The Yorkton Lady Gridders are back on the field gearing up for the start of their season later this month.
Coach Tyrell MacLean said the team held its first official practice today, (Monday), after holding a couple of introductory sessions on the weekend.
鈥淚t went well,鈥� he said. 鈥�... We鈥檙e going to have pretty close to last year (in terms of numbers).鈥�
But, the team would welcome more players.
鈥淲e took right up to just before our last game last year,鈥� he said, adding it will be the same philosophy this season. 鈥淲e won鈥檛 turn away anyone.鈥�
As it stands, MacLean said the roster looks pretty solid, returning their top two quarterbacks and top two running backs from last season.
鈥淎nd through spring we picked up some receivers,鈥� he added.
鈥淪o we鈥檙e going to be good. We鈥檝e got some talent.鈥�
The Lady Gridders season starts Aug. 30 in Melville, with the first home game scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 8 at 2 p.m. at Century Field.
