Besides the Alberta Bowl high school football championship games this weekend, there is a long list of other sports going on as well.

Storm

The Grande Prairie Storm gear up for another weekend of action sitting tied for first in the AJHL, and the North Division, with the Whitecourt Wolverines with 32 points.

This weekend it’s a light schedule for the Storm, as they only have one road game on tap. They head to Devon to take on the Xtreme on Saturday.

Heading into this game, the Storm will try and break a two game losing streak and move to 15-3-1-1 on the season and have two games in hand on the Wolverines.
