he first high school football game in decades will take place Thursday at 6 p.m. Exhibition Field as the G.W. Graham Grizzlies junior varsity squad takes on the Robert Bateman Timberwolves. After dropping their opener last week 24-0 to the number-one ranked team in the province, the Mission secondary Roadrunners, the Grizzlies have learned what it will take to compete at the high school level, according to head coach Laurie Smith. “Our practices have been getting much better,” he said. “I’m confident that we’ve got the right attitude and the right work ethic.” Ranked fifth in the province, Robert Bateman is no slouch, but Smith said his team should be able to give them a run for their money. “We’re looking to win, obviously, and either way it will be a very competitive game,” he said.

One thing’s certain: There is no shortage of anticipation for the game. “We’ve been telling them that this is basically their Super Bowl,” Smith said. “This is the first high school football game in 30 years. It’s a big deal and it’s the first time all their family and friends and kids from school will be watching them. “I know that the kids are excited and also nervous about it,” he continued. “There’s a lot of chatter on Facebook about how excited they are.” Smith is hoping for a large crowd for the game, but admits that he doesn’t quite know what to expect. “ I ’v e g o t m y f i n g e r s c r o s s e d t h a t i t ’s a b i g crowd,” he said. “ We’ve been promoting it for weeks and months so we’re hoping for the best.” ◗ Kickoff is at 6 p.m. at Exhibition Field. Admission is $3 for adults, $2 for students and children. There will be a pre-game tailgate party and half-time entertainment.
