Staff The Dryden Eagles were playing soccer. The Muskies opted for pinball. Cam Lidkea, Max Williams, and Kevin Metke each tallied twice as the black-and-gold routed the Eagles 10-0 on the final day of the NorWOSSA regular season yesterday in Kenora. Tyler VanUden, James Gushulak, Adam Stromberg, and Caleb Koomans […]

Staff Rainy, chilly weather didn’t come close to cooling off the Muskie boys’ and girls’ soccer teams yesterday in Dryden. Neither did the absence of both of their regular head coaches. Both Muskie crews didn’t give up a goal, while each netting nine of their own, in sweeping their respective […]
Joey Payeur If Cole Kowalski feels the need to furnish his goal crease, he probably can start with a recliner. Kowalski was given little to do thanks to the suffocating defence his team played in front of him as the Muskie boys’ soccer team opened the NorWOSSA regular season here […]
Joey Payeur Sarah Faragher said her team came out winners, no matter what the scoreboard read.
