Football is back, and the Gridders kicked off the spring season with a 48-0 win against Weyburn over the weekend.
 
Jason Boyda, the head coach of the spring football team, said though it was nice to get the win, it was even better to see the kids out there playing the game.
 
“It was electrifying. Twenty months that these kids put in the time and the effort. Banging and clanging in the weight room, being at practice, and following the guidelines.”
 
“It’s about time,” Boyda continued. “Time is the ultimate thief; that’s something you can never get back. You can always make money, but you never get back time, so we stayed ready, so we don’t have to get ready, and hats off to the kids for buying to that philosophy.”
 
To follow the schedule and results for spring football, you can visit Yorkton Minor Football’s website or follow them on Facebook or Instagram. 
 
Boyda adds that the spring football team will have their first home game on June 25.
