There were two questions heading into last Friday’s showdown here between the first-place Muskies and the third-place Dryden Eagles.

With the Muskie senior girls’ basketball team uncharacteristically off to a slow start against the host Kenora Broncos last Thursday, head coach Gord McCabe elected to call a time-out.

Dear sir: This letter is concerning my actions at the Fort Frances Muskie-Dryden Eagle football game on Oct. 22. At the end of the game, I yelled and spiked the ball in the direction of the Dryden team bench. This was wrong. In no way can my actions be justified […]
Dear sir: After spending two days of my time (Saturday and Sunday) working with a small group of volunteers, building a mile of snowmachine trail to circumvent a problem area, I came home to the news that the brain dead management of the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) has […]
Will the real Muskie senior boys’ volleyball team please stand up? Is it the talented squad that can beat you with an array of powerful hits from the power or middle positions, or the one that folds like a cheap tent? Head coach Adrian Chapman, desperately searching for answers with […]
Matthew Smith finished in second place in the boys’ three-km race at the 28th-annual Mid-Canada Legion Elementary School cross-country showdown Saturday at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay. Smith, who attends Our Lady of the Way School in Stratton, crossed the finish line in a time of 12:53–just 11 seconds behind […]
The afternoon began with the Muskie senior football team smashing a pumpkin bearing the #20 on the sidelines in reference to stopping Byron McKenzie, the Dryden Eagles’ star running back.
