The game was tight with the Titans trailing in the 4th quarter, but with seconds left on the clock, QB Jacob Galbraith sailed one into the end zone for a Titans touchdown. That last minute score tied the Titans and the Marauders, helping the Titans to climb the national rankings.

Titans faced a daunting day of bus travel to the bustling town of Raymond in southern Alberta.

WIN

It’s never an easy match up when the Titans battle the Sabres. This matchup was no different.

It was close, but the Titans finished their Metro Athletics Carr division 2022 season undefeated.

WIN

For teh 3rd time in the 2022 season and the 2nd time in less than a month, the Titans kicked off their Provincial Playoff run against Sherwood Park’s Salisbury Sabres. The Titans didn’t lose any momentum in making it a hat-trick of wins against Sal this season.

The 2022 Football Season ended the same way that it started: Titans vs. Raymond Comets. Well, sort of. The Titans defense had a very different look in this game than in the others. The team swapped their 4-man front for a 3 man version to add pass protection in the secondary, however confusion and a lack of pressure on the Raymond QB allowed Raymond to take a commanding lead in hte first half. The 2nd half brought more success as we saw the Titans revert to a 4-3 defense with some personnel changes that slowed down the Comets. Missed catches and lost opportunities plagued the offense throughout the game and the Titans succumbed to an athletic and well coached Raymond team.

Defeated.
