Valley Huskers up for the challenge as they defend home turf Saturday in season opener against Kamloops
CHILLIWACK — The Valley Huskers know they have a tough, physical opponent awaiting them this weekend as they defend home turf against Kamloops in their Canadian Junior Football League season opener at Exhibition Stadium.
At the same time, Huskers head coach Bob Reist likes his team’s chances against a Broncos squad that fell to the Westshore Rebels 43-27 in their season opener at home last Saturday (July 20).
“Kamloops is always a physical team that brings it on every play,” Coach Reist said. “They have some exceptionally talented receivers and playmakers. We look forward to the challenge on Saturday. We are excited to kick the season off. I think we have a strong group of veterans combined with a solid group of new faces that should be able to produce a lot of excitement this year.”
Returning quarterback Tyran Duval will be counted on to anchor the Huskers offence towards a breakout season.
