The Senior Titans are Provincial playoff bound, after dispatching Canmore on Saturday in Calgary.
On Saturday, October 29, the Titans and the Wolverines met at Shouldice Stadium. The Titans were coming off a bye week, which allowed them to heal but also left a bit of rust.
“We started off rough, making a few mistakes, we weren’t seeing the field well, we were missing tackles, we were missing blocks,” said head coach Ken Fournier. “The boys cleaned it up, a big part of that was a play sparked by Teigan Sattler with a sack-strip- fumble-recovery-touchdown. It was kind of the unicorn of defensive plays.”
After a back-and-forth first two quarters the team was fired up.
“We came out in the second half with more intensity, and that seemed to help us, and we took it away from there,” said Fournier.
The Titans went on to a 35-6 win. This put them in the first round of the Tier IV provincial playoffs. Before that, they have another bye week where they will watch to see the outcome of Taber- Claresholm. They will host the losing team.
“We are trying to schedule another exhibition game because we don’t want another bye week,” said Fournier.
It has been a strong season for the Titans, where they have both been clearly the best team on the field, while others have been out-and-out battles.
“As far as growth for the entire team, it has been a great season. We have had guys contributing on offence, defence and special teams, and it is not just been one or two guys, everybody is contributing,” said Fournier. “We’re in good shape, I think we just have to clean up. The teams we have played are coming at us every time with something different, which is great. Our guys have been able to adapt, which is a big step forward.”

The Bantam Titans wrapped up their season on Saturday, winning bronze in Tier 1 Nine-a-side Central Alberta Football League.
Last week the Bantam Titans went up against the league’s top team, Olds in the first round of playoffs. Olds handed them a defeat, putting them in the bronze medal game.
The Bantams were in Strathmore on Saturday, October 29. The two met previously this season and battled to a 49-49 tie. This time the Titans were on their game, cruising to a 58-12 win.
“It was a great finish to the year,” said head coach Brad Iverson. “We tied them earlier this year so it was really an all-around game with offence and defence, and special teams caused some turnovers, so it was a great game all around.”
The accomplishments of the team are especially great with such a young squad, and it also bodes for a bright future.
“We have 18 kids returning and only six moving up to senior. We have an excellent base for next year,” said Iverson. “It has been a great year overall, considering how young we were.”
He said what set the team apart was they were able to build confidence throughout the season, even when they were overmatched with bigger teams. He adds the support of the organization, fans, and parents was incredible.
“It would have been tough to put it all together if it weren’t for the parents and the board,” said Iverson.
