    6 days ago | brandonsun.com | Thomas Friesen

    STONEWALL — The Vincent Massey Vikings played an entire high school softball season with just one inning they’d love to have back. It was a dagger to start the provincial final they fought so hard to reach, giving up eight runs to the Saint-Joachim/Réal-Bérard Braves en route to an 11-3 decision at Stonewall’s Quarry Park on Saturday afternoon.

    As the Vincent Massey Vikings enter a high school softball provincial championship full of unknowns, Jayce Whiteside is certain about one thing. The sophomore pitcher will have plenty of run support. “It takes so much pressure off of a pitcher,” Whiteside said at practice on Tuesday. “I can look at our batting order and I know everyone’s going to have a hit probably.

    Suddenly, JJ Love’s last action as a Brandon University Bobcat player will forever be hoisting the Tantramar Trophy as a national champion on March 23. The senior setter has signed a professional contract with G.S. Iraklis Thessalonikis of the Greek Pre League — the second tier of men’s volleyball in Greece. It was a far from simple decision for the Dauphin native, who had one year of eligibility left and a solid corps returning to make another run at the U Sports title.

    The Brandon University Bobcats ended their season with the best moment in program history. As a result, the next one will start almost as cool. Volleyball Canada has selected the Bobcats to represent the country at the NORCECA Final Six tournament in Puerto Rico in October. “That’s a super special opportunity,” said Brandonite Liam Kindle, who’s back for one more year.

  • TEEING OFF: Korman relaxed as top seed for match play

    1 week ago | brandonsun.com | Thomas Friesen

    What used to feel like pressure-packed moments on the golf course are now “casual” for Cala Korman. The Killarney native used to battle self-inflicted pressure during tournaments but realizes, for her, a laid-back approach is the way to go. She casually rolled in four birdies, dropping just one shot during the Golf Manitoba match play qualifier, carding a 3-under 68 at Winkler Centennial Golf Club on Saturday. Korman earned the top seed for this weekend’s matches at Elmhurst Golf and Country Club.
