The Titans are still heading to provincials this weekend, but lost home-field advantage after a 0-10 loss to the Canmore Wolverines in the snow on Friday, November 2. The boys will be playing the top seed W.R. Myers Revels in the regional semi-finals. Game time is at 1 p.m. in Taber on Saturday, November 10.
The Morrin Mustangs Junior High volleyball team are on their way to zones, for the first time in a half a decade.
The team, coached by Katie Suntjens and Rachelle Grenville, defeated Delia School on Thursday, November 1 in straight games to earn their way to the tournament.
“This year we had a super strong team. We only had two Grade 7s, so we had a super strong core of girls who we worked with last year as well,” Suntjens said.
In league play, the Mustangs went undefeated, except for a single game versus Delia. That game determined which team would host the playoffs to qualify for zones, which were played out last Thursday. The Mustangs bounced back and won 25-20 and 25-10.
“The girls are super excited because this is the first time in five years we have got to zones,” said Suntjens.
“It is just a great team this year. The Grade 9s have been super helpful with the Grade 7s that have come up. They have been dedicated in coming for practices.”
The team has also fared well in tournament play this season, including in Delia last weekend. The Mustangs defeated Cremona in the final to win the tournament.
The South Central Zone tournament is this Saturday, November 10 at Wheatland Crossing School.
The Drumheller Terrapins have struck gold, winning the Central Pee Wee Football League C Championship.
The Terrapins travelled to Olds for the championship on Saturday, November 3. They topped the Olds Huskies 9-0.
“It all fell into place,” said Tanner Harvie who scored a two-point conversion “Once we started we never quit it was a really good game and we just never gave up.
The team was able to hold Olds scoreless. Teagan Watson said the defence performed well.
“We focused on defence. We tried not to let the touchdowns in, which we succeeded,” said Teagan who scored on a safety.
Gavin Cassidy felt it was an overall effort.
“Everybody was doing their job and having fun,” he said.
This was a banner year for the Terrapins, and next year 15 members will be heading up to bantam.
“It’s going to be really sad because leaving the Terrapins is like leaving a hometown, but bantam will be really fun,” said Tanner.
