Quarterback Jon Caul tossed two touchdown passes and scored another on the ground Saturday in Winnipeg–not too shabby considering he only played just over half the game.

Muskie head coach Bob Swing said Saturday’s exhibition game in Winnipeg against the St. Paul’s Crusaders will be just that–a chance for players to exhibit their skills to the black-and-gold coaching staff.

The Muskie girls’ alumni soccer team took advantage of a strong first-half wind to score three times–all by forward Keira Main–in a 4-1 victory here Friday night over last season’s squad. The wind seemed to dictate the territorial play at the Westfort field, with the alumni squad controlling field position […]
It doesn’t hurt to surf the ’Net when you’re looking for summer athletic camps. Just ask Karen Harris of Crozier., a six foot tall athlete of here, would certainly agree. Harris, 17 and standing six feet tall, spent a fair portion of her summer attending a volleyball camp in Nebraska […]
