Joey Payeur Mike Cuzzolino is in the market for a little short-term amnesia. “I’m trying to forget that game,” the Muskie football team’s head coach said after watching his squad get pounded 38-3 by the host Daniel McIntyre Maroons during a key Andy Currie Division showdown Friday. “We had a […]
Joey Payeur With the game on the line, Colton Spicer wanted to take the pressure off his head coach. “I’m not sure Wayne [Strachan] was going to put us out there,” Spicer grinned in reference to the Fort Frances Lakers’ head coach and general manager boss possibly overlooking him and […]
Joey Payeur Tyson-Skylar Morrisseau made it back to the NWOSSAA golf championships on a bad wing and a prayer. Good thing he’ll have three good wingmen to accompany him. Morrisseau and fellow Muskie Kendyn Faragher earned spots in the field that will tee off at the Strathcona Golf Club in […]
Joey Payeur Colton Spicer politely declined any post-game handshakes for fear of spreading what looked like a rather serious cold.

Staff With the Dryden Eagles nesting elsewhere for the day, Hailey Beaudry flew to the front of the pack. The Muskie cross-country runner took advantage of a smaller field to blaze her way to victory in the senior girls’ 5.4-km event at the Mount Evergreen race in Kenora yesterday. Dryden […]
Staff No official word on whether the Kenora Broncos actually will be constructing a crocodile-filled moat around Beaver Brae High School before the next time the Muskies court teams come to town. After yesterday, however, they might want to consider it. It was a blitzkrieg as the Muskies captured all […]
Staff For a wide receiver, Cole Kowalski makes a pretty good defensive back. So good, in fact, that the second-year Muskie yesterday was named the WHSFL’s defensive player-of-the-week in the Andy Currie Division. Kowalski, who had to leave his previous game with a charleyhorse, shone on both sides of the […]
Staff Holding one’s breath for five holes is no easy task. But when Muskie golf coach Brian Johnstone finally exhaled, he was one happy man.
