Camrose Trojans Football

Congratulations to the Camrose bantam Buffalos winning the tier 4 Championship 52-38 over Wetaskiwin.

The Camrose Trojans warded off a late surge in the second half to defeat the Rocky Mountain House Rebels 16-14. Dorian Gibbs picked up a punt deep inside the Trojans end and ran it all the way back for the first touchdown of the game. The extra point was unsuccessful. The Trojan defence came up big sacking the Rebels QB in the endzone to earn the safety. Brett Beirsto got his first touchdown of the season on a hard run inside. The Trojans went for two and Drew Loosemore found Trey Gerhart in the endzone to round out the scoring for the Trojans. The Rebels passing game held them in it and were set up for a Field Goal to take the lead but veteran Linebacker Tynan McCarthy got the block. It was a big team win with offence defence and special teams all scoring for the Trojans.

The Trojans hold their team banquet at the Camrose Composite High School on November 23rd.

The Camrose Trojans will host the Rocky Mountain House Rebels in their final game of the season Thursday November 2 at 6:00 P.M. at the Harry Andreason Football Field. The Rebels defeated the Ponoka Broncs last week to earn the right to come to Camrose to play the Trojans in the final game. Come on out and cheer on your Camrose Trojans as they end the 2017 year at home under the lights.
