CHS football team wraps up regular season; eyes playoff run

Oct 16, 2017 | 5:00 PM

An injury-riddled final game of the regular season isn’t impeding Meadow Lake’s Carpenter High School football team in their playoff dreams, according to head coach Sam Dawson.

The squad went to Kindersley on Friday, Oct. 13. The host team claimed the victory with a score of 40-0. Dawson said even though the defence played well, the offensive side struggled. 

“We were plagued by a few key injuries,” he said. “Both of our running backs Ethan Kyplain and Kyle Morin went down, and one of our linebackers Kagen Bacon went down as well.”

With the regular season wrapped up, conference playoffs begin this week, and every game from now on is a must-win to vie for a chance to make it to the Saskatchewan High School Athletics Association provincial bracket, Dawson said. The Spartans will make the same trip for their first playoff, right back to Kindersley this Thursday, Oct. 19.
