Hugh Boyd Trojans will dive right into conference play when they open their high school football schedule Saturday against the Seaquam Seahawks in North Delta.
Last month’s B.C. teachers labour dispute delayed the start of Boyd’s campaign by four weeks and ultimately wiped out their exhibition schedule. However, they have had a full two weeks of practice to prepare for their opener. The Seahawks went 0-3 in non-conference play, including a 31-13 loss to GW Graham last week.
Boyd will then play three straight home games, starting Oct. 10 when Moscrop is in town at 7:30 p.m. Frank Hurt follows a week later and Holy Cross visits on Halloween for a 6 p.m. kick.
The Trojans’ junior varsity team begins its season Oct. 15.
