It was a perfect night weather wise in Watrous for football and it turned out to be a perfect evening on the scoreboard for the Watrous Wildcats as they defeated the Assiniboia Rockets 54-12 in six-man high school football action. 

With the victory, the Wildcats moved into second place in the conference standings and above the .500 mark (3-2).  

Last season, the Moose Jaw Warriors ran the table through the U.S. Division, winning all six games on their late season road trip.

Now, the Warriors will be looking to play spoiler against the Everett Silvertips, who have won six straight, including all four on their East Division road trip so far, coming into Friday’s showdown at the Hangar.

The Cochrane Cobras are in for some stiffer competition after advancing to the semifinals of the RVS divisional playoffs.

Last night, the Cobras cruised to a 5-1 win over the W. H. Croxford Cavaliers on the Ranger pitch in quarterfinal play.

That paved the way to Tuesday's (Oct. 15) game at the Park for All Seasons in Springbank against the powerhouse Phoenix squad.

The Phoenix were undefeated in the regular season and beat the Cobras 8-0 in their regular season matchup. The two teams have a rivalry that goes back years, and the scale has tipped back-and-forth.

The Red Deer Polytechnic (RDP) Kings Hockey team is looking to make program history in 2024/2025 with sights on winning its third consecutive Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) gold medal.

The Humboldt Broncos will try shake off a loss earlier this week to the Estevan Bruins as they renew acquaintances with a Nutrien Division rival in the Battlefords North Stars. 

On Friday, the two teams will meet in North Battleford for the first time in the 2024-25 regular season and will face off on Saturday night for a rematch at the Elgar Petersen Arena.  

The Portage Terriers will take on another opponent for the first time this season with a matchup against the Swan Valley Stampeders. After sweeping the season series last year, Portage looks to even up their record this year with another win.

Swan Valley has had a slow start to the season this year, only one win in eight games thus far and only 14 goals to their credit.

The Humboldt Broncos are pleased to announce the signing of Humboldt native, 2007 born goaltender, Brady Holtvogt.

Holtvogt was assigned to the Broncos from the WHL’s Prince George Cougars who drafted him 116th overall in the 2022 WHL draft.

Holtvogt finished his minor league career with the Prince Albert Mintos last year, accumulating a 17-8-0 record, 2.54 GAA, and .906 SV%. He also got his first taste of SJHL action back in 2022-23, where he suited up for 30 minutes during one of the Broncos final games that season.

The Estevan Minor Football's U14 Oilers have wrapped up their regular season, but the team isn't done on the field just yet. After winning their match last week against the Swift Current Steelers 52-0, the team finished with a 5-1 record, pushing the team to the top of the playoff bracket. Head Coach Chris Pfeifer says this is a first for the team. 

The Moose Jaw Warriors are at the Hangar tonight against the visiting Everett Silvertips. Tomorrow, the Warriors head to Saskatoon for a matchup with the Blades
