IN LOCAL HISTORY
• 60 YEARS AGO — Hartney High was victorious in the first football game of the season, topping visiting Wawanesa by a score of 27-19. Wayne Keeler and Louis Morrison were stars of the game with Wayne scoring three touchdowns on passes from Louis. Louis also scored once himself.
• 50 YEARS AGO — In 10-pin bowling, Joan Lee made a strong bid for the ladies’ single honours with a 214 game. She made it to within one pin of Betty Chorney’s 215, while Shirley Bettle rolled a three-game total of 557 for the ladies top series.
• 40 YEARS AGO — It was quarterback Darren Bradbury’s finest hour as he threw for two touchdowns and scored another as the Virden Golden Bears beat the Dauphin Clippers 28-26 to win the Rural Manitoba High School Football AA championship.
• 30 YEARS AGO — Michael Murray and Kevin Mitchler both scored twice as the Virden Golden Bears trounced Souris Valley 8-1 in exhibition high school hockey.
• 20 YEARS AGO — Nesbitt native Ashton Rome is on the move again. The 6-foot-2, 202-pound right-winger was traded by the WHL’s Red Deer Rebels along with a 2007 fifth-round bantam draft pick to the Kamloops Blazers for 19-year-old right-winger Kris Versteeg and 20-year-old defenceman Brennan Chapman.
• 10 YEARS AGO — Quintin Lisoway was in the Manitoba Junior Hockey League just long enough to be named player of the week. Lisoway, who had five points in three games for the Steinbach Pistons last week, has been claimed by the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s Acadie-Bathurst Titan.
