STURGIS - The Sturgis Composite School’s junior boys curling team was joined by Yorkton Regional and Esterhazy school rinks as they played off in the East Central Curling district play held in Sturgis on February 4.
“The Sturgis junior boys all played very well and gained some valuable curling experience both on and off the ice,” said Kristen Peterson, coach. “This is the first time in a few years that the kids were able to play competitively and they made some great progress as curlers. We are a young team which is always a little bit of a challenge and overall they did great despite losing both games in the double elimination round,” she said.
Team members were: Mason Babiuk, skip; Cole Masley, third; Trae Peterson, second and Bracyn Konkel and Parker Ryczak shared the lead position.
Yorkton Regional won the tournament followed by Esterhazy and Sturgis.
The mixed district curling playoff was also held in Sturgis on February 4 with only two teams entered. Sacred Heart defeated Esterhazy to win the event.
