Friday Night Lights keeps Kamloops high school football tradition alive
KAMLOOPS — It’s a cross-river rivalry that’s been going on for forty years or more. Last night, the Westsyde Blue Wave welcomed the SKSS Titans to Westsyde Secondary field for the fifth annual Friday Night Lights game.
The annual game can draw upwards of 2000 fans out on a chilly fall evening. For some WSS alumni, it’s an opportunity to relive their glory days.
“I graduated here in ’79,” Andy Collins told CFJC Today. “I played two years of senior and two years of junior football here at the great Westsyde. The fact that we get all the guys who have been here since day one, everyone comes out to support. Westsyde is a great community, and the football programs all over Kamloops are outstanding.”
