It was a smackdown at the Elgar Petersen Arena last week when the Humboldt Broncos took on the LaRonge Ice Wolves. Though it didn't start out that way. The Broncos got off to a very slow start in the game, played October 11.

Nearly 600 runners hit the trails at Lucien Lake Regional Park on October 15, competing in the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletics Association (SHSAA) Provincial Cross Country Championships, hosted by Three Lakes School in Middle Lake.

On Friday, October 14, the Humboldt Collegiate Institute (HCI) Mohawks felt something they had not felt in 16 games: the sting of defeat. The Melfort Comets came into Glen Hall Park not having beaten HCI since 2008, and not in Humboldt since 2000.

One and one. The Humboldt Broncos walked away from the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) Showcase weekend in Estevan October 14-15 with a 1-1 record.

The first play from scrimmage was an indicator of what was to come in the North Battleford Comprehensive High School Vikings final home game of the season.

It is one of the largest archery clubs in the province and the results from last year's provincial and national events simply speak for themselves.

One positive for the Battlefords Midget Stars is they are taking less penalties and working towards giving themselves a chance to be in Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League games. The negative part is the Stars are still winless.

Rarely does a shutdown defenceman get the praise and recognition for the SJHL player of the week awards, but the Battlefords North Stars defenceman Travis Sparrow played well at the Showcase and earned the honour for the week of Oct. 10 to 16.

Rarely does an Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League team have an opportunity to play a morning game, but Saturday the Battlefords North Stars did as part of the SJHL Showcase in Estevan.

The leaves changing in the fall often signals the start of the cross-country running season for students and this weekend marks the end of that short season. Five John Paul II athletes will be competing in provincials this weekend at Middle Lake.
