This one is for Mary. Each year the Lethbridge Spitz Elks head into their annual Elks Tournament intent on winning the whole think on their Spitz Stadium home turf.
But as the newly named Mary Oikawa Memorial Tournament takes to the field today, the Elks are more determined than ever to hit it out of the park.
That starts tonight at 7:30 p.m. as the Elks take the field for their tournament-opener against Twin Falls, but not before a pre-game tribute to Oikawa, a fixture around American Legion baseball for years who passed away last year.

Final exams start next week, so it’s time to close the book on the local 2009-10 high school athletic campaign this weekend. The final chapter is explosive too as Lethbridge plays host to the Alberta Schools Athletic Association Provincial High School Rugby Championships.
The event will be truly gargantuan in scope. Thirty-two teams will contest four divisions on four Sherring Field (just north of the north side Wal-Mart) pitches. In total 48 matches are on tap. Kickoff is set for 10 a.m. Friday, with the final tilts scheduled to begin Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
I’m well aware how hard Southern Alberta High School Rugby League and South Zone rugby types have worked to integrate rugby into the ASAA scene. There have been growing pains, with more expansion sure to follow, but this weekend should be a celebration of their endeavours.

The golfers that play together, stay together. And in the case of Calgary’s Andrea Kosa and Jana Haggins, that proved to be the case on the leaderboard as the 2010 Lethbridge Golf and Country Club Ladies Open headed down the back nine during second round action Sunday afternoon.
But when the final scores were tallied up it was Kosa who emerged with first place with a final tally of 150, two strokes ahead of her fellow Glencoe Golf and Country Club member as Haggins settled for second with a 152 despite a remarkable charge after opening the tournament with a first-round 83 before slicing 14 strokes off her score Sunday to finish with a second-round 69.
While Haggins came up two strokes short in her attempted comeback after opening day, she nonetheless headed back to Calgary having made a little history, setting the course record with her overall net score of 67.
