showcase his skills in front of scouts. He hopes to play at the post-secondary level when he completes his high school career. There may be some more opportunities to get seen this summer.
