Local Sports

Like a perfect hand in bridge, a royal flush in poker, or a four-minute mile, there are milestones in any sport that make heads turn.

Southeast Regional College will be hosting its 12th annual Swing for Scholarships golf tournament on Friday, September 17 at the Weyburn Golf Club.

The Weyburn Soccer Association held their awards evening on August 26; those honoured are as follows: Scotiabank Coaches Award: under-10 Mini Red Devils Morgan Sidloski; under-12 Lil' Red Devils Lacey Happ; under-14 Jr.

Carlyle is going to be one of 45 communities across Canada to offer a new CanSkate pilot program this fall. The pilot program will focus on progressing through stages at a skater's own pace by building on each skill as it is learned.

GULP! The Saskatchewan Roughriders were forced to swallow their pride Saturday night after coughing up a 14-0 lead and losing 17-14 to the cellar-dwelling Edmonton Eskimos before a CFL season-high crowd of 47,829 fans.

Three new Grade 10 students at the Weyburn Comprehensive School pick up their Phys. Ed clothing as part of the registration process on Thursday morning, as all schools were open to start a new school year.

Roster spots will be hard to come by when the Estevan Bruins open their training camp on Friday.

Sandwiched between two winless Estevan minor football teams - the atom Miners and the bantam Steelers - and coming off a winless season of their own in 2009, the fact that the peewee Chargers are 3-0 is quite a feat.

For most kids growing up in Canada, especially Saskatchewan, the childhood dream is pretty cut and dried: to play hockey on the world stage, to be a leading scorer and to win a gold medal.

Someday, someone ought to make a movie about the Estevan Comprehensive School and Estevan Minor Football programs.
