St Joseph’s Jaguars win 1A championships
ST. JOSEPH’S, NL – The 2025 School Sports NL 1A boys basketball championship kicked off with the St Joseph’s Academy Jaguars taking on the Eric G Lambert School out of Churchill Falls Labrador. The Churchill Falls team were big in stature and physically athletic. I guess that has a bit to do with most of them being hockey players. Go to athletes nonetheless but in front of the hometown crowd in a packed gymnasium the air was nothing less than electric and hometown St Joseph’s plugged into that and it was smooth sailing all the way. As big and athletic…

SSNL Basketball needs rankings changes
SSNL Basketball needs rankings changes By Jason Pike Gross, disgusting and wrong are a few terms that come to mind as my jaw dropped reading the schedule for the SSNL Regional 1A qualifiers for the Avalon District this upcoming weekend. The tournament consists of 4 teams. Dunne Memorial, St. Catherine’s, Baltimore, and St. Bons. First, I have never agreed with St Bons being allowed to enter into the small school tournaments as they are not a part of NL schools and even more so, they are private school with the ability, if they chose, to create a super team.

Anger, amateur sports and the Internet.
By Jason Pike, Reporter The Sports Page NL Over the last few days, I’ve pondered and struggled wondering if I should even respond to or even acknowledge the actions of certain individuals and their response to recent articles. Some an angry display on our Facebook page. As someone who grew up Gen X and grew up in what some arguably consider the last great generation of the 90s, things were different.
