Young Yorkton footballers are flexing their skills, spreading their wings, and representing their hometown as they battle athletes from across Canada.
Five Yorkton football players are competing in the 2018 Under-16 Eastern Challenge in Guelph, Ontario. They’re playing with the Saskatchewan team in the week-long tournament (which began on Jul. 7). The Yorktonites (all from YRHS) joined 35 other athletes from around the province.
Jaxon Boyda (defensive back), Kenton Effa (linebacker), Keane Szabo (linebacker), Reece McCormick (defensive line), and Dallas Thiessen (offensive line) competed in evaluation camps to earn their spots on the team. They’ll be competing against teams from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec.
The tournament wraps up on Jul. 15.Â
