It was a tough ending to the season for two southwest high school football teams on Saturday.

On the road in Delisle, the Shaunavon Shadows came up just short in the provincial nine-man quarterfinals falling 29-25.

Keagen Richards, Grayson Arendt, Treysen Tetrault, and Kaleb Little scored touchdowns for Shaunavon in a losing cause.

Shaunavon has seven players graduating this year, including all four that scored a touchdown.

Meanwhile, the Swift Current Comp Colts also fell in a close contest in Moose Jaw to the Peacock Tornadoes 14-7.

Hallie Parada scored with 8 seconds to play in regulation and added the shootout winner as the Weyburn Gold Wings beat the Swift Current Innovation Federal Credit Union Wildcats 4-3 on Saturday.

The point from the shootout loss means Swift Current sits tied with Weyburn and Prince Albert for 4th place in the Saskatchewan female U18 AAA hockey league.

Jade Thompson, Kara Bergen and Reece Hawkins scored for the Wildcats as they outshot Weyburn 39-29.

Stevie Christiaens had Swift Current's only goal of the shootout as it went five shooters deep.

Team Alberta scored eight straight times to come from down 4-0 and beat Saskatchewan at the WHL Cup on Saturday.

The win redeems their 5-2 loss to Saskatchewan in round robin, and puts Alberta in the gold medal game against Manitoba.

Saskatchewan will play BC in the bronze medal game on Sunday in Red Deer.

There are five members of the Swift Current Home Hardware Legionnaires playing for Saskatchewan at the tournament for elite 15-year-olds in the four western Canadian provinces. 

Brady Birnie scored his 1st career WHL hat-trick as the Swift Current Broncos finish their five game home-stand with a 7-4 win over the Seattle Thunderbirds Saturday night.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings finished the month of October with just one loss in regulation, coming back on October 4th, after they skated to a 5-3 win over the Melfort Mustangs last night. The win gives the Red Wings points in 10 consecutive games, the only blemish on the streak coming in an overtime loss to the Humboldt Broncos Tuesday. 

Weyburn was led by Ethan Dekay and Jaxson Ruthven, who finished the game with a pair of goals each. Turner McIntyre would also get his first goal of the season in the win. 

Kamloops, B.C. – Brayden Yager and Lynden Lakovic had a goal and three points each, but it wasn’t enough for the Moose Jaw Warriors on Saturday night in Kamloops.

The Warriors fell 6-4 to the Blazers to drop the second game of their five-game road trip through the BC Division.

“I thought the first period and third period were really good, I thought we stuck to what we need to do, we played well, we were structured and did lots of really good things,” Warriors associate coach Scott King said.

The Portage Terriers and Winnipeg Freeze battled it out in a tighter game than most were expecting, with Portage coming out on top 2-1 in overtime. The Terriers came into the game winners of four straight, while the Freeze have only won one game this season.

A quiet first period saw just one entry found the scoresheet. Jacob Michelson would take a cross-checking penalty with 38 seconds remaining in the frame, which the Freeze would not get an opportunity to set up, thanks to a couple nifty clears from Owen Witt.
