Staff The Rainy River Community College Voyageurs’ women’s volleyball team is experiencing some lean times of late. With former Muskie Chelsea Kabatay in the lineup, RRCC first fell 3-1 to the host Hibbing Cardinal (25-14, 25-15, 17-25, and 25-23) in MCAC action back on Sept. 13. Kabatay supplied four kills […]
Staff The Muskie golf team took home-course advantage to a whole new level Friday. With the familiar confines of Kitchen Creek Golf Club providing the backdrop, the black-and-gold obliterated the competition to repeat as the NorWOSSA boys’ team champions. Fort High carded a combined score of 334 to defeat the […]
Staff The number on Tanner Dola’s back (9) matched the amount of Muskies who planned to try and stop him. The scenario did not end well for the black-and-gold. Dola returned a punt 110 yards for a touchdown, with the subsequent convert by kicker Dylan Fathers the difference, in a […]
Staff If this is the sign of things to come, it’s going to be a long season for anyone not named the Muskies when it comes to junior girls’ basketball. The Muskies romped through the four-team field over the weekend to capture their home tournament with a 3-0 record. Fort […]
Staff For most of the first two periods Friday, the Fort Frances Lakers’ winless pre-season was a distant memory. But it all came rushing back by the end of the night–and continued on into Saturday. The Lakers blew a 4-1 lead in falling 5-4 in a shootout to the Thief […]
Staff Not yet, Gillons’. That was the clear statement delivered by defending champion How I Set Your Mother, which took three points off Gillons’ last night in a battle of first-place teams in the Fort Frances Women’s Volleyball League. With another three-point win against Safe Sets, How I Set Your […]
Staff When Gord McCabe’s gang found their footwork, it started putting the boot to its opponent. Grace Petsnick had a game-high 18 points as the Muskie junior girls’ basketball team opened the NorWOSSA regular season with a 49-29 victory over the host Kenora Broncos on Tuesday. “We started slowly and […]
Joey Payeur When the Muskie boys’ hockey team last was on the ice, it saw its dream of winning the OFSAA ‘A/AA’ championship on home ice dashed in heart-wrenching fashion. This season’s edition of the black-and-gold has clear ambitions to erase the memories of that heartbreak–and they’re off to a […]
Joey Payeur Any panic buttons in Wayne Strachan’s office remain unpushed at the present time. The head coach and general manager of the Fort Frances Lakers wasn’t about to get all worked up over an 0-3-0-1 record in the SIJHL pre-season, which ended with the Lakers dropping both ends of […]
Staff Dan Bird expected scoring to be a sore spot for his team this season. So far, he looks to be a soothsayer. The co-coach of the Muskie senior girls’ basketball team watched his squad exceed 21 points just once in four games as they went 1-3 to finish tied […]
Joey Payeur Every coach wants his or her players to get better each time out. The Muskie golf team did exactly that last Tuesday yet still didn’t reap what should have been its just rewards. Fort High shaved eight strokes from its opening team total the previous week, but had […]
