When you scanned the scoreboards at the curling rink after the first end, there were nothing but twos and threes.The New Horizons were starting the second half of the spring season Feb. 18 competitively, and it was Forester, Peever and Krismer who were the meanest with the threes.
Ed Kjargaard had a rocky start. Down 2-3-1 is not the way to start the game.But it was in the fourth with the Pauls rink lying two or three, Kjargaard came up with an angle raise with his last rock to count one.With that, the scoring went 1-3-3-2 in the final four ends with Kjargaard's group up three coming home.
Alexander Scott made an improbable shot in the fourth end. His yellow rock was coming down a little wide. He waved it over and it caught enough of the red. The rock bounced off onto another red. Belyk lost two rocks and could count only one. It was one, one, down two, up two and one more for Belyk to be two up after seven ends. Belyk took out one of the top contenders to remain in the lead.
Rod Forester and Dick Horrell exchanged counting on the first four ends, but then in the fifth end, Dick racked up three to go one up.He stole three and two more. Forester was left shaking his head after his first rock on eight knowing that being light meant the game.
Exchanging ends is all very nice, and so it was in the game between the Peever and Korpach rinks until the sixth end. Peever stole one to go up three and it held up for the win.
The Hall four counted in four of the first five ends, but were only two up on Al Rogers.It was in the sixth end that Rogers came down with his final stone to take out two and count two to tie the game at five.It was Hall who added one in the seventh, but gave up two in the eighth for the loss.
The score was 8-7 for Munn and Krismer who only counted on two ends.Munn then added two more to be three up coming home. That was enough for the win.
