Flatlanders Speedway held their August races this past weekend with two days of circle-track action west of Kindersley.

The Prairie Dirt Racing Association was in Kindersley for their latest tour stop, upping the car count in each of the hobbystocks, streetstocks, kid mod, and modifieds division. Those classes joined the Flatlanders usuals of run your junk, truckstock, mini-sprints, and the ever-competitive legends division.

High River's Jason Glass won the Battle of the Rockies on Sunday in Rocky Mountain House.

Glass even set a new track record on the final day of chuckwagon races for the season with a time of 1:12.25.

However, it was Calgary's Chanse Vigen who took the World Chuckwagon Championship for the third consecutive year, which ties a WPCA record.

The Regina Red Sox are Western Canadian Baseball League champions, claiming their third title in franchise history with a thrilling comeback series win over the Sylvan Lake Gulls.

For the third straight time at the Canada Summer Games, Team Saskatchewan has finished on the podium in Men's Baseball. 

Saskatchewan earned the bronze medal on Saturday with a 4-2 win over Prince Edward Island (PEI).  

Muenster’s Cade Britz had an RBI and scored a run in the win.  

All of the runs in the game came in the first two innings.  

A sold-out crowd at Mosaic Stadium on Saturday was treated to another dominating performance from the Saskatchewan Roughriders as the Green and White hammered the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 29-9. 

Saskatchewan sits alone on top of the Canadian Football League (CFL) standings at 8-1.  

The Saskatchewan Roughriders put in a complete effort on Saturday afternoon to beat the Hamilton Tiger Cats 29-9, improving their CFL best record to 8-1 in front of a packed house at Mosaic Stadium in Regina.

Coming off a bye week, the Roughriders got off to a slow start allowing the Tiger Cats to drive the field twice in the opening quarter. Those drives thankfully only resulted in field goals as Saskatchewan exercised some bend-but-don't-break defense for a 6-1 score after the first.

After an incredible, and memorable few days, the U15 Central Energy captured silver at nationals, earning them the right to call themselves the second best softball team for their age in the country.

An all-time team

After an incredible weekend, the U15 Eastman Wildcats finished 4th at nationals this past weekend in Winkler and Morden.

"Oh man, it was a great last five days," coach Russ Kihn says proudly. "The girls played great. I'm really proud of them to get to where they got. Being fourth in the country is absolutely fantastic, it's something you don't get to experience very often, and I'm totally proud of the girls played. I'm so happy for them."

Tough athletically and mentally

Mainprize Regional Park was filled with support, community spirit, and remembrance as over 160 golfers took part in the Forever 41 Texas Scramble Golf Tournament in memory of Arie Schimmel.

Michelle Walsh, general manager of Mainprize, said the day was about both honouring Arie and shining a light on an important cause.

“Today, we are remembering Arie Schimmel in a Forever 41, Texas Scramble Golf Tournament,” Walsh explained. “It’s to celebrate him and bring awareness to mental health and suicide. It’s really a day for his family, his friends, and the community.”
