Deana Mainil and Doug Loden watch as Doug's ball rolls close to the pin, then unfortunately away from it, during a putting contest at the Weyburn Golf Course on Sunday.

When she first took up the sport of wrestling it never occurred to Tianna Kennett of Manor she would be where she is today. Over the years, developing a love of the sport, Kennett quickly excelled.

There were a lot of encouraging plays by the Estevan Sherritt Coal Miners in the second half on Sunday, but the damage had already been done.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Estevan Century 21 Chargers were very much in it against the Regina South Griffins. The game quickly unravelled for them after that en route to a 52-0 loss on Sunday.

The process of determining their roster for the opening night of the SJHL regular season continues for the Estevan Bruins, with the team making some cuts after hosting a pre-season tournament at Affinity Place on the weekend.

The bulls and horses bucked, the steers scampered, the cowboys roped and the cowgirls raced. The annual Estevan Rodeo, sanctioned by the Canadian Cowboys Association, went ahead on the weekend at the exhibition grounds.

Estevan's Auriel Bill has travelled the world for various water polo experiences, but her most recent tops them all. Bill, 18, was part of the Canadian team that won silver at the FINA World Women's Youth Championship in Madrid Aug. 25-31.

The game couldn't have started on a much better note for the Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs on Saturday.

On Aug. 22, American drivers swept the three track championships at Estevan Motor Speedway. A week later, the Canadians headed south and returned the favour.

It is billed as the largest pool tournament in the world and it certainly was unlike anything the Tap House Wolves had seen before.
