(l-r) Ethan Duncalf and Derek Carriere of the Drumheller Bantam Titans are busy getting in shape for football season. Offical practice starts August 18, and their home opener is August 29 versus Olds.
The Drumheller Bantam Titans were doing some prep work Friday in anticipation of the start of their season.
“We have their first big game August 29,” said team manager Robin Duncalf.
The Bantam Titans play the Olds Bantam Bulldogs August 29 at the Drumheller Valley Secondary School field.
Running back Derek Carriere, who turns 14 this month, talks about what he wants to focus on this year.
“Learning how to make the plays well, keep up with cardio, keep my stamina up, and just keep fit for football.”
13 year-old slotback Ethan Duncalf the new things he’s looking forward to with the season’s start.
“I’m looking forward this year to working with the new coaches. I guess playing with some players is going to be fun.”
“Getting some new uniforms sounds pretty cool.”
Also debuting at the home opener is the new team uniform.
Lionel’s Oilfield and Heavy Haul made a donation in the spring to the bantam team to make the new uniforms possible.
The team’s manager said they currently have 16 boys, but are looking for more to join.
The peewee, bantam, and senior Titans all hit the field Monday for their first official team practices for the new football season.
