Spring Camp 2014

The day is almost upon us. We are fueled up and ready for action. Some of the Redmen players and coaches got a jumpstart on the football year with RMF Spring League and Football Saskatchewan ID camps. This is your opportunity to show our coaches your skills and get ready for the fall. The snow on the ground is perfect because we fully intend on practicing when there's snow on the ground in the fall. Let's go.

Week 7 - Regular Season Finale vs. Riffel

A promising first half turned into disappointment by game's end. Moving the ball effectively on Offense, but penalties left the Redmen spinning their wheels and unable to put any majors on the board. A well prepared defense eventually weakened and sloppy tackling allowed the Royals to find the endzone twice in the second half en route to a 22-3 victory.

Week 6

Another win by the Redmen over Knoll. The windy conditions played a factor early, allowing the Knoll kicker to sail the ball into the endzone for a single point from the opening kickoff. The Redmen offense went to work and racked up yardage and scores from Ryan Schienbein and Brady Reid. The first half ended with an electric punt return touchdown from Schienbein. The Redmen D stayed strong and after interceptions from Eric Despins and Aiden Larsen, the Redmen found themselves celebrating a 27-10 victory. This week, Riffel on Friday at 730 at Mosaic Stadium.

Week 5

College Avenue Cup week vs. Miller
A questionable start, running 2 offensive plays, giving up a touchdown and safety seemed to light a fire under the Redmen offense. After being down 9-0 after Q1, the Redmen scored 2 quick touchdowns and moved the ball effectively while slowing the Miller offense. More of the same in the second half allowed the Redmen to seal a 26-9 victory and return home with the College Avenue Cup.

Week 4

All sorts of hype surrounded the Friday night game vs. homecoming. A chill in the air, but optimism running wild on the Balfour sidelines. After a tight first quarter and a half, a small blowup allowed the Tartans to score 14 quick points and gain some distance from their homecoming rivals. The Redmen tightened up in the second half and made it interesting in the final quarter, but ended up with losing 34-20.

Week 2

A tough loss against a strong Leboldus team let the Redmen know how much work they need to put in to succeed and compete with teams of that calibre. A bye week lets us get back to basics and get some of the late additions to the team up to speed.

Week 1

A tough loss for the Redmen, 39-22 to the Luther Lions. The game was back and forth, but in the end, the heat and exhaustion took it's toll on the outnumbered Balfour players. Bright spots on the field were Ryan Schienbein scoring two touchdowns on 18 carries and racking up 193 yards. Justice Taylor threw a touchdown to Tyrel Latoski, finishing with 122 yards passing. Nolan Spence and Luke Wilson drew some huge cheers for their bone crushing hits. Next up for the boys in Red, LeBoldus - Friday September 13 at Leibel Field (515pm).
