As the world turns its attention to the Olympics, many in Saskatchewan are turning their attention to Meadow Lake, as the Saskatchewan Summer Game are set to begin.

Nine strokes under par is what it took to be crowned the 2012 Saskatchewan Amateur Men's Championship winner last week in Yorkton.

The 3D Outdoor Provincial Championship was hosted by the Battle River Archers on the weekend and after two days of taking aim, the winners were crowned. Rachel Diehl won the pre-cub female division with a 647 score.

It was three games, three wins for the Marysburg Royals last week. The Royals senior baseball team took on the Saskatoon Outlaws in their first game of the week. Behind a complete game from Luke Strueby, the Royals won by a score of 3-2.

They will bring glory to the region. A group of talented young athletes from the Humboldt region will be headed to the 2012 Saskatchewan Summer Games in Meadow Lake July 29 to August 4.

The Bruno Merchants fastball team won the 2012 Softball Saskatchewan Senior "B" Men's Provincial Championship Draw held July 20-22 in Saskatoon.

The final four teams remaining in the North Saskatchewan River Baseball League wasted no time in setting up their semifinal schedules.

The 12-2 Meadow Lake White Sox and 12-2 Lloydminster Meridian Twins both grabbed 1-0 series leads in the North Saskatchewan River Baseball League's semifinals Monday evening. The Twins hosted Unity and cruised to a 12-2 win.

After missing a week because of rain, 42 golfers from the New Horizons were out to play Monday. Jutta and Lyle Whitbread along with Don Dill and Brian Miller topped the scoring and came in at one under par.
