The Rosthern Longhorns continued their undefeated 2011 season with an exhibition game win against Spiritwood. The Longhorns starters cruised to a 48-8 half time lead and the team won the game 70-40. This was a good tune up for the Longhorns as they look ahead to their provincial playoff games. They will be hosting a provincial quarterfinal game this Saturday, Oct. 29 at 1 pm against the Wynyard Bears. We look forward to a big crowd coming to cheer on our team!!
