Staff For a pair of rookies, Noah Armstrong and Parker Wiersema seem to know their way around a wrestling mat. The Fort Frances residents were part of the 21-member Mighty Mustangs wrestling team based in International Falls that travelled to the Minnesota Jaycee state wrestling championship in Grand Rapids, Minn. […]
Joey Payeur It was short, but sweet. Two teams from Fort Frances prospered in the pool at the Northwestern Ontario Open Swim Meet hosted by the Kenora Swimming Sharks, the final event of the short-course swimming season. The Fort Frances Aquanaut Swim Team and the Cyclone Swim Club each racked […]
Joey Payeur They were the few, the proud and most likely the very tired by the time they played their last point. But the Fort Frances Vipers 17U girls club volleyball team continued to make steps forward in their play as they captured ninth place at the Vision Elite 18U […]
Staff Finishing on top during the regular season was one thing. But doing it when it mattered most proved just as attainable a goal for Scared Hitless.

Joey Payeur It’s like he was Taylor-made to return. The Muskies badminton team will only have one representative at today’s NWOSSAA championships in Wawa. But the one is an awfully good one in the form of Taylor Whitehead, only in Grade 10, but now the owner of back-to-back NorWOSSA senior […]

Staff It was a terrific start for Tyler Miller. He and his Kenora Thistles teammates could have done without the ending. One of four players with Fort Frances connections on the Thistles, Miller scored the game’s opening goal, but was part of a full-team meltdown that saw the Brantford Blast […]
Joey Payeur Nobody said this was going to be easy. The Minnesota Iron Rangers signalled it could be a long road to the Bill Salonen Cup by recovering from a heart-breaker a day earlier to edge the Fort Frances Lakers 3-2 in Game 2 of the best-of-seven final Saturday night […]
Staff If this was the NFL, the 1972 Miami Dolphins would be popping champagne corks right about now. There will be no undefeated team this season in the Borderland Women’s Indoor Soccer League after the Wright Physiotherapy Rockettes edged the previously-unbeaten Main Street Mayhem 3-2 last night at Fort High. […]
Staff Taylor Whitehead will be on the road again. The Muskie badminton player is the only local representative bound for the NWOSSAA championships after winning his second-straight NorWOSSA senior boys’ singles crown yesterday in Kenora. Whitehead, who finished ahead of silver-medallist Tyler Neil of the host Kenora Broncos, took the […]
Joey Payeur Kathie Jackson’s vocal chords didn’t have much left but she and her rink let their game do the talking. Jackson and her crew of third Teresa McFayden, second Lisa Penner, and lead Kris Sinclair capped off an eventful curling season with a 7-5 win over Christine Jean in […]
