Sports

Thursday, September 26 was Sturgeon Spirits’ annual Senior Recognition Night in Metro Edmonton Athletic Association high school football.  The twenty-two graduating players had their names called, and each did a pre-game jog to midfield, where they all served as honourary captains for the game. The award-winning Sturgeon drumline was also on hand to provide their game day soundtrack as nine members were singled out for Senior recognition. -Sturgeon went on to defeat the Ardrossan Bisons 50-0. –  Submitted photo
