  The Bad Behaviour Bears. At what point is bad behaviour punished? By Jason Pike MOBILE, NL – A lot of people in today’s generation might not get the reference of the Bad News Bears! But it’s what came to mind when witnessing the Beaconsfield Saxons this past weekend.  It’s not often that a sports team manages to garner the ire of all of there peers.

Rule The Court Basketball

//

  By Jason Pike MOBILE, NL – This past week the annual Rule The Court tournament kicked off at Mobile Central High School. Sitting back watching the Mobile Monarch Nines play the Mount Pearl Intermediate Nines, it was easy to see that these teams were severely mismatched.

Where have all the good times gone.

By Jason Pike Somethings been lost in sports today. Where has all the passion and tradition in sports gone to? Rarely in today’s society do we see the camaraderie of old. Seldom do we see pep rallies or cheerleaders or school spirit where students come out to support their friends and fellow students.
