Well I've finished editing the images, and it was a difficult album to put together. Ordinarily, the images portray the joy, grace and humility that all of our players bring to the game, today's album wasn't as fun, but almost more impressive in that it shows the grit, determination and desire that our team had. They wanted it, they were willing to fight with everything they had for every inch gained, but at the end of the day this tough and impressive team that they faced to...ok the day. I have to give it to the St'Paul's club, the turnout was great, the field prep was as good as it could be and their team was just good. Gold medal good. There is no tarnish on that silver that our boys got though, when it came to heart and guts, I think they took the day. Thank you to the parents who came out, thank you to the parents who have written such eloquent, touching posts about our coaching staff, our volunteers and most of all our players. Standing on the sidelines yesterday after the game was done, what brought a tear to my eye was not the sorrow I could see in every player's expression, but the pride I felt for each and every one of you. Raiders are football, Raiders are the best. See more

Good morning Lacombe Bantam Raiders! As I reflect from yesterday and our loss I have many emotions come to mind. First of all the Lacombe Minor Football has a ...fantastic program. Right from the Chargers to Explosion to Raiders! The coaches and the board are instilling not only skill, development, leadership, team but the love of football! I have listened to my son learn the game all the way from learning positions, his job on the field to plays, technical and positioning. I am sure there is more but I don't know the game well enough. As many of you know me I just know its important to get an over the line(touch down) and it through the forky things(conversion kick), see even I have learned and grown! Raider football will always be something to remember. It really is a family! The day to day things don't just happen. From the people who work the sticks week after week, our announcer, concession, pamphlet maker, nurse taking care of the kids, coaches, food and the kids on the field providing the best entertainment! Watching our team play, win or lose, really is great entertainment! Better than going to the movies! The Knip family make it possible. Fred is a one of a kind coach. He coaches with love in his heart and football on his mind. With his boys right by his side sharing/teaching his love of coaching and the game! What a great combination! Dita, who opens her home weekly to provide more than food. She shares love of her family and helps the boys learn what its like to be a TEAM. Thank you Knips for the life time of memories! The Park Family

Coach Fred:Hey Team: One more practice! One more road trip! One more sleep over! 48 minutes! One play at a time!! Good luck in St.Paul!!!

Best game yet, everyone played their best game. The blocks were bang on, the runs were epic, was proud of every single player out there. I have to apologize, due to some card errors I didn't get some of the shots i would have liked, if I missed your bangin hit or your play saving tackle I'm sorry. Hope I didn't though!

48-21, another epic Raiders win!! Off to provincial finals for our team. Pictures are coming

Sadly this is my last year as a Lacombe Raiders dad, so if anyone would like to take on the admin of our page, please let me know and I'll figure out how to add you.
