Stampeder quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell will be coming to Drumheller this Saturday to act as guest coach for the Drumheller Terrapins. Game time: 11 a.m.
The Drumheller Terrapins will be led by CFL greatness this Saturday as the Calgary Stampeders come to visit during their home game.
Stampeder quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell will be a guest coach for the Terrapins, and he is not alone. Ralph the Dog, the mascot of the Calgary Stampeders, will be there to spread some cheer to the organization. Coach Cory Miles is excited at the development.
‘"It is going to be great,” said Miles adding that when he learned the guest coach was the team’s starting quarterback, he was even more impressed.
According to Jean Lefebvre, director of communications for the Stampeders, the two organizations built a relationship earlier this year when the Titans enjoyed a day with members of the team.
"When this unfortunate incident happened, we heard about it and were trying to figure out the best thing we could do,” he said.
It turned out the Stampeders’ by-week coincided with this Saturday’s game.
“It matched up, and Bo felt really strongly about going himself, so he is going to be the guest coach,” said Lefebvre.
He adds they are looking forward to the enthusiasm the team showed when the Stampeders visited the Drumheller football teams earlier this year.
“We were blown away by how receptive the community was when we went up there… it is a community we remember very well and it is an opportunity to give back.”
Mitchell has been having a strong season, dressing for 13 games and starting in 11. He became the first quarterback in CFL history to win 12 of his first 13 starts.
This Saturday the Terrapins will be taking on Sylvan Lake at 11 a.m. at DVSS Field.
