Four members of the Swift Current Comprehensive High School Colts Football team are coming home victorious after helping the South Saskatchewan Selects capture the 3rd annual International Pigskin Classic in San Antonio, Texas.

Brady Cloutier, Brock Lemay, Preston Slusar and Thomas Munroe from Swift Current were on the Selects' Under-12 team at the event, and Josh Keller was the local player on the Under-14 team.
