Cochrane football players will suit up for three Alberta teams this summer following an extensive selection process by Football Alberta.
Cochrane Cobra Tyler Clazie has been named to the receiving corps of Alberta’s U18 squad for the Football Canada Cup. Fellow Cobra Evan Samoleski also made the team as a defensive back but is sidelined by injury.
Three other Cobras were in the running after advancing to the Top 100 camp held in Red Deer in May.
This year’s Football Canada Cup runs July 12 to 20 in Antigonish, N.S.
