To serve and protect. It’s a good motto not only for police officers but volleyball teams, too.

The Kenora Broncos’ skills as gracious hosts need some work, but there’s not much wrong with their athletic efforts. The Muskie court teams certainly weren’t given a very warm welcome yesterday in Kenora, losing three of their four NorWOSSA clashes to the Broncos. The junior boys’ volleyball squad (2-2) salvaged […]
