It was a quiet night in the Rainy River District Fastball League yesterday, with the only game on the schedule a make-up one between International Falls and Sabaskong originally scheduled for May 18. International Falls (3-3) scored early and often against last-place Sabaskong (1-6) en route to a convincing 18-3 […]
The Muskie boys’ soccer team experienced a familiar problem earlier this week at the all-Ontarios in St. Catharines—putting the ball in the net.

Standing on-stage at the final weigh-in of the fifth-annual Emo Walleye Classic, Todd Grennier and Eric Lessman didn’t think their total was going to be enough. As the basket containing their day’s catch was brought on-stage, Grennier and Lessman greeted fellow anglers and tournament leaders Jody Shypit and Gary Noga. […]
Normally the team that finishes the Emo Walleye Classic in 13th spot doesn’t generate a great deal of interest among the spectators on hand for the final weigh-in. Thirteen certainly is a very respectable accomplishment, but the fans tend to reserve their loudest cheers for the teams that finish in […]
Local swimmer Alex Parent should be entirely focused on his training in the pool this summer. The 17-year-old, a prospect for Team Canada’s junior national Paralympic swim team, should be working closely with his longtime coach, Roman Ramirez, to ensure he’s in the best shape possible.
