Muskies Football to Continue

There will be more football played at Fort Frances high school.

Coaches, players, parents and school officials meet yesterday afternoon to discuss the program after the Muskies cancelled their last game due to a lack of available bodies.

Coach Andrew George says it's the players themselves who helped keep the program going.

"Players really stepped up big and went out and recruited about 15 guys," says George. "On their part, they showed a lot of leadership during these tough times and we're really proud of their effort."

George says they now could use some additional support on the sidelines.

"We need to have more people to help out. We need to train coaches to get them at the level we need to be competitive. We just don't have that right now. We're doing our best with the guys we got and everyone from coaches to players we have have been great."

George says they'll now focus on getting the team prepared for its next game this Thursday in Winnipeg.
