Staff So much for thoughts of a winning streak for the Muskie football team, at least for now. Coming off a season-opening victory Sept. 8 that snapped a nearly two-year losing skid in the WHSFL, Fort High fell 36-0 to the Kenora Broncos in its home-opener Friday afternoon. With an […]
Staff The toughest opponent for the Muskie junior girls’ basketball team this NorWOSSA season has been firmly established. It will be their own overconfidence. Fort High tore through both their NorWOSSA rivals en route to winning the Dryden Eagles’ pre-season tournament with a 3-0 record. The Muskies beat the Kenora […]
Staff The Fort Frances Lakers finished their SIJHL pre-season schedule winless after suffering a pair of losses to the English River Miners over the weekend.

Staff A funny thing happened on Cole Tymkin’s way back to London–he got detoured through the Lone Star state. The 18-year-old Fort Frances resident, originally from Rainy River, is in Austin, Tex. today for the opening of training camp with the Dallas Stars after the NHL team yesterday made him […]
Staff Sekina Scheibler ran all the way to one of the first WHSFL awards of the season.

Scheibler had 19 carries for 309 […]

Staff The weather may be a question mark, but the dedication to stopping cancer for those coming out to the Sorting Gap Marina is unquestionable. Sunday marks this year’s national Terry Fox Run, with the 25th anniversary of the Fort Frances edition set to go with registration at 1 p.m. […]
Staff Their overall score was better but the Muskie golf team couldn’t overcome a heavenly performance by a single Saint. The black-and-gold improved by eight strokes as a group Tuesday in Kenora from their NorWOSSA season-opening victory last week in Sioux Lookout. But an impressive round of 74 by Noden […]

The Fort Frances native will spend her Grade 11 year in southern Ontario to get the chance to sharpen her spike talents on two fronts.

Staff Troy Norman has been all about that bass this year. It’s been a fishing season to remember for the Fort Frances resident, who paired up with Andy Carlson of Emo to capture first place at the 22nd-annual “Bassin’ For Bucks” tournament in Sioux Narrows over the weekend. The duo […]
Joey Payeur How would the Muskie golf team fare without their best player from the last few years around anymore? Pretty well, thanks. The contingent served notice they’ll be a force to be reckoned with this season as they wound up in first in the team division of the NorWOSSA […]
