Nothing is written in stone, but the Sardis Falcons football program is anticipating there will be a full-fledged high school season in 2021.
A schedule has been released and the team begins formal practices Aug. 23.
New head coach Sukh Parmar said they are still waiting on 100 per cent approval from BC School Sports and he “hopes that comes real soon.”
After fielding a varsity (senior) squad in 2018 and 2019, the school plans to add a junior varsity team in 2021.

The junior varsity team will play in a five-team AAA Pacific division, minus Eric Hamber and Frank Hurt, which don’t have JV teams.
