The Titans are one step closer on the road to the provincial championship after putting Canmore away in convincing fashion.
It has been almost exactly a year since the Titans and Canmore have faced each other on the field. And while the two teams are familiar with how each other plays, Coach Ken Fournier said Canmore had a few surprises.
The Titans’ swarming defense kept Canmore to just two touchdowns as they cruised to a 49-14 win. The Titans advance to the Southern Alberta final to take on Willow Creek School in Claresholm this Saturday.
“They were a bit different than last year. They ran some good plays, but we took the game away after the first quarter,” said Fournier.
In fact, Canmore came out strong and in the first quarter, the two teams were tied. By halftime however, the Titans were up 27-7. They went on to win 49-14.
Fournier said offensively Gage Berdahl and Steven Robertson had great game and connected for nearly 200 yards in passing.
“All of our offensive scoring came from different players,” said Fournier, he also pointed great games by Justin Schinnour and Joey Samoleski on defense.
The post season for the Titans is becoming familiar territory, but nothing they take lightly. This Saturday they are heading to Claresholm to take on Willow Creek School. A win will clinch a spot in the Provincial final.
Again, they are a familiar team and coach Fournier has been scouting. He doesn’t foresee many surprises.
“They definitely have some guys who can make an impact on their offense… we are looking to control that,” said Fournier. “The next game will be a good one. If we can pass them, it will be a good game to prepare us for the final.”
This same weekend, Holy Rosary of Lloydminster and Cold Lake will be in competition for the Northern Alberta spot in the final.
