Zeniths move up a tier

The Magrath Zeniths High School baseball team is taking a huge leap as they have moved up from Tier II to Tier I for baseball action this year. With a core or solid returning players, the Zeniths look forward to taking on teams they would normally only see in tournament action. The Zeniths will be taking on the Catholic Central Cougars, Kate Andrews Pride, LCI Rams, Raymond Comets and Winston Churchill Bulldogs in league and provincial play.

Town of Magrath Name

Magrath, nicknamed the 'Garden City', was established in 1899 by workers recruited by Charles A. Magrath of the Alberta Railway and Irrigation Company. Under arrangement with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormon) in Salt Lake City, immigrants were advised that they could come to Canada and that work would be provided digging the 'Main Canal' (mostly by hand) from the US Border to Lethbridge. Half the pay that they would receive would be in money and the other half in land. This massive irrigation project produced a flood of immigration from Utah and Idaho as the Mormon church strongly promoted settlement in southern Alberta.
