The bantam Titans wrapped up their season last Saturday versus the Olds Bulldogs.
Despite being beaten out of the playoffs and not continuing to provincials, coach Paul Redmond said this was the best season ever.
The bantams finished the regular season with a 3-3 record. The post season for the Bantams began against a strong Lindsay Thurber team on October 22. The Titans were missing their star running back Josh Weeteringen, who had a concussion. The Titans were able to move the ball and shut down the Red Deer school’s passing game, but fell 49-0.
This put them into the consolation round last weekend, and a win would have propelled them into the Tier 3 provincial playoffs.
They faced Olds for the second time this season, this time missing Weeteringen. Olds jumped out to a 30-0 lead, but also met misfortune and lost a key player, which evened out the teams.
The Titans went on an offensive charge and Aden Enns marched four touchdowns into the end zone. It wasn’t enough to make up the difference as Olds went on to win 36-28.
Even after the strong season, the team is looking good, they will be losing about eight players, and some of the strong elements will remain.
“We are looking good for next year,” said Redmond.
