The visiting High Prairie Outlaws lost 34-6 to the Sexsmith Shamrocks on Oct. 7 in Peace Country Bantam Football League action.
Despite the loss, coaches were impressed with the effort of the players.
“The Outlaws put in an exceptional team effort against the Sabres,” coach Cody Herr says.
“I would venture to say it was the best outing they have had this year.”
No information about the lone High Prairie score was available.
Coaches commended the players for their play.
“We’re so proud of the effort and the heart the players had,” Herr says.
He says the team received many positive comments about the Outlaws’ play.
“Thank you to the Shamrocks for an entertaining game and the compliments for our players,” Herr says.
The Outlaws are scheduled to visit the Grande Prairie Raiders on Oct. 21 to close out the regular season before the playoffs start.
Both the Outlaws and the high school Renegades were scheduled to play in Edson last weekend.
However, the game for the Outlaws on Oct. 14 and the Renegades on Oct. 13 were cancelled as stated on a post Oct. 11 on the High Prairie Football Facebook page.
Both Edson teams have moved to different leagues, the post states.
As a result, the regular season has finished for the Renegades with a record of one win and four losses.
One of those losses was for a game that wasn’t played when the Renegades were forced to forfeit the game with many players unable to play because of injuries and illnesses.
