Terrapins face hard loss

   The Terrapins Peewee football team went head to head with the Rocky Mountain House Rebels last Saturday, September 17 and faced a hard loss of 18 - 0.
   This was the Terrapins home opener and had a great crowd of supporters out to cheer them on.
   Head Coach Thomas Laffin said, “The players again played their hearts out.”
   According to Laffin, the Terrapins fought hard in the first half. The momentum of the game, just shifted to Rocky View in the second half of the game. The second half took a toll on the young 11 - 13 year old players.
   “I only ask our players to give everything they have on the field,” Laffin said. “It doesn’t matter if we win or lose, as long as they play their hardest out on the field. They are champions no matter what happens as long as they give everything they have. I am a proud coach and couldn’t ask for a better group of players.”
   The Terrapins are on the road this Saturday, September 14 to face Olds. Their next home game is Saturday, October 8 at 11:00 a.m.

   The Bantam Titans opened their season last Saturday, September 17 at home with a 12 to 6 win.
   The Titans played their season opener at a home game, and faced a mixed Olds/ Innisfail team on the other end of the field.
   According to head coach Paul Redmond the Olds team was made up of players from both Olds and Innisfail.
   “With not knowing what they would face and unsure of how many players they would have, they showed up with a decent team,” Redmond said.
   Redmond stated that he is already seeing the improvement in the players who have moved up from the peewee league.
   “We bent a little bit but didn’t break,” Redmond laughed, “If you can limit your mistakes, you can win and we proved that. Hopefully we can put in a win again next weekend. Rocky Mountain House has one of the best teams and so we are expecting a tough game.”
   Their next game is this Saturday in Rocky Mountain House.
