The Swan Valley Stampeders had a nice little run going as they had won 3 straight road games to open their lead for the final playoff spot, but have dropped their last two games to Selkirk and Steinbach and are back in a tight race for 8th. They’re led up front by a solid crop of 97’ born forwards. Keaton Jameson leads the team with 38 points on the year. Trevar Mann and Connor Navrot round out the top three with 35 and 32 points apiece.
