Finalists for the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association provincial football championship were named last weekend, with each of the title games taking place next weekend.

In the 1A Six-Aside Division, the Hafford Vikings’ quest for a sixth straight provincial title continued in style, as they posted a 62-16 victory over the Lemberg North Valley Eagles in Lemberg. Things were slightly closer in the other semi-final, where the Hanley Sabers took a 48-16 victory over the St. Brieux Crusaders.
