Football fans are going to be painting the field gold and black as the Senior Titans play for the league championship this weekend.
The Titans are hoping this will be their year. They have made it to the league finals the last three years, but victory has since alluded them. They are looking forward to having the extra player in the stands with the home advantage.
“We are hoping for a huge crowd, it is always great to get a lot of people out to cheer on the team,” said Jason Rasmussen, member of the Titans coaching staff.
The student council of the Drumheller Valley Secondary School have planned all kinds of activities for game day starting at 11 a.m. They will be having a tailgate party and even have face painting for young fans. They will also have a concession during the game for fans to warm up with a hot chocolate.
Game time is at 1 p.m. and Rasmussen said they are planning some half time contests and activities including a kick to win contest.
The main event will be the game. Rasmussen explains that for the last few seasons Rundle College has had a hold on the league, as well as the province in football at the Tier 4 level.
“This year our chances are looking a lot better,” said Rasmussen.
“I am really excited and anticipating what we might be able to accomplish this weekend.”
Rasmussen said while they are looking forward to a run at the provincials, the Titans cannot overlook Canmore. While the Titans have beaten them twice in a row, Canmore can still be dangerous.
“It is hard not to look past a team that you’ve beaten twice with a combined score of 57 - 0, but you can’t. Each game from this point on is sudden death,” said Rasmussen.
