Another successful Frank Leffingwell Memorial Shoot is in the books.
And Dean Weger has been rewarded for his dedication, not just to marksmanship, but to the shoot itself.
Weger took home the custom Gaillard barrel for winning the aggregate scoring at the shoot as well as a nice total of prize money for finishing in the top three at 100, 200 and 300 yards in the 10th annual edition of the shoot. But Weger is also one of the event’s organizers and a valuable volunteer, according to Evelyn Leffingwell, Frank’s widow and a woman who knows a thing or two about shooting.
The event appeals to sportsmen because it levels the playing field thanks to limitations on scopes, which makes it a real showdown to determine the best shot. It appeals to Evelyn because it is a great way to honour Frank’s memory.

A slow start by the Lethbridge FC men meant another loss as the team fell 3-1 to Edmonton Scottish in Edmonton Saturday.
An undermanned Lethbridge side fell to 6-3-5 in the Alberta Major Soccer League after allowing three goals in the game’s first 15 minutes. The team is without several players, including Matteo Pasquotti. Pasquotti had dental surgery late in the week and did not travel with the team. He recently signed a contract with the Vancouver Whitecaps, and will move to Burnaby, B.C. in the fall.

The Lethbridge Athletic Association has made some changes over the past couple of seasons.
This year the changes include a passel of new coaches and the return of a couple of old ones.
After a successful rookie season in charge of the flagship midget AAA Y’s Men Hurricanes, Greg Cowie is back behind the bench for a second season, only fitting after he took the team to the Mac’s Midget Tournament and a first-round playoff win.

For the past 15 years, Brian Groves has called the balls and strikes for baseball in Lethbridge.
Evidently, his efforts behind the dish have not gone unnoticed.
When the 2010 Junior Little League World Series takes the field in Taylor, Michigan from Aug. 15-21, Groves will be there plying the umpiring trade that has made him known locally. He will be the only Canadian umpire at the event and according to Southern Alberta Umpires Association president Mitch Ball, a veteran of World Series past, he’s a great choice.
“It’s a great opportunity for him,” said Ball at Wednesday’s Sports Awards banquet at the Lethbridge Lodge. “It’s an amazing experience and he’s earned it.”
Not that Groves knew his name was being thrown into the mix as a potential umpire for the international event.
“(Little League District 1 administrator) Kevin Kvame put my name in as an umpire, and the very next day I got a phone call asking me if I was interested in coming down.
“I said I would be honoured to come down,” said Groves.

The Coquitlam All-Stars entered the Canadian Junior Little League Championship as favourites to win a third consecutive Canadian crown.
They did, but it wasn’t easy.
Coquitlam, the B.C. representative, won an eight-inning tug-of-war 7-6 over the Orleans, Ont. Red Sox.
The final at Spitz Stadium finished off a week of great Little League baseball in the city, as Lethbridge will host the national championship for the next two years, and possibly beyond. The success of this year’s event, culminating in a third consecutive national win for the Coquitlam All-Stars, will help determine whether Lethbridge hosts beyond 2012.
