The Senior Titans are looking strong out of the gate, coming home from a victory in their season opener last Friday night.
The Titans travelled to Lacombe to start the season on August 31, and came home with a 30-22 victory.
While there were some small procedural issues, Coach Ken Fournier was impressed with the team on the field taking on a team playing two tiers higher than the Titans.
“All the coach’s were pretty surprised at how well we did,” said coach Fournier. “We did really well. Defensively we had some rookies step right up, and the veterans played well.”
The offense was strong as well. The Titans’ backs were able to run for 500 yards. Spencer Fournier is back and rookie Josh Weetweringen rushed for 100 yards alone. Fournier said the Titans also had a strong passing game.
“We moved the ball effectively with running and passing,” said Fournier. “Steven Robertson (quarterback) is doing great and our tight ends are catching a lot of balls.”
He is happy with the performances.
“It was great to come out and execute like that. Our passing was working, we made some adjustments, and our running was working. Defensively we stalled their offense quite a bit,” said Fournier.
The first set of seasonal ranking came out and the defending provincial champion Titans are ranked at the top of the Tier 4 rankings. This comes with a target on their back.
“Everybody in the league is preparing… and doing what we have to do to take down the Drumheller offense,” said Fournier.
The Titans are back on the field this Saturday in Olds. The Titans home opener is on September 15 versus Canmore.
