Saturday's letters: Public services are priority, not books
Article content The baseball game was action-packed and the extra events that were ongoing throughout the game were very entertaining. We saw a mascot race, cool science experiments and an agility dog show. We would recommend a Riverhawks baseball game this summer. Let's go, Riverhawks! Kathleen Eistetter's Grade 5 students, St. Mary School Separatists should move to U.S. Re. 'Alberta, join team Canada,' Mike Harcourt, May 24 I am a proud Albertan, or at least I was. I am sickened whenever the UCP announces another ridiculous proposal without sufficient assessment or backing from the majority of Albertans or without weighing the actual costs or potential results of these escapades.

‘A real coming together': Re/Max Field and Riverhawks host 3rd annual School Spirit Day
Students hold a sign that reads "Let's go Riverhawks" at the third annual School Spirit Day at Edmonton's Re/Max Field on June 4, 2025. (Galen McDougall / CTV News Edmonton) Most of Re/Max Field was filled by students for the Edmonton Riverhawks' second game of the season Wednesday morning. The second match of the Riverhawks' three-game set against the Victoria HarbourCats was the third annual School Spirit Day. Some 7,000 students and 2,000 regular spectators attended. 'We wanted the kids to have an opportunity to see the game, to cheer on the Riverhawks, and to just really have an authentically Edmonton moment nearing the end of the school year to celebrate all of their hard work,' said St. Bernadette Catholic Elementary School principal Lauren Hawes. 'They're so excited. They have been cheering, they've been loving the mascots.' Re/Max Field Riverhawks School Spirit Day 2025 Students flock to meet the Edmonton Riverhawks' mascot River at the third annual School Spirit Day at Re/Max Field on June 4, 2025. (Galen McDougall / CTV News Edmonton) The school brought more than 300 students between Kindergarten and Grade 6, plus 70 adults. Most of the students had never been to Re/Max Field or a baseball game, which is one of the reasons the club hosts School Spirit Day, according to its fun director, Steve Hogle. 'They get to see what a gorgeous setting it is, how much fun these games are, and they learn in the process. We put on a science show, they learn about dogs through this dog agility show … the mascots are all sorts of fun. So it's a real coming together with the community,' he told CTV News Edmonton. In their first game, the Riverhawks beat the HarbourCats 13-3. 'We played last night. We played this morning. It's a really tight turnaround, but everybody's going on the energy that these kids bring to the stadium. It's electric and we love it,' Hogle said. The two teams will play again on Thursday at 7:05 p.m. With files from CTV News Edmonton's Miriam Valdes-Carletti

Primetime 585 Spotlight Team: Avon softball
The Primetime 585 Spotlight Team of the Week is the Avon softball team. On Tuesday, the Riverhawks faced Geneseo in a highly anticipated pitchers duel between Avon's Jessie Crye and Geneseo's Addie McDonald. Avon came out on top, as Crye threw a one-hit shutout with 13 strikeouts. Crye also led her team to the win at the plate, leading off the fourth inning with a triple. She then scored the game's only run on a sacrifice fly by Rylie Miller. Miller is batting .346 with nine RBIs. Avon locked it down on defense, highlighted by a diving catch from right fielder Caroline Hayes to help preserve the win. Catcher Abby Schutz made an impact behind the plate and is also batting .370 this season. Infielder Payton Rice was a force at shortstop and has a .357 batting average. 'They did a great job today, first of all, and I think I said to them, this is one of the best defensive games I've seen them play in probably a couple years,' head coach Jill Terry said. 'The girls put the ball in play, that's what we need to do on offense. Defense, we back up our pitcher.' Crye's had a dominant year on the mound. She has 113 strikeouts and has given up just 19 hits this season. Over her career, she has 772 strikeouts. The junior also dominates at the plate, batting an impressive .609 with 17 RBIs. 'There's so many good teams out there, but I feel like our defense, I don't feel that pressure on the mound,' Crye said. 'I know that my girls got my back, and if I keep pitching, I know they have me.' The team's camaraderie and trust in each other might just be the reason for their 9-0 season. 'We all have each other's backs, I think we're a very well-rounded team,' Hayes said. 'Especially on defense, we can all do a job.' Congratulations to Coach Terry and the Avon Riverhawks for earning the Primetime 585 Team of the Week! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
