3A

The first game played on Saturday saw Lloydminster’s Holy Rosary Raiders beat the Cochrane Cobras 22-3 in the 3A final.

The Raiders exacted a measure of revenge on the Cobras, as Cochrane won the title over the Raiders in six straight seasons, from 2015-2021.

The Lloydminster school has now won three titles in a row and advanced to a championship game for 11 straight seasons.

Titans quarterback George Arbez ran for three touchdowns and threw for one more.

Football Alberta says this is the sixth championship for Harry Ainley since provincials were first held in 1985.
