The Strathmore peewee Spartans showed a lot of courage as they finished their season Saturday afternoon in Innisfail. Although they played their hearts out, it wasn’t enough to overcome the very big, very fast Innisfail team. The defense had a monster game holding the Innisfail offense to only eight points in the first half, with eight stops on the two yard line. 

The Cyclones got the ball to start the second half and didn’t look back, scoring 46 points to finish the game. The score doesn’t show how close the teams matched up, because as soon as it started to become clear they wouldn’t come back to win, head coach Doug Klauck put all of the remaining rookies in the game to get them some playing time. 

“I am so proud of our peewees. They had a great season and today, played a fair and clean game,” said team trainer Lori Klauck. The Spartans lost many players throughout the game, due to injury, but still continued to fight even when down. The kids fought through the fear of playing the same team that beat them 64-8 and still never gave up. Strathmore football has lots to look forward to if this is the dedication and effort the peewees, (Strathmore’s youngest players), put in. 

The three Strathmore football teams will get together one last time this season, on Friday, Nov. 18, for the annual awards banquet.
