WOLFVILLE, NS - When Adam Melanson started playing minor football with the Valley Bulldogs in 2004, he couldn't look forward to even a high school football career here in the Valley.
There simply weren't any Valley schools that played football. A high school student with dreams of playing university football had no choice but to transfer to one of the Nova Scotia high schools, mostly in Metro Halifax, that played the sport.
That changed in 2007, when Horton and Avon View took the plunge into high school football, followed by Central Kings, Northeast Kings and West Kings, making a total of five Valley schools that now have busy football programs.
