Mixed doubles teams in the junior and senior high school age groups took to the ice for districts at the Power Dodge Ice Centre in Estevan on Friday and Saturday.
Lampman School won junior districts, which is for those in Grade 9 and younger. The team, comprised of Sydney Willock and Jamie Johnson, defeated a team from St. Michael’s School in Weyburn in the championship final of the double knockout elimination event.
Lampman defeated Estevan Comprehensive School (ECS), comprised of Hannah Mercer and Braydon Ludtke, in the A final. Both teams won their first two games of the weekend to reach the A final.
Then they dropped down to the B event. Lampman reached the B final by defeating Ogema School, while St. Michael’s defeated Estevan, knocking Estevan out of the event.
St. Michael’s defeated Lampman in the B final, and so the two teams would meet again in the championship final. This time it was Lampman that emerged victorious.
Two teams from Lyndale School in Oungre were also entered in the junior division.
In senior mixed doubles, the Cherpin-Willoughby rink from Radville Regional High School defeated the Henheffer-Daley rink, also out of Radville, in the A final.
The senior tournament featured a four-team round robin, with two teams from ECS and two from Radville. The ECS teams were comprised of Abby Renkas and Jamison Keating, and Kristen Carlson and Seth Bohlken. Those two teams, as well as the Cherpin rink, went 2-1 each, while the other Radville rink went 0-3.
A last stone draw was used to break the tie, with the Renkas rink finishing first, Cherpin second and Carlson third.
Henheffer upset Renkas in one semifinal, while Cherpin knocked off Carlson in the other.
