Roughriders prepare for Tiger-Cats with bye week over
It's a battle of the top two teams in the CFL in Week 11. Article content On Saturday (1 p.m., TSN) at Mosaic Stadium, the Saskatchewan Roughriders (7-1) will host the Hamilton Tiger-Cats (6-3) in the second and final meeting of the season between the two teams, who sit atop the standings in their respective divisions. Article content Article content 'Incredible matchup,' said Roughriders head coach Corey Mace, whose team returned to practice on Tuesday following a bye week. 'They're a good team. We believe we're a good team, and we know it's going to be a battle. Article content 'But we're playing with one extra here and the fans are showing up for this one, so it's going to be fun.' Article content Prior to Saskatchewan's second bye week of the season, the Green and White put together their most complete performance of the year in a 34-6 victory over the Montreal Alouettes. It was Saskatchewan's third straight victory after losing to the Calgary Stampeders in Week 6. Article content 'How we performed the last game, I thought to this point, was the closest thing that we've looked to the version of what we want to be,' said Mace. 'And still lots of room to grow.' Article content Despite the overall clean performance, quarterback Trevor Harris — who threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns — was still critical of how he played against the Alouettes. Article content 'I still feel like I didn't play very well against Montreal,' said Harris. 'I wanted a couple plays back, which shoot, I think every game you watch, every game you play as a quarterback, you're never going to come away and think you did perfectly. Article content Article content 'And so we just want to make sure we're continuing to strive for greatness because this group has more and I think there's another level that we can unlock, and I think that we're making our way there.' Article content Article content In fact, that mentality and continuous desire of trying to improve is what's driving the group, according to Harris. Article content 'We're trending where we need to be, but we still have a ways to go,' said Harris. 'If we want to sit here and pat ourselves on the back for being 7-1, there's no seven-win teams getting into playoffs. Article content 'Nobody's over here exhaling or letting off the accelerator. It's full-blast go because we've got boxes we want to check as a team. Article content 'We've had a good start so far but we want to make sure that we're trending in the right direction, not going stale and playing our best ball already.'

Olympic legend Michael Phelps makes good on promise made to hometown Ravens
Michael Phelps took some time to pay his hometown Ravens (and their new pool) a visit. Baseball is known as the national pastime. Some say football overtook it a while ago. We don't often reference swimming in the same regard, but every four years, the great Michael Phelps, a die-hard Baltimore Ravens fan and Charm City native, made us forget that was the case. There has never been a more decorated Olympic swimmer. He has accumulated 28 medals during his decorated career. 23 of them are of a golden plating, but regardless of where his success took him, home is still where the heart is. He lives in Arizona now, but his heart never left Maryland. Michael Phelps visits the Ravens and their new pool Recently, the Ravens called a hometown hero to action. Several of the more popular social media mainstays invited him to teach them how to swim via X. "I got y'all!!! Let's do it!!" That was the response from the best of the best. Two weeks later, he was home again, as you might expect, everyone noticed, especially everyone holding some sort of camera. That isn't surprising. This isn't the type of guy that you can sneak in and out of town. Let's say a time was had. Though the Ravens admittedly are short on swimmers, the G.O.A.T. found one on the Ravens' roster who might be capable of making some noise in his sport. Training camps can be brutal. It's good to see the guys blow off some steam, as they have certainly put in a ton of time in their efforts to be excellent. Olympic glory will have to wait, though, for Hamilton and everyone else. This iteration of the Ravens is too busy trying to equal Phelps' sustained excellence by chasing a trophy of their own.

2 men charged in fatal shooting of Dundas, Ont., father Zachary Shuman last month
Social Sharing Hamilton police have charged two men with second-degree murder in the shooting last month of 25-year-old Zachary Shuman in Dundas, Ont. At a news conference Tuesday, Det. Staff Sgt. Sarah Beck of the Hamilton Police Service's homicide unit said Andrew Kowalik, 30, of Dundas was arrested on Sunday and Mussie Gebremariam, 27, of Kitchener was picked up the following day in Toronto. Both men appeared in court on Monday and were held in custody. Shuman was found unresponsive in the parking lot of an apartment building at 77 Governors Rd. shortly after 5 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene the same day, according to police. He was a single father to a three-year-old girl, according to a GoFundMe page set up by members of his family to raise funds to support his daughter. His parents "are now facing the unimaginable loss of their son while stepping in to raise their granddaughter," the page said. "This tragedy has left a hole that cannot be filled." Vehicles first interacted down the street Until this week, little was known about the interaction between Shuman and the occupants of another vehicle. Police previously said Shuman, driving a grey Dodge Ram pickup truck, and the drivers of a a blue Ford Edge SUV interacted at a Metro parking lot before proceeding to the lot down the street, where Shuman and his truck were found. Beck said Tuesday that investigators believe a meeting at the Metro parking lot between Shuman and the accused was planned. "We do know that there was a disturbance [between the two parties]," Beck said. "What the actual nature of that discussion was, we don't know." From there, police said, the blue SUV linked to the accused drove into the apartment building lot first, with Shuman's truck following. Witnesses later saw the SUV leaving the scene. "Only one person we believe was the shooter," Beck said, but added two people were involved. She declined to identify who police believe fired the shots. Police said all three men had known each other for several years. At least one of the accused was known in relation to drug trafficking, police added. Beck said investigators do not know if the reason for the meeting was drug-related, but believes they were "part of the involvement in this case." The SUV was recovered in Kitchener and the firearm used in the shooting has not been found. Beck said Shuman's family is still grappling with the loss. "While the family is aware of the arrest, they're still going through their process and grieving." Beck said extensive video canvassing across Hamilton and the Greater Toronto Area, as well as search warrants executed over the weekend, helped lead to the arrests. She also thanked community members for responding to appeals for tips about the vehicle and a possible witness. Police said the investigation is ongoing, but no suspectsother are being sought.
