A mix of Grade 10 to 12 students make up the Rockets’ 2024 roster.

ASSINIBOIA — Brian Ruthven, Head Coach of the Assiniboia Composite High School Rockets Football, says their team began practices the last week of August.

“Our season will kick off in week one with a home game on Sept. 6 versus Watrous.”

Ruthven said the team is made up of 20 players that include a mix of Grade 12s to Grade 10s.

Rockets football will be facing off in their conference against Watrous, Clavet and Davidson, making for some longer travel time during their season.

The ACHS football coach says the team is hopeful to include a Friday night lights game on Oct. 4, playing Davidson.

Rockets football home games start at 4 p.m.

The team will be doing their annual Rockets community coupon book sale to help fundraise for the team.

The 2023 Rockets football season ended with the team tied for second in conference with a 3-3 record.

The June extracurricular awards at ACHS included Rockets football players. Langston Gold received the MVP award for his speed and elusiveness throughout games and the Most Coachable award was given to Nick Nelson for his positive attitude and how he put his heart into everything he did for the team.

The hometown team always appreciates fans in the stands and support of their season. You can follow the team on their Facebook page.
