BOYS SOCCER
The Lakers competed hard last week, in their last two league games, but were not able to come away with a win. This week the team travels to Cochrane to take on the tough Cobras, in quarter-final playoffs. With a win the team will move on to semi-final playoffs. Go Lakers!
SPRING FOOTBALL
The Chestermere Lakers ran spring camp this weekend to kick off the 2019 season and the team is off to a great start. Graduating 15 players from last years roster means there are plenty of starting roles to fill and a number of players made their case. Returning players having strong camps were receiver Nate Porterfield, defensive backs Rowan Dupuis and Zain Baig , lineman Jake Taffs and quarterback Logan Bennett. Plenty of younger players had strong showings as well. The impact of the Chestermere Chiefs program was noticeable this year as more first year players than ever came in ready to compete. The players at camp also benefited from having close to 10 alumni return to help coach at different points during camp. It’s always great to see players come back to support the program. Fall camp begins with concussion testing and physical testing on August 15. Contact Coach Ledieu for details.
RUGBY
The girls and boys rugby teams are working hard to prepare for the 3rd annual Rocky View Divisional Championships. Three Chestermere teams will compete this year, hoping to bring back another league championship banner. The event will take place at Bow Valley High School in Cochrane.
