September 22, 2025 Season Update: AIRDRIE DOMINATING THE GRIDIRON: Bantam Raiders and Peewee Storm Undefeated at Midseason As the football season hits its midpoint, the Airdrie football community has plenty to cheer about. Both the Bantam Raiders and the Peewee Storm are undefeated, commanding attention across the Calgary area with not just wins but dominant, lopsided victories that signal these teams are legitimate championship contenders. Bantam Raiders: Statement Season in the Making Through five weeks, the Airdrie Bantam Raiders are a perfect 5–0, outscoring their opponents by a staggering 199 to 22. That’s an average of nearly 40 points per game, while giving up less than 5. Led by Head Coach Steve Kemp, the Raiders have developed a well-rounded identity. Physical in the trenches, disciplined on defense, and explosive on offense. It’s not just about the scorelines, either. From all accounts, this is a team that executes the fundamentals well, minimizes turnovers, and plays fast, smart football. The CBFA Podcast has highlighted Airdrie’s "control of tempo and execution" as a key difference-maker, particularly as other teams in the Calgary Bantam Football Association (CBFA) have struggled to string consistent performances together. Simply put, the Raiders have been imposing their will on every field they step on. With tougher matchups looming and playoff seeding on the line, the challenge now becomes staying sharp and hungry. A test for any undefeated team entering the back half of the season. Peewee Storm: Thunder Rolls Over Opponents Not to be outdone, the Airdrie Storm Peewee squad is also making noise, and a lot of it. Four weeks into their season, they sit at 4–0 and have outscored opponents by an eye-popping margin of 184 to 13. That kind of production speaks to dominance on both sides of the ball. Offensively, they’re a scoring machine. Defensively, nearly impenetrable. Head Coach Tyrell Rohl has emphasized development, sportsmanship, and balanced play values that are clearly paying off. Program Strength Reflected Across the Board The success of both teams speaks volumes about the strength of the Airdrie Minor Football Association overall. With structured programs, experienced coaching, and a growing player base, Airdrie football is carving out a reputation as a powerhouse in youth football circles. The culture being built from Atom to Peewee to Bantam is focused on fundamentals, accountability, and team-first play. It’s showing on the scoreboard, but more importantly, in the way these teams carry themselves week in and week out. What’s Next? With the regular season entering its critical stretch, both the Raiders and the Storm will face new challenges tougher opponents, playoff pressure, and the ever-present threat of complacency. But if the first half of the season is any indication, these Airdrie squads are not just winning games they’re setting the standard. Expect packed sidelines, big plays, and maybe, just maybe a couple of championship banners by season’s end.
