After years of high and low swings in terms of popularity, the local skeet club is finding itself taking a serious aim for new members. The club, which holds its shoots on the grounds of the Sportsmen’s Club property at Frog Creek each Tuesday night, only has six members these […]
Picked up by the Kegel Coors Light team from Fargo for the North American Fastball Association ‘A’ World Series last week, John Desaulniers just wanted a chance to showcase his talents. Desaulniers got that chance and the right-hander from Pinewood took full advantage of it, leading Kegel to a second-place […]
As the Muskies head over for Friday night’s exhibition contest against the International Falls Broncos, there’s no question the black-and-gold will have to be dominant on defence if they hope to win. In running rampant over the St. Paul’s Crusaders here last Saturday, crushing the Winnipeg squad 53-30, there’s no […]
Coaches often look for a first good offensive series to help everyone get in sync and set the tone for the game. The Muskies had that good series–in fact, needing just one play–in which Terry LaBelle scampered 82 yards for a major on the first hand-off from starting quarterback Gary […]
The Fort Frances Gymnastics Academy will spring into action for another season under a new head coach and additional programs designed for both youngsters and adults. Being introduced for the first time this fall is an adult program, designed for anyone aged 16 and over, to come out and use […]

With several veterans lost from last year’s NorWOSSA championship team, Muskie football head coach Bob Swing is going to use Saturday’s exhibition tilt with the St. Paul’s Crusaders as a chance to let his young players gain some valuable experience. And he admitted he’s not too concerned with the outcome. […]
As I motored my Champion 190 out onto the flats of Mille Lacs, I noticed numerous boats anchored or back-trolling along the drop-off areas. This isn’t a bad approach, and many times I look for the edges to find active walleyes. The trouble was most of the boats were not […]
With just a handful of players lost from last season’s Muskie lineup, the black-and-gold will have the luxury of sending out an experienced hockey team this season. But the problem is they lost an abundance of goal-scoring up front with the players who won’t be back. In fact, the Muskies […]
Brian Kosowick got a first-hand look Saturday at some of the golfers who give new meaning to the phrase “driving the ball off the tee.” But while the 19-year-old Kitchen Creek member was amazed at how far some of them could drive the ball, he didn’t look out of place […]
