With training camps now in the books, game action gets underway this weekend on the high school football circuit.
The Lindsay Thurber Raiders open the year as the 9th ranked team in Tier 1. Last year’s surprise team is this year’s mystery team, according the Football Alberta season preview.
After years of spinning their wheels, the Raiders had a breakout 2018 campaign that saw them go 7-2 in regular season play and advance to the Northern Tier I Final where they acquitted themselves quite nicely in a 49-21 loss to Harry Ainlay.
Devon Hand takes over from last year’s Alberta Tier I Coach of the Year, Aaron Sheppard, and their only returnee of note is Team Alberta U17 linebacker Chase Pack.
