The Strathmore Community Football Association Bantam Badgers dominated the Drumheller Titans with a convincing 47-14 win on Sept. 5 in Strathmore.
The wet conditions did not seem to pose an issue for the Badgers, as they were able to use their run game effectively, not giving the short-benched Titans any space to work their offense.
“It was pretty much a run game, lots of slips, a few fumbles,” said head coach Sean Seafoot. “We just made sure our players had good ball handling.”
The team’s game plan going in was to give the opposing defense different looks and it gave the home side results.
“We just wanted them to respect our pass, so they didn’t stop our run all the way,” he said. “Defensively, we did great. We had a lot of guys flowing to the ball. We did play them this last year and we knew they had some weird stuff going in the backfield, lots of handoffs. We were practicing for it and we did prepare for it.”
Seafoot did mention that it was great for the players to experience these conditions early on, as it will prove pivotal as the season wears on.
“Having a first game … guys will know to have two hands on the ball when they’re getting tackled instead of one,” he said.
