Steve and Brenda Cassidy recently purchased a $10,000 scoreboard for the 11U South Diamond with their company, Riverside Electric, completing the labour portion of the project a couple of weeks ago.

The couple, who are still involved in the daily operations of Riverside Electric, said that this has allowed them to give back to the community, with Swift Current Minor Baseball being the beneficiary in this instance.

When the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association decided to extend its high school competitive golf season into the spring, opportunities arose for youth golfers to get involved in the game during a key season. As a result, Humboldt Collegiate has been hosting a High School Spring Golf Tournament.

The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings started the preparations for the future on Tuesday as they took part in the 2025 SJHL Draft. The team would have five selections – two in the 2010-born draft, and three in the 2009-born draft, including two local players.

Head coach Cam Williams praised his team’s complete performance.

“The guys obviously came ready to play," Williams said after the game. "Coming off the off day and a tough week last week… it was good to kind of take a breath and enjoy this one.”

The Swift Current 57's and Regina Red Sox waited until well into the night to make the call but eventually postponed their WCBL game last night due to the smoke.

The two clubs are scheduled to play again tonight, but this time in Regina. 

The 57's are back home Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.
