The Martensville High School Royals football team travelled to Delisle on Friday, September 23rd to take on the Rebels under the lights. Going into the game, both teams were undefeated so far this season.
The back-and-forth match provided a great show for the crowd; however, the Royals turned the ball over eight times, which Coach Tyler Munday said was tough to overcome. In the end, the Rebels took the W with a final score of 41-34.
“The boys fought hard and didn’t give up. We scored another touchdown on the last play of the game,” Munday said.
During the game, middle linebacker Jackson Heisler was in on more than a dozen tackles and Aidan Low saw a total of four TD’s.
The two teams will have a rematch this Thursday, September 29th at 4pm on Wilson Field in Martensville and Munday is hoping that the Royals are able to eliminate the turnovers and come out on top this week.
“We are focusing this week on ball security and upping the energy for the revenge rematch. The boys are excited to have a shot to right the ship this week. We know we can play better, but with that being said, Delisle is well-coached and they will come prepared as well,” Munday stated.
The Royals would love to see a big crowd come out to cheer them on this week as they take on their conference rivals. “It’s going to be a great day, weather wise for football – both for playing and watching.”
The team would like to thank the community for their support thus far, as they held their annual bottle drive recently and were able to raise over $5000.
