Panthers move up to AAA in High School Football
Year four of Dynasty is Destiny
The impossible can be accomplished with impressive regularity by those with vision and the moxie to take on challenges which many others decline, miracles however, sometimes take a little longer, and in the case of the Laval Liberty High School Football program, three years, to be exact.
Fresh off an undefeated season in AA high school football, in which they won ten regular season-games, two playoff games and the Bol d’Or crowning them provincial champions, the Laval Liberty Panthers are moving up to AAA action, where they will take on the cream of the crop in an effort to claim their rightful place in Quebec High School Football.
Reaffirming the theme of his school’s Sports/Study Program that Dynasty is Destiny, Laval Liberty High School principal Eric Ruggi made the announcement at a recent press conference that attracted a who’s who of Laval dignitaries from several sectors, including representatives from Ville de Laval, the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board, the business community, the Montreal Alouettes, and of course the Laval Liberty High School Community, with administrators, teachers, coaches, parents and naturally – the entire roster of the AA provincial champion Panthers Football team.
