Racers are gearing up as the Estevan Motor Speedway is setting up the start line ahead of their 2025 season. That's opening up on May 3rd, when the speedway will host their opening night, featuring races in all classes.

President Brad Pierson says they've got plenty of work to do before the season moves forward.

After securing the second three-peat in franchise history last year, the Okotoks Dawgs are feeling confident for the 2025 season. 

The Dawgs home opener game is tomorrow (May 31), with the first pitch flying at 7:05 p.m., at Seaman Stadium. 

William Gardner, VP of Promotions said topping the 2024 season will take some doing, but the organization has the coaching staff and the athletes to make it happen. 

The Estevan Motor Speedway is back on track following a cancellation during their last race day, with Saturday set to hold a number of races. President Brad Pierson says they're getting back in action with plenty of competitors heading to the track this weekend.

"We have all five classes this weekend. On top of that, MNP is our race night sponsor. It's also our first responder night, where if you're a first responder of any of our local police, fire, or ambulance, you get in free for this one."

It’s the final test run for the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Friday as they meet the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the last preseason game. 

Last week, the Blue Bombers prevailed in the battle of field goals 15-9.  

With most of the starters with the green and white playing last week in Winnipeg, Roughriders Head Coach Corey Mace will get a chance to assess the depth of the roster this week.  

The 18U AAA East Central Red Sox are back at the .500 mark following an 11-1 win over the Sask Five Marlins on Thursday night in Muenster.  

Following a scoreless first inning, the Red Sox rattled off 11 over the next four innings, including four runs in both the 4th and 5th innings.  

Graydn Wilson led the offensive charge at the plate as he ended up with five RBIs, three hits, including a home run. 

High River's Jason Glass is off to another outstanding start to the WPCA chuckwagon season.

He finished first on the opening night on Wednesday and came in second last night and now sits second in the aggregate.

Wednesday night's second-place finisher, Jamie Laboucane, had a No Time so is out of the running for Sunday's $40,000 Dash for Cash final.  

The same goes for the 2023 Stompede Champion Chanse Vigen, as he had a No Time on opening night.

Blackie's Jordie Fike is also having one of the best starts to the season in several years.

The CobraCats girls rugby team is heading to the 15s zone final on Monday after a dramatic win over the Holy Trinity Knights in a game that came down to the final play.

Trailing late in the second half, the CobraCats battled back downfield. On the last play of the game, Livi Poulin scored the game-winning try, and Sophia Marrello added the conversion to give Cochrane a 26–20 victory.

The Regina Chaos came to Weyburn Thursday night looking for their first win of the season. They would score three early goals to take the lead, and that would be the difference as they held on to beat the Completely Branded RentPro Razorbacks 7-5 at the Tom Zandee Sports Arena.  

With the loss, the Razorbacks are now 1-5 on the season, as are the Chaos, with both teams looking to move up the standings into 4th place and a playoff spot. 

The Moose Jaw Miller Express were outscored 13-10 in Medicine Hat last night in their first game of the new Western Canadian Baseball League season. 

The Millers' home opener is tonight at Ross Wells Park versus the Saskatoon Berries who were shutout 9-0 by the Beavers in Weyburn last night.

Also, last evening, the Regina Red Sox blasted Swift Current 11-1.

The Weyburn Beavers couldn’t have asked for a better start to the 2025 WCBL season, dominating the Saskatoon Berries 9–0 in their home opener Thursday night at Tom Laing Park.
