With the Muskie junior girls’ basketball team showing a strong ability to handle the more simplistic defensive systems in the early going of the season, head coach Gord McCabe decided to make a change. He elected to go with a new 1-2-2 zone press–much more complicated than most junior teams […]
Fresh off a solid second-place finish at a tournament in Atikokan over the weekend, the Muskie senior boys’ volleyball team continued its winning ways yesterday afternoon with a victory over the Dryden Eagles in NorWOSSA action here. The Muskies had little trouble beating the Eagles, decimated by the loss of […]
If you take a new rink that just began practising together a week before an event and put it up against some of the top curlers in Canada and the U.S., you shouldn’t expect the best of results. And there weren’t any this past weekend for the Raymond Roy foursome […]
There were a lot of happy hunters in the area as moose and deer season opened earlier this month–which didn’t surprise the local Ministry of Natural Resources. “It seemed to be hot and cold,” Dave Saunders, MNR’s acting enforcement supervisor, said Friday morning. “It depended on where you were but […]

After weeks of hard work and several losses along the way, the Muskie ‘C’ football team finally did something they hadn’t done all season. They won a football game. The Muskies drubbed the International Falls Broncos ‘C’ team 26-0 in an exhibition game here last Friday afternoon. Head coach Rob […]
It’s a unit that doesn’t get the attention the offence or defence does. In fact, the only time you notice it is when a glaring mistake is made to give up a big play. But the Muskies’ 23-0 shutout over the Kenora Broncos here last Thursday was keyed by special […]
The Muskies senior boys’ volleyball did their most recent “Jekyll & Hyde” impression last Wednesday in a NorWOSSA showdown against visiting Kenora. Only this time, the good side of the Muskies finished the best-of-five match to earn a 3-2 come-from-behind victory and even their NorWOSSA record at 2-2. After dropping […]
The Muskie senior girls’ basketball team sits atop NorWOSSA with a perfect 4-0 record midway through the season after their most recent victory–a 41-28 decision over the Kenora Broncos here last Wednesday. Head coach Gord McCabe hasn’t been seen smiling this much–at least on the basketball court–for quite some time. […]
There was no place like home turf for cross-country runners from Crossroads School in Devlin last week.
