“This will be the Grizzlies’ toughest opponent since their 28-23 loss against Vancouver College in the first week of the season,” Parks pointed out.

The Grizzlies haven’t played in nearly three weeks by virtue of Sardis Secondary forfeiting in the final week of the regular season, and a first-round playoff bye, but Parks is confident the extended rest won’t impact the Grizzlies once kick-off arrives.

If anything, South Delta’s balanced attack gives the Grizzlies all the more reason to work hard and prepare for what should be a thrilling environment and challenge.

“We are doing our best to stay game-ready,” Parks said. “Defensively, this is one of our biggest tests of the year. South Delta has a balanced attack and are well-coached on the offensive side of the ball.

Head coach Luke Acheson knows his players are up for the challenge and won’t overlook them as the Grizzlies have their sights set on provincials.

“The Sun Devils are a dangerous opponent,” Acheson said. “They’ve been playing really well against very good teams. Our players are looking forward to the challenge this Friday in this much anticipated, high-stakes, playoff matchup in front of our home fans.”
