The Senior Titans made light work of the Strathmore Spartans at home and have advanced to the league semifinals.
Last Tuesday night, October 15, the Titans hosted the Spartans in the quarter final round of the Rangeland Football League Championships.
The Drumheller Titans cruised past Strathmore Tuesday, winning 61-14. This Friday they are on their way to play Crescent Heights in Medicine Hat in the semifinals.
The Titans literally ran away with the game. By the end of the first quarter, the Titans were up by 27 points, and by the half were up 41-0. In the end, they won 61-14.
Coach Ken Fournier said he was happy with the effort by the team. He was able to give everyone playing time. The whole team, from his seasoned vets to younger players all contributed to the win.
He added that even with the lop-sided score, Strathmore made a late run to get on the scoreboard and left the field feeling good.
The Titans had a good night, and so did Crescent Heights out of Medicine Hat. They too advanced to the semifinal round and will be hosting the Titans this Friday night.
The Titans opened their regular season versus the Crescent Height Vikings. They were banged up from their trip to Hawaii and short a few of their key players. They jumped out a head but the Vikings narrowed the gap and came back to win 20-19.
This proves the Vikings aren’t going to lie down, in fact they are the defending league champions. Fournier feels confident the Titans can go all the way in league play.
“I feel we have a legitimate shot at the Rangeland League,” said Fournier.
The Titans face the Vikings this Friday in Medicine Hat at 5 p.m.
If they are successful, the league final will be October 25. Provincials begin in November.
