The Drumheller Senior Titans were able to work on their passing game in a lop-sided victory over Kate Andrews at home, as they charged their way to a 75-0 victory.
The Titans hosted the school from Coaldale on Saturday in exhibition play. The Titans scored two touchdowns before the Kate Andrews team could set up their offence.
“Our offence got the ball first and we took it down and scored. They turned it over on the kick-off and we took it down and scored again,” said coach Ken Fournier. “Our offense was just too powerful.”
By the end of the first quarter, they were up 30-0. The Titans were able to use their passing game and were able to score three times on the pass.
Kate Andrews typically has a strong football program.
“They (Coaldale) had 18 players, they played the whole game and they battled to the end,” said Fournier. “We are just coming into our prime this season, and we came across a team that is young and developing. It just was two teams that were not matched at where they are at this season.”
Two teams that are matched well this season are the Titans and Olds, and they will be meeting in Olds Saturday. Currently Olds is ranked third in the province, and the Titans are ranked sixth. In their first meeting, Olds won 20-0, but were only able to score once directly against the Titans offence. Olds is coming off a lop-sided win over Canmore 66-7.
“Two powerful offenses going head to head this weekend, so basically it is going to come down to whose defence steps up,” said Fournier.
His assessment is mirrored by Football Alberta, which pegged this as one of its Games of the Week:
“Small schools but a big rivalry between these two original members of the Big Sky League… obviously offense is not a problem for these teams, so we’ll see which irresistible force can also become the immovable object this weekend.”
