The Davidson Raiders senior football team began practising last week in preparation for this Friday’s game against Rosetown. It’s a brand new six-man football season for the Raiders in more ways than one.
They’re playing in a new conference against teams they’ve never played before. They’ll be playing against bigger schools, including Clavet, last year’s provincial champs. Their opponents in 2A, Conference 3 this season are: Rosetown, Biggar, Clavet, Outlook, Kindersley and Unity. The Raiders had 14 players out to practice last Tuesday evening. Coach Jason Low said they are expecting five more players on the team. The team is made up of players in grades 9 to 12 from Davidson, Loreburn, Kenaston and Craik schools.

Delivering bags full of Teenburgers to Panther Industries was one of several stops Davidson A&W manager Cristy Sandoval made last Thursday for Burgers to Beat MS Day. The A&W delivered burgers to various businesses in Davidson so that people, who couldn’t make it out to the A&W, could still help the cause. A&W gives $2 from every Teenburger sold on Burgers to Beat MS Day to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research and support programs. Pictured are Panther’s Cindy Desiatnyk and Clayton Schneider with Sandoval (centre). Panther ordered 22 burgers for lunch and had another order coming for the evening crew. Davidson A&W sold 367 Teenburgers on Burger Day, breaking last year’s record sales of 261.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Margot Theresa (Tress) Gregg of Grande Prairie, Alberta. She passed peacefully on August 18, 2019 in Prairie Lake Hospice.
Tress was born in Davidson, Saskatchewan, the third child of Ken and Georgina Sampson and grew up on the family farm in rural Davidson. She attended Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Art and Science, where she graduated with her diploma in Nursing. Later in life she went on to become a Nurse Practitioner.
Tress moved to Calgary, Alberta where she met Monte and they were married in 1977. During their 42 years of marriage they adopted 2 children, Darren and Corrine and the family lived in Calgary, Rainbow Lake, Lloydminster and then retired in Grande Prairie to be near their children.
She was always very involved in the community, always volunteering for a variety of community organizations. When she wasn’t volunteering, she enjoyed quilting crocheting, gardening and spending time with family and friends. She also enjoyed the yearly vacations she and Monte took to Mexico.

She is survived by Monte, her husband of 42 years, son Darren Gregg (Grande Cache), daughter Corrine Gregg (James) Grande Prairie, brother Norman Sampson (Lynne), Davidson, Saskatchewan, brother- in- law Warren (Bonnie) Gregg, Guelph, Ontario and many other family and friends.
