Two Morrin high school curling teams are heading to zones later this month. Morrin School hosted the Rangeland High School Curling Playoffs at the Rumsey Agriplex February 5.
The Morrin girls team won the best of three games with the rink from Oyen. Skip Katie Primrose, Third Amy Adams, Second Shelby Primrose, and Lead Jessica Wolf will head to the zones with coach Betty Primrose.
The Morrin mixed rink won both their games in round robin play, one each with Youngstown and Oyen, to advance to the zone playoffs.
The Morrin mixed team is players Skip Evan Hampton, Third Caitlin Wolf, Second Lowell Nelson, Lead Jorden Ferguson, and coach Melanie Nelson.
The Morrin and Oyen boys teams played a best of 3, which saw Oyen win the first game and Morrin win the second.
“Game 3 was a nail biter that went into an extra end, because Morrin scored 4 points to tie the game 9-9 in the 8th end. In the 9th end, Oyen had to throw their last rock and make a take out to win the game. Oyen won,” explains Melanie Nelson.
The Oyen team is Skip Hunter Didychuk, Third Tristen Peers, Second Lucas Ramos-Strankman, Lead Jordan Spath, and coach Tenelle Brost,
High school curling zones are scheduled for February 25 and 26 in Airdrie.
