Local football teams primed for provincial title games at BC Place
PARKSVILLE — A pair of Vancouver Island teams are heading to the home of the B.C. Lions to try and bring home hardware at the BC Secondary School Football Championship.
John Barsby Secondary School’s senior AA team and the Ballenas Whalers AA junior football squad will be in Vancouver on Saturday, Dec. 2, with both clubs playing teams from Vernon.
Whalers head coach Mike Seselja said following a few difficult seasons for their program, they’ve formed a winning identity this season.
“This year we’ve kind of solidified, it’s a big step, this group of kids didn’t win a game last year and they still came back, still worked hard all winter.”
