It’s not been an easy season for the Estevan Lions Club peewee Chargers football team.
Their most recent effort at home ended in a 28-0 loss to the Moose Jaw Mustangs at Woodlawn Field.
“We’re averaging about 26 kids per game between injuries and kids being sick,” said Chargers head coach Jason Bresciani. “We’re doing what we can and just each week taking it a day at a time.”
James Lewis and Cooper Pukas have been good for the team offensively this season, Bresciani said.
“Some other guys are starting to catch on,” he said. “Cameron Green is starting to get the idea and starting to get some yards. We’ve been putting Kolton Malaryk in as a running back and some others. Those guys have been starting to get some positive yardage.”
It’s been a challenge to keep the focus positive when the results haven’t been coming in yet.
“We’ve got to just keep on repeating ourselves,” Bresciani said. “Just keep their focus because kids do lose their focus pretty quick.”
The Chargers’ last regular season game is Oct. 6 against the Moose Jaw Lions in Moose Jaw, with their playoff game the following week, likely against the Moose Jaw Vikings or the Weyburn Eagles.
