GAME(S)OF THE WEEK:
Tier I
#7 Harry Ainlay Titans vs. #4 Salisbury Sabres
Thursday, September 4, 5:00 p.m., Strathcona Athletic Park, Sherwood Park
One of the greatest rivalries in the history of Edmonton High School Football is renewed in the first game out of the gate this Thursday for the Metro Edmonton League. In the 1980’s these two programs played some of the most exciting regular season and championship games and with the split in leagues preventing the continuation of that from 1988-2012 it’s time to get back to the fun! Both teams feature monster defenses so with the early season advantage always going to the defense it will be interesting to see which offense can push across enough points to win. Should be fun in Sherwood Park this Thursday.
