Redemption is on the minds of the Winston High School Wildcats football team in Watrous as they begin the 2024 season.  

The Wildcats provincial championship hopes were dashed in the 2A 6-Man Provincial Final last year against Clavet.  

Last week, the team began practicing ahead of their first game in Assiniboia on Friday, September 5. 

The Bruno Merchants are competing in the 2024 National Mens Fast Pitch Championships in Saskatoon at the Gordie Howe Complex this week.

Bruno's record at the tournament dropped to 0-2 on Thursday afternoon following a 16-0 loss to the Bear Creek Express.

With childcare a big need in the community, another option will soon be added in Humboldt. 

On Wednesday, the Prairie Roots Early Learning Centre held their grand opening which included a ribbon cutting ceremony, a fundraising BBQ, and a chance for some children to get a firsthand look at some of the toys and activities that will be offered. 

The Wynyard Bears football team have begun their quest for a six-man provincial championship. 

Last Thursday, the team started practices leading up to their first game.  

Head Coach Ryan Peterson has been pleased with the early efforts from his squad.  

The Bruno Merchants are in Saskatoon for the 2024 National Men's Fast Pitch Championships at the Gordie Howe Complex this week. 

They opened with a 2-1 loss to Kitchener this afternoon. 

Coach Ray Bender said the game was decided on a couple of plays.  

If you were waiting to grab a ticket for the 59th annual Labour Day Classic on Sunday in Regina, it's now too late. The Saskatchewan Roughriders announced today that Sunday's matchup with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers is sold out.  

It will be a first-place battle between the two clubs with the Roughriders (5-5-1) leading the Blue Bombers (5-6) and BC Lions (5-6). A win by the Roughriders would clinch the season series against Winnipeg and give the green and white the important tiebreaker. 

Humboldt Fire and Rescue, local RCMP, Humboldt and District Ambulance Service and the local conservation officer are partnering up for the annual Humboldt Emergency Services Charity Golf Tournament on Thursday, September 5 at the Humboldt Golf Course. 

Chief of Protective Services Mike Kwasnica says the proceeds of the tournament will help out some local projects.

The Town of Watrous, Manitou Golf Course and Watrous Winterhawks hockey team are coming together for a great cause. 

Since Winston High School did not receive their grant for their breakfast program, the three organizations have partnered up together to create a raffle with the proceeds going to the breakfast program. 

Recreation Director Chelsea Murfitt says the breakfast program provides an important service.  

School doesn’t start for another week, but class is back in session for the Humboldt Collegiate Institute (HCI) Mohawks Football team. 

The squad began practicing last week, as they begin preparations for a brand-new season that kicks off in less than two weeks.  

Head Coach Eric Anderson is eager for the new campaign to begin, noting that this year’s edition of the Mohawk football team will be a youthful athletic group.
