The Bantam Titans chalked up their first win of the season, and it came against a worthy foe.
The Bantam Titans were the second half of a double header at home Saturday against Springbank.
Their first drive down the field yielded a touchdown, and it didn’t stop after that as the Titans went on to a 36-20 win. Aden Enns and Nick Kakuk led the offense and a strong defense effort contributed to the win.
“They made it interesting in the fourth quarter,” said head coach Paul Redmond. “The defense played well as the offense started clicking.”
The Bantam Titans had never defeated Springbank leading up to Saturday afternoon’s game. Redmond was confident his team would be in the hunt.
“I saw how they played last weekend, and it made for a good match,” said Redmond.
He says it appears there is parity in the league as most teams are strong.
This week they are on the road to play Lindsay Thurber of Red Deer. Often the large urban school fields a strong team.
“They played Hunting Hills of Red Deer and Lacombe and they were both vey close games, so I am thinking they are not the powerhouse they were last year,” said Redmond, adding that Lindsay Thurber was a tier two finalist last season. “I think we will do very well.”
