The Westlock Junior Rock won’t play for a provincial title after their season was cut short over the weekend. The squad lost back-to-back games in their best-of-three series against the Sherwood Park Titans in the Rocky Mountain Lacrosse League Jr.

The 12th annual Hoopnics Basketball Camp, organized by former Dunstable principal Lorna Hiemstra and run by coach Chris Nicol, has come back to the Barrhead area once again.

Hockey season may be four months away, but the kids of Calling Lake can be sure to hit the ice running thanks to the Skills and Drills Hockey program.

The Athabasca U16 Devils may have had an easy time getting into provincials, but the team knows it’s not going to any walk in the park come July 8, as they compete in for the provincial title in Camrose.

Chalk up another accomplishment for Barrhead native Max Vriend. Earlier this spring Vriend completed his first season on the MacEwan Griffins volleyball team earning a spot on the starting rotation, a rarity for rookies.

Another sport — another Alberta Games. On June 14, Henrik Quintilio earned a spot at the Alberta Summer Games, this time in the mountain bike competition by placing third place in the Zone 5 (Black Gold/ Yellowhead) qualifier in Devon.

The 2016 John Golonowski Invitational Tournament will not declare a champion. Due to a torrential downpour Sunday’s finale between the Red Lions and the Barrhead Orioles was washed out.

It may have been their first year in the league, but the Westlock Bantam girls Rock played like seasoned veterans on their way to a gold medal finish in the Greater Edmonton Lacrosse Council playoffs.

It’s time to grab your swim caps and pump up your bike tires for the 14th annual Billy Loutit Triathlon July 16-17.
