Estevan

The U14 Estevan Oilers secured a statement win over the Weyburn Falcons this weekend, avenging their only loss of the season with a commanding 28-1 victory. The Oilers' grit and adaptability were on full display, as the team overcame a short roster to dominate their Highway 39 rivals.

“We ended up winning the game 28 to one, it was very hard-fought game for both sides,” said Christian Pfiefer, head coach of the Oilers. Adding that the team once again showcased their resiliency.

Estevan was on the list of communities hit by a wind warning yesterday, with heavy gusts being reported across the prairies.

That whipped up wind drastically, with more southern areas such as Estevan the worst hit.

That came in thanks to a system which developed over the day, explains Environment Canada Meteorologist Danielle Desjardins.
