Hague Panthers Football Team Looking to Stay Perfect



The Hague Panther football team is looking to stay perfect as they take on the PACI (Prince Albert College Institute) today at 4:00 in Hague. The Hague Panthers are 2-0 so far this season and are looking to improve their record to 3-0. The team started practicing on August 26th and look pretty solid on both sides of the ball. The Hague Panthers are lead by Chris Sawatzky and Dalton Janzen, the fourth year veterans.  The coaches of the team are Kelly Lungull (offensive coordinator), and Brett Berry (defensive coordinator). The PACI Golden Bears don’t seem like they will be a contender this year as they have finished in the basement in the last couple years, and are coming of a big lose, losing to Rosthern 73-13.
The Panthers played an exhibition game against the Wakaw Warriors and defeated them 36-26. There were lots of new faces on the field as many of the rookies got playing time. Travis Fehr led the team to victory scoring 4 out of 5 touchdowns. He caught 3 touchdown passes, and returned a punt for a touchdown. The special teams also looked impressive recovering a fumble on a kickoff. The kicker also looked good making 3/5 converts. It was bitter cold and raining, but the players battled through the elements and took the win. 
In week 2 the panthers took on the underrated Big River Rebels. The game was a nail bitter as both teams exchange touchdowns, but it was the Panthers came on top with a 25-23 victory. The Hague offense looked shaky at best, with staring running back Travis Fehr not going 100% with a head injury, some of the younger players had to step up. “He ran into a goalpost about a week ago,” said the coach, “We don’t have a lot of depth right now.” Some of the positives coming from the game were the play of the defence.
