Although it was a rough start to the season for the Century 21 Peewee Chargers season, head coach Jason Bresciani is hoping some lessons were learned last week.
In their first game of the season, the Chargers took a 49-0 decision on the chin Saturday to one of Moose Jaw’s strongest peewee football teams.
“We’ve got a lot of young kids that have some experience and even some kids that have never played football before, so there’s going to be a lot of learning this season,” said Bresiciani. “We made some mistakes and we made some good plays. It’s going to be a learning experience and we’ve got to keep on working at it.”
Bresciani said James Lewis is one of the team’s running backs, while Talys Brock will be one of the team’s strongest linebackers and Thmoas Harrison will be strong on defence. The team will split quarterback duties between Jole Yanu-Little Chief and Caleb Bresciani.
The Chargers will be in Assiniboia Saturday to battle the Rockets.
“I’ve got a feeling we’ll be in the middle of the pack, probably anywhere between fourth and fifth,” said Jason Bresciani. “That’s my goal and that’s our focus. We’ve just got to keep plugging at it and see what happens.”
In between now and the time the playoffs start, Bresciani hopes to have the team getting some better results.
The Chargers’ first home game is scheduled for Sept. 22 against Weyburn at 11:30 a.m. as part of Football Day in Estevan.
