The Senior Titans are on top of the league, and are looking forward to playing in the league championship, and maybe beyond.
The Titans finished the regular season by handing Canmore a 43-0 drubbing. They started strong on the road last Saturday, and never looked back.
“The passing game was going and the running game was going and the defence is getting stronger every week,” said head coach Ken Fournier. “They (Canmore) had four yards rushing and nine yards passing in the first half.”
He adds the team pulled five interceptions out of the sky.
Fournier said Kyle Smith was invaluable on special teams and defence. Dale Poulsen was also a standout on defence.
The offensive duo of Braden Shriven and Spencer Fournier were again hot. Scriven scored one touchdown, while Spencer had four.
“Braden chews up the yards, and Spencer reaps the rewards,” said Fournier.
Quarterback Steven Robertson was making good decisions and moving the ball.
Alex Cliché was also a standout on special teams.
“He made one kid think twice about ever going on the field again,” said Fournier. “But he makes plays like that and gets the team pumped up, and sometimes that’s all it takes is that one big play,” said Fournier.
The Titans are now 6-2, and 4-1 in league play. They are ranked fourth in the province.
Fournier explains because of how the tier system works, the first game of playoffs will be the league championships. They will be seeing Canmore this Saturday at home for the title.
Because there will only be one round of league playoffs, if the Titans are successful in beating Canmore this Saturday, there will be a layoff before provincials begin. This will be helpful to let the team heal, scout potential teams, and maybe have a chance to scrimmage with tougher teams to prepare.
“It is nicer to have those closer battles. Down the road, if we win the championship, we’ll have two weeks before provincials so we will be scheduling exhibition games against stronger opponents to prepare,” said Fournier.
“This is a great opportunity to focus.”
The Titans will be on the field at DVSS for the league championship this Saturday at 2 p.m.
