        The perfect summer sport came to a close for local youth on the weekend of July 17-19 in Wawota as the Wawota Pats hosted the Pee Wee A Provincials.
               Youth from across the southeast including Seth Petzel, Matthew Fahlman, Dillon Penner, Cooper Chisholm, Brady Bell, Riley Niven, Jesse Schill, Zack Hill, Jaron Johnston, Austin Fleck, Mason Johnston, and Theoren West came together to participate as a Provincial A team.
               Led by Head Coach Rob West along with assistant coaches Trevor Latham, Brad Petzel, and Riley Wheeler the home team fought to take first in their pool against La Ronge and Lloydminster.
               In the semi-finals Wawota was put up against the Muenster Red Sox who earned second in their pool with Nipawin, Swift Current, and Kindersley. In a tough battle early Sunday morning, Wawota fell to the Red Sox. It was a difficult game, but players on both sides gave it their all as impressive plays and stops were made.
               Muenster would go on to the finals where they would take on the Nipawin Giants, who had taken on and beat the La Ronge Hooks to get to the final.
               In another battle seen throughout the weekend, the Muenster Red Sox earned the champion title after defeating the Nipawin Giants in a close score of 8-6.
               Proud of their accomplishments for the year the Wawota Pats Pee Wee team put in a good effort and enjoyed hosting the provincial tournament.
