The Salmon Arm Pee Wee Colts played hard and with heart Sunday versus Vernon.
Vernon wound up taking the game in a 32-0 sweep. But Colts coach Jerrit Lindgren is extremely proud of the team and how they played.
“We lost the game but our players displayed an extreme amount of heart, which you don’t see very often at this age level,” said Lindgren. “We suffered quite a few injuries and, at one point were down to 13 players, which meant only one player could sub off at a time.
“All of our players stayed positive and walked off the field with their heads held high.”
Sunday was the last league game for the Colts, who finish the season in third place. Playoffs begin this Sunday for the team, who have a bye for the first weekend, and will face off against the Kelowna Lions on Nov. 10.
