Unlike most other Alberta Schools Athletic Association sports, football is not contested at the zone level.
Instead, Southern Alberta High School Football League teams qualify for the provincial quarter-finals through ASAA’s pigskin Region 1. The SAHSFL is joined in Region 1 by the Medicine Hat-centred Rangeland League.
This year the SAHSFL hosts all Region 1 finals. In fact, they are all this week.
The Rangeland League doesn’t have any Tier I teams. When it comes to the unlimited enrollment class, it’s perennial powers LCI (currently rated No. 7 in Wild Rose Country Tier I by Football Alberta) and Raymond (defending provincial champ; ranked No. 1) renewing a classic rivalry.

Mac Purvis is on the fast track to hockey stardom.
The 17-year-old Warner Warrior was recently named to Team Alberta for the upcoming national girls’ hockey championship, where she will continue a career which has been marked by far more successes than losses.
And now, after living in a dorm room at the Warner Hockey School for the past four years and in the midst of choosing an NCAA school to play at next year, she’s ready for the next step.

Of all the University of Lethbridge students who took to the basketball court Friday night at the 1st Choice Savings Centre, Stephanie Nordlee was the only one guaranteed to win.
Of all the females involved in Friday night’s Montana Western-Pronghorns women’s basketball contest, only Stephanie Nordlee walked off the court richer than when she stepped on it.
And, as the first Southern Alberta Basketball Officials Association female referee to work a university game, she was also the only person in the building to make history.

Those are some points in the Bancks.
And if the Lethbridge Hurricanes have their way, those points will start earning some serious interest as captain Carter Bancks put up four points and the ’Canes pulled off a 5-4 come-from- behind win over the Moose Jaw Warriors during Western Hockey League action Sunday night at the Enmax Centre.
With the win the Hurricanes improve to 5-9-2-0 and move out of the Central Division cellar and past the Kootenay Ice.
“We had a tough start,” said Bancks, who put up three assists and bagged the game-winner with 7:30 left in regulation time. “I don’t think we started very well. We were getting out-worked and out-battled.Between the first and the second (period) we made a committment to each other that we weren’t going to get outworked again for the rest of the game. We were really hard on loose pucks and we threw a lot on the net and we executed well. We were able to have some nice goals scored, but it was all about the little things, getting pucks deep and pucks (on) the net and outworking them.”

Rich Preston doesn’t have much of a scouting report on Luca Sbisa.
Then again, the general manager and coach of the Lethbridge Hurricanes doesn’t really need one.
All he needs to do is consult is his buddy, former teammate and general manager of the Anaheim Ducks, Bob Murray, for any lowdown he needs on the 19-year-old blue liner.
Soon, Preston will be getting a first-hand glimpse of Sibsa and all he’ll have to do is glance down the bench.
In an announcement that will no doubt have a Hurricanes fan or two dancing a happy jig, the Ducks announced Sunday that they were sending Sbisa back to the Hurricanes for another year of junior seasoning.
