The Rainy River High School Owls 2010-11 sports season got underway last week. Their first home games were last Wednesday when the boys hosted volleyball teams and the girls hosted basketball teams from Thomas Aquinas (Kenora). Shown here, members of the Owls Jr. Boys v-ball team get ready to block a spike from a Saint. The Jr. boys lost three games to none with scores of 12-25, 9-25 and 18-25. Sr. boys lost three straight with scores of 7-25, 7-25 and 12-25. The Jr. girls b-ball team won 23-16 and the Sr. girls lost 20-53. The teams are away in Red Lake and Kenora this week. Their next home games are next Tuesday when they host Whitefish Bay beginning at 11:30 a.m. The public is invited to come out and cheer for the Owls. There is no admission charge.
