The Huron Heights Warriors High School football program is the gold standard in the York Region Athletic Association in many areas, ranging from its enthusiastic booster club’s backing and fund-raising efforts to a wildly successful on-field program with a rabid approach and plenty of trimmings.
But when your cheerleading squad out numbers your player roster, well, now you’re talking commitment at a whole new level. The warriors have 45 cheer squad members compared to 35 footballers. Forty-five! That almost doubles the entire roster for some YRAA high school football teams.

Things on today’s to-worry-about list:
With school back in session, the high school football season is not far off.
It’s great to note the defending Metro Bowl champion Huron Heights Warriors are ranked 11th in the canadianfootballchat.com rankings and fourth among teams in Ontario, according to the online watchdog of Canadian football.
For whatever reason pre-season high school football polls are worth, give CFC credit for effort. However, it is disturbing no other YRAA teams crack the top 50 of CFC’s findings.
That isn’t to fault CFC in any way. It is, however, cause for concern for anyone looking toward a competitive season within YRAA senior ranks, where, if there is a challenger to the Warriors, it’ll be news. Truthfully, it would seem the Warriors program is light years ahead of anyone else entering this season, with no intention to look back.
It is not difficult to foresee a bunch of highly one-sided games on the horizon.
