Village Christian, Calgary Team to Play 2-Game Series in Football

Village Christian High has signed a contract to play football with a Canadian high school this year and next. The 1991 game will be played under Canadian rules.

Village Christian, a Southern Section Division IX school in the Alpha League, will play host to St. Mary’s of Calgary on Sept. 15 at Kennedy High in a game played under U. S. rules. The Crusaders are scheduled to play at Calgary under Canadian rules.

“I figured we had to do something innovative, since everyone else is going to Hawaii,” Crusader Coach Mike Plaisance quipped. Another Alpha League member, Montclair Prep, is one of four area teams scheduled to open the ’90 season in Hawaii.

Village Christian’s contract was arranged through the Southern Section office, which received an inquiry from St. Mary’s, a private school with an enrollment of 950.
