New Season Ready to Begin
Friday Night Lights A Rainy Success
The harder it rained, the harder the Westlock Thunderbirds ran during last Friday's season-opening exhibition home game against the Vegreville Vortex.
The T-Birds washed Vegreville clean 39-18 in front of nearly 600 screaming fans at the field near Westlock Elementary School, and though the wet weather kept many away from the annual Friday Night Lights event, it only seemed to help the big-bodied Westlock squad.
Vegreville's a passing team, so it's probably a little disappointing for them, said head coach Jon Kramer, adding that nice weather would have also let Westlock work some passes of their own.
It would have been nice to not have the rain, because then you get to do a couple more things. But it was a perfect night.
The game started in the T-Birds favour, opening up with a long-run touchdown from Jacob Williston, the team's first touchdown of the 2016 season.
It felt good, but I couldn't it without my linesmen. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be anywhere near that end zone, Williston said.
It was a good game for the rookies. They really came out for tonight.
